Are these names too similar? Opinions please.

Are Benjamin and Beatrice too similar or do they sound ok together? Any opinions would be very helpful! Thanks

If its for siblings then I wouldn't want them to have the same initials but otherwise no they aren't too similar.

I think they're fine. Nice names, not too similar. I am a bit iffy about same initials for siblings though.

No I think OK to use for siblings.

I wouldn't do it - Ben & Bea, too similar.

Not too similar, in fact they go well together.

Benjamin and Beatrice is okay, just.

Bea and Ben (the flowerpot men) are too similar and sounds silly

They're fine together.

Not sure - are you sure you want your son and daughter to sound like the hero and heroine of Much Ado About Nothing?

I like them. My Dad was one of four B's and as far as I know they all enjoyed being linked in that way!

Thanks for your replies so far everyone. Any more opinions much appreciated.

I think they are fine. They are not similar enough to cause confusion, they are both lovely names, and your DC won't come as a pair everywhere they go for their whole lives, so I don't think it is really an issue.

Ben and Bea are a little too similar for siblings. I'd also avoid the same initials.

Absolutely fine. Don't see what initials has to do with anything.
