If I have a Hazel already, can I name my new baby Heather or are they too similar?

I dont think they're too similar and they're both nice, I really love Hazel

A bit twee yes. Hazel is having a revival, whereas Heather's still waiting! I like the pp suggestion of Rowan.

What about Rowan?

LenoVintura · 02/09/2019 16:38

No. Way too twee.

Thanks. I’m not really into having names that match and was worried it would be too twee.

I like them together, they aren't too similar.

An alternative to Heather could be Erica/Erika, which is the Latin name for the heather plant.

Hazel and Erika is lovely.
