Too matchy-matchy?

Phoebe and Zoe?

Dd1 is Phoebe Helena. The only names DH and I agree on for DD2 are Alice and Zoe. I think Alice is nice but maybe a little bland, but worry that Zoe is too close in sound and origin to Phoebe.

We also liked Elizabeth and Eleanor but I dislike every possible nickname... The middle name might be Joyce.

Any opinions / suggestions?

I think Zoe Joyce is a lovely name. They go well together IMO.

Zoe Joyce sounds fine. And Zoe goes well with Phoebe too. Why the last minute wibbles?

I really like both Phoebe and Zoe. They kind of sound similar-Ishmael but not close enough to be a problem.

*similar-ish. Bloody auto-correct!

Thanks, ladies. I think my wibble is just that we decided on the name quite early on and I'm now worried that I may have missed out on another name, but also the -ee sound at the end might sound a bit twee for two daughters. I'm sure it's fine, and we have lovely reasons for choosing the name. Similar Ishmael would be a great name :)

I actually love the name Alice, but I don't see a problem with Phoebe and Zoe as siblings' names.

Zoe Joyce really is good. I like the unusual juxtaposition.

Also, ZJ are great initials.

Zoe is a lovely that you don't hear much these days! Think it goes fine with Joyce too

Zoe is a great choice. Not keen on Joyce...prefer Joy as a nod to your granny.
