Stick with theme or change? Twins on the way

Our three children have names starting with the same initial. The first two were not deliberate, they were just names we agreed on. We thought our third would be the last baby so we stuck to the same initial. The initial is C.

Now having twins and deciding whether to stick to the same initial, choose a different initial thats the same for both babies, or give them both separate initials. Twins are both girls.

However we absolutely love one girls name and it starts with the same initial, or could start with different but same sound. The name is Cara. We could spell it Kara.

However we can't come up with another C or K name that we like but we do like Sydney which we could sell Cydney.

Wish we'd never started this now. Even our 2 dogs and 3 cats have C names.

I don't think it really matters, so I wouldn't let it affect your decision too much. Having said that, I guess I would think even more C names is okay but maybe a bit much, whereas a different initial but the same as each other, might be cool.

For example, would be a bit weird to be C, C, C, L + E, whereas C, C, C, L + L could be cool.

Cara is nice but I'd choose something else instead of Cydney

Cydney & Cara sound beautiful!
