Two siblings with names ending in 'el'

[AlexanderS]

If you had a DS called something like Daniel and then you had a DD would you consider calling something like Isabel or Annabel? After all, the 'el' in Daniel is pronounced 'ull' rather than 'elle'. Or would you think as a pair of names that they were a bit samey?

[AlexanderS]

Sorry, calling her.

[ThePigOfHappiness]

Wouldn't bother me at all. Both my sister and I have names that end in a ee sound and it is perfectly normal :)

[GinSoakedMulberryBush]

I think that's fine. Annabel and Samuel. Rachel and Daniel.

Nope, that would pass over me definitely. I wouldn't notice that. Even if I noticed I wouldn't think, oh they didn't think that through.

[SomersetONeil]

Yes, what Gin said.

[steppemum]

sounds fine
I think if it sounded really rhyming that would be a problem

[AlexanderS]

Like Cayden and Jayden, sort of thing? What about, say, Morgan and Rowan?

[MadSleighLady]

Am a bit sensitive to this stuff, but I agree it's all about the "ull" sound. So I probably wouldn't have Daniel and Rachel, but Daniel and Isabel/Annabel fine.

Morgan and Rowan would be a bit too similar for me - but then Vivienne and Rowan would be fine.

[Alisvolatpropiis]

I don't say Morgan and Rowan in the same way. Or Daniel and Isabel.

Although to they have the same endings they don't actually sound alike.

[Mu1berryBush]

I wouldn't do Iris and Marcus for example but two 'el/iel/uel' endings doesn't seem so obvious.

[AnnaKissed]

Can I ask a similar question then? What about names ending in -an? Both my dh and ds have names ending in -an, but some of my favorite names for the next dc end in -an too. And I don't want to be left out!

[lljkk]

Why stop at 2? I have 3 .

They mostly go by NNs, anyway.

This thread is completely contradicting a previous MN thread about how awful rhyming names among siblings are.

[lljkk]

Previous thread. Not kind at all.

[madmayday]

I reckon it's fine. But I'm biased as I actually do have a Daniel and an Annabel....!

I've pondered Rachel, Samuel or Michael for a third DC, but that might be taking it a step too far!

[copyandpaste]

I reckon it's totally fine

[RillaBlythe]

I think it is fine, but then my two both have two syllable names ending in 'a'.

[BonnieWeeJeannieMcCall]

I think it's fine, because the stress is on the non-rhyming syllables DANiel and ANNAbel or ISAbel. They don't sound too rhymey.

[NoTeaForMe]

Cayden and Jayden are not fine though not even individually!

Daniel and Annabel sound fine together.

Similarly would you have two names ending in -ee/-ie sound?
