Is Orla too similar to Oliver...

[typsical]

...? (As a sibling. Not bothered about initials being the same, but do they sound too similar..?)

Yes and a bit of a tongue twister to say together!

Yes I think they do sound to similar.

yes. Don't do it. Me and my sis have very similar names and it's painful to hear my mum get us mixed up

I agree that they sound quite similar.

I guess I knew this before I asked. Anyone suggest names with a similar 'feel' to Orla...? I think I like the idea of the 'golden-haired princess'...

Oonagh?

Oon and Ollie

Yes they do. But both are gorgeous names!!!

Lara?

I like Lara, but can't have an 'r' in it! But thank you! Any more along those lines reddaisy...?

As in the 'r' sound. Orla is okay IYSWIM!

I like Lola which has no "r" in it but it isn't to everyone's taste.

You mean in the second part of the name then really?

I used to like it, but I know one, which puts me off. But thanks again. I'm off to bed, keep thinking for me, thanks lots! :)

Erm, well it defintiely can't start with an R either. A close relative struggles with the 'r' sound! :) So Lara might be Lawa :)

*definitely

Thea, Emma, Sophia, Anna, Freya, Isabella, Jessica, I know you don't want any "rs" but I love Dora!! But DP hates it so it will never happen for us!

(I also nearly just suggested Livia which would have been stupid!)

I do think Orla and Oliver are very similar.

How about Isla, Emma, Nina, Elsa, Lana, Megan, Iona?

I think it's lovely! It's my niece's name so I'm a lot biased. I actually think they go well together. It's not like you want to call her Olivia.

Orla does have an 'r' sound in it though. It's not Awla.

Yes far too similar imo, I'm afraid.

Aoife, Isolde, Sadie, Fiona, Keavy all have some meaning to do with princess or fair I think (not quite golden hair but close!).
Similar endings: Adela, Della, Talia, Milla, Viola, Fenella.

Alas yes, I think they do. It's a shame as they are both great names.

I don't think they are too similar but suspect they could be a bit of a tongue-twister ... Go for them if you love them!
