Ella and Alice? Do they sound good together or too similar?

Fine unless they are Elly and Ally.

Oh sorry, hit send too soon. Yes, we wouldn't call her Ally but I guess the problem is nicknames are out of our control once she's a little older.

...ending sound, different starting letter. As long as you don’t call Alice Ally as a nickname.

I think they’re fine. Different

Too similar I think, purely from a bellowing-up-the-stairs point of view.
