Too similar for siblings?

Expecting baby number 3 and not finding out the gender.

I have a DS called Arthur and a DD called Emilia.

I really love the name Ella for a little girl but people have mentioned that it could be a bit similar to Emilia? What do you think?

Nope. I was thinking of Isabella or Arabella but not a fan of the nickname Bella with our B surname.

I’d go for something different.

Too close and hard to say together.

Yes the two names are pretty similar but not so alike that you wouldn’t be able to get away with it imo.

I don’t think so, they won’t always be mentioned together anyway when they are adults

Yeah I'd go for something completely different to the other two names personally
