How we pick siblings

For each candidate we require: the same primary origin as Kevin, a U.S. rank in 2023, a different first letter, and a different two-letter ending. Candidates are then scored by origin overlap and proximity in rank, so siblings sit in the same popularity tier rather than pairing a Top-10 name with something obscure.
