Are Lily and Lucy too similar to be sibling names?

Dd is a Lily and we are considering naming our second daughter Lucy but I'm concerned they sound/look too similar. Thoughts?

I actually think they go well together and sound cute, they both start with L but different sounds

They're too close and sort of clash.

I think it's too matchy.

No I think its fine. Same number of letters and the same classy vintage yet modern vibe. Its not like the same sound in the middle is it eh I know someone with a Lily and a Lydia and a Jodie and Jodie. They don't work in my opinion but who am I.

I think too similar myself.

Too matchy for my taste

I think those are lovely sibling names.

Personally I wouldn't. I would also avoid any name starting with L.
