Could I have a Chloe and a Leo?

Or is it like a tongue twister/anagram-ish?

Hypothetical but thinking of trying for DC4 and love the name Leo but DC3 is Chloe.

Thoughts?

Not really. Bit too similar imo.

It's not ideal. Theo?

Don't see a problem. Cleo and Leo no, but quite easy to say 'Chloe and Leo'.

Two really lovely names and both on my List too!

I agree with PP that Cleo and Leo would sound silly, but Chloe and Leo are absolutely fine together.

I would but there again I have a Jordan and a Morgan.
Some people are a bit Hmm about it.

Yes I think it's fine.
I also know of a sibset Jordan (boy) and Morgan (girl), Whathave Grin.
I also know a brother and sister called Jodie and Joe. Seems a bit daft to me. What if Jodie suddenly decides she wants to be known as Jo

I think they would be fine together. Written down they look sort of similar but said aloud they sound different enough, they don't rhyme or share any nicknames so I think go for it.

Leo is a lovely name :)

Go for it! Had to click on this to figure out why it would be wrong :) - didn't even cross my mind.

Leo was the name DD2 would have been given if she'd been DS2. I love it, please use it, as I won't be! Will be fine with Chloe.

Both lovely names. But I might be a tiny bit biased (one of them was a boat, though). Seriously, I don't see any problem with the sound. Unless, of course DCs 1 and 2 are Theo and CleoGrin

Its fine, same letters but different sounds (I know a sibset Sam and Amy, which is similarly same but different).

I think it's fine too. Both nice names.

Sounds fine! They're different sounding names so work fine together IMO.
