Too matchy-matchy?

Phoebe and Zoe?

Dd1 is Phoebe Helena. The only names DH and I agree on for DD2 are Alice and Zoe. I think Alice is nice but maybe a little bland, but worry that Zoe is too close in sound and origin to Phoebe.

We also liked Elizabeth and Eleanor but I dislike every possible nickname... The middle name might be Joyce.

Any opinions / suggestions?

Phoebe & Zoe go very well together.

I also like Alice, but have a preference for Zoe with Phoebe.

No I don't think they're too similar.

Phoebe and Zoe are nice together. I wouldn't give it another thought!

I love Alice, especially when teamed with May or Mae.

I ADORE the name Helena!! I'm expecting my 2nd boy but Helena is my number one girls' name. Nice choice :)

I think Zoe and Phoebe together are fine. I don't mind Alice but how about Alicia instead? or another "Al" name like Alana, Alena?

I wouldn't worry about them sounding too similar though. Zoe and Phoebe are lovely together

Love Pheobe and Helena! Not so keen on Alice as very plain name IMO.

I like them together :) My cousins are Jessica and Rebecca and the other set of cousins are George and Joe... I don't see an issue here at all!

no I like Phoebe and Zoe together - like an almost rhyme but not quite. also as they are both Greek names there is a bit of a theme which is nice.
