Thanks

Yep.

WowserBowser · 07/03/2014 17:20

I would say so.

kelda · 07/03/2014 17:21

What about Isobel/Isadora?

HyvaPaiva · 07/03/2014 17:21

Yes

Mouldypineapple · 07/03/2014 17:22

In theory yes but would they be called their full names all the time? I know 2 Gabriella's and they are both known as Gaby. Isabella has all sorts of variations. Gaby and Bella?? Gaby and Izzy? What would you call them?

mammamiaaaaa · 07/03/2014 17:26

Isabella would be Bella and Gabriella would be Gabby. I'm not a big fan of Gabby - not sure if it will grow on me...

HarrietVaneAgain · 07/03/2014 17:28

For some reason I'm now thinking of the cheeky girls think their names were something like that.

pussycatdoll · 07/03/2014 17:28

Yes too much
Sorry but I'd think you were a precious family Blush

pussycatdoll · 07/03/2014 17:29

Not a fan of Gabby either

fieldfare · 07/03/2014 17:45

If you shortened them to Ella and Izzy no, the full versions are a bit much together.

I know a Gabriella and Isabella. It's fine since they have nicknames anyway.

Clearly lots of people think it's a good combo since they're in the top ten twin names in the US.

HahaHarrie · 07/03/2014 19:21

I would say yes, too much. I do like Gabriella and Isadora suggestion.

soontobeslendergirl · 07/03/2014 19:41

Gabrielle and Isabella sound better together - or Gabriella and Isobel depending on which you already have :)

Mintyy · 07/03/2014 19:45

Yes. I would want to have a complete contrast ... like Mary or Ruth or Florence or something.

I know a family who have an Evie and a Genevieve - I find that slightly odd.

Onesleeptillwembley · 07/03/2014 19:48

Yes, especially having the same endings.

gilliangoof · 07/03/2014 19:48

For me, yes. But if you like them go for it. They are not outlandish names. They are both good names.

squoosh · 07/03/2014 19:49

Way too much.

lottieandmia · 07/03/2014 19:51

Yes I would say it should be either or. These two names were the final two on my short list for dd3.

intheround · 07/03/2014 19:55

Yes

BlueChampagne · 07/03/2014 21:38

Corinna?

BethGoLightly · 07/03/2014 21:39

Yes

Littlefish · 07/03/2014 21:42

Definitely too much.

SoftSheen · 07/03/2014 21:45

Yes. What if their separate groups of friends each decide to abbreviate their names to Ella?

looki · 07/03/2014 21:46

Yes .

BlueStarsAtNight · 07/03/2014 23:10

I know twins with those names, always thought it was a bit matchy. They go by Gabby and Bella though.
