... Leon if my name is Lisa?

Yes I may be hormonal and over-thinking this but they do obviously have similarities - both begin with L, both 4 letters, both 2 syllables, both start with the sound 'Lee'...

Love the name but just can't work out if they are too similar or not??!!

I think it's fine, you'll be mummy.

scarletforya · 20/05/2014 08:51

Yes, no problem!

TheTerribleBaroness · 20/05/2014 08:52

Of course you can!

Bowlersarm · 20/05/2014 08:56

Yes.

elQuintoConyo · 20/05/2014 09:02

Lovely. I'd say yes Smile

Choccyhobnob · 20/05/2014 10:17

Don't think that would be a problem at all, just the hormones making you doubt yourself!

Dinosaursdontgrowontrees · 20/05/2014 14:15

No problem at all! You are MASSIVELY over thinking this.

DramaAlpaca · 20/05/2014 15:12

Of course you can!

My name is very similar to DS2's and nobody has ever even noticed.

Leeds2 · 20/05/2014 18:11

No problem.

Marcipex · 21/05/2014 00:30

Yes.

SqutterNutBaush · 21/05/2014 00:39

Yes.

My mum, dad and brother all have same first initial and surname obviously.

I did always wonder why I was different though :o

ThinkIveBeenHacked · 21/05/2014 00:41

My Dds name is my name (well my nickname I get off everone) in reverse.

Didnt realise til after we registered her and someone pointed it out Blush

weatherall · 21/05/2014 01:11

No problem.

badtime · 21/05/2014 20:18

If you were called Leona or Leonora or even Leah, then I would say no, but Lisa and Leon aren't that similar.

BlueStarsAtNight · 21/05/2014 22:40

How funny thinkivebeenhacked, the exact same thing happened to us!

ThinkIveBeenHacked · 21/05/2014 23:11

Haha wonder if we have the same name

alita7 · 21/05/2014 23:16

Come on it's not Hannah is it? :p

2tired2bewitty · 21/05/2014 23:19

So long as your dp is not called Liam

WomanScorned · 22/05/2014 08:07

It doesn't matter, as you'll be known as 'Leon's mum' for at least the next 18 year's. No-one will even know you have any other name :)

TKKW · 22/05/2014 14:17

Yes, definitely.

MotherOfInsomniacToddlers · 22/05/2014 14:20

Yes, dh and dc2 have very close names
