Emilie and Lily

yeah or nay?
dd1 is Lily Isabelle
dd2 due very soon would be Emilie Charlotte.

Is Lily and Emily ridiculous as both end on 'y' sound and have a 'i' in the middle? dh is french and names often end with i.e. rather than a.

Am i mad to consider having two sisters called emilie and lily?

I think Lily & Emilie together is fine.

anniebambammie · 30/10/2017 13:58

I think Emilie will get called Millie for short and you'll end up with Millie and Lily Smile Sorry op, too similar for me!

AnyaMoondial · 30/10/2017 11:58

I think they sound fine together. Stop worrying op, all is well 🙂

BernardBlacksHangover · 30/10/2017 10:29

How about Appoline? It has a similar lilty sound to it as Emilie and works in both languages. I know it's seen as a 'posh name' (I think?) in France, but it is lovely.

What about Eleanor or Florence?

Martha
Elisabeth
Constance
Alice
Seraphina
Tabitha
Jemima

So many lovely names to choose from!

Oh right your H doesn't like Sophie.

What about Susie and Lily or Sasha and Lily

SuperBeagle · 30/10/2017 09:33

I have an Emilia and Lily Rose, but I think the endings of Emilie and Lily are too similar.

My Emilia gets Emmy though, and your Emilie may well do too, and Emmy and Lily aren't too similar.

QueenLetizia · 30/10/2017 09:33

Too similar. Too many Ls.

Sophie is lovely

kaytee87 · 30/10/2017 09:31

I don’t think they’re too similar at all op. Say them out loud.... the emphasis is on the Em in Emilie.

PandorasXbox · 30/10/2017 09:31

Sophia and Lily work well.

Lunathemoon · 30/10/2017 09:29

Emmaline?

DH is not happy with Sophie Sad

I have the feeling that Lily and Emilie is just too much. back to square one, who'd have thought choosing a name can be so tricky.

I prefer Sophie as it sounds softer.

Sophie Emilie or Sophia Emilie if this combo?

thanks Smile

Lily2007 · 29/10/2017 12:07

I prefer that.

How about
Sophie Emilie (dd2)
with
Lily Isabelle (dd1)?

I think they are fine but in UK she will constantly be having it mis-spelt as Emily.

I prefer Elise Charlotte but if Emilie is a family name that's difficult. Lots of Emily's around but not necessarily an issue.

Lily and Sophie are gorgeous together

I know two sisters called Emma and Emily and have always thought that is too similar.
