To similar for a brother and sister?

[Alex10]

Hi all, Do you think the names Rosie and Rory would be too similar for a brother and sister? Thanksxx

They're too similar imo.

Yes.

A bit matchy, but it doesn't really matter unless you give a rat's bum about that kind of thing. I don't - unless you go stupidly similar, like Claud & Claudia or George & Georgina or something.

They are quite similar but they won't go round together for the rest of their lives so how long are people going to say Rosie and Rory

Try yelling them (as if across a park) and see how they sound!

Yes

It really doesn't matter, their names are said together for such a short space of time. My DCs have quite matchy names but don't care as love their names so wasn't going to not use them

Too matchy in my opinion

I wouldn't go with the same initial. It will be a bit of a pain later. Both lovely names

Happy to help with other suggestions. Promise not to say Jim

I'm thinkingnabout letters sent to the house with the same initial. It isn't a big deal, just a minor irritation

They also have ee at the end which is a bit rhymy

My sil has 3dc's
Riley
Rosey
Rory
Works for them so it would work for you x

I think it's fine :)

Rose might work better than Rosie. Are they twins?

Nope.

No. Sounds too rhymey like Topsy and Tim.

I like both names together,
I know 2 siblings called Josh and Ross, now that's bad!!

It's fine.

What's wrong with Ross and josh?

Try calling Ross and Josh. Its like a tongue twister

No.

Yes. Much too similar.

They are similar but does it matter if you love the names? I know sisters Laura and Loren, and siblings James and Jane!

I wouldnt

Too similar.

Which do you already have?

Alternatives for Rosie that have a similar feel (to me anyway)

Posy?
Poppy
Polly
Sally
Rosalind

If you already have a Rosie and are contemplating Rory I'm a bit stuck!
