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 Millie rather than Emilie would would work. I can't really give a reason why or how about
Amelia
Emelia

I know siblings Emily, Lily, Holly and Ivy!!

See I think it would still be OK. Not sure why as Millie and Lily wouldn't work, but Emilie is just different enough I think. Something to do with the emphasis being on the Eh so it's Ehm-ly and Lily.

Lily and Emilie are lovely together. I wouldn't let the similar sounds put you off, it's not immediately striking as a rhyme like Molly and Holly for instance. Also is Emilie pronounced differently from Emily? If it's pronounced Emilia then even better.

way too similiar I'm afraid. Sorry as they're nice names.

Could you go for Charlotte Emilie? Lily and Emilie are both lovely names but I think too similar for me.
