Almost gender neutral names for siblings?

[SallyStarbuck]

DD1 is called the classic English 'A' name (four syllables), but is almost always known as the common shortening, which is one of those names which is used for boys and girls.

We are expecting DD2 and the name we like most at the moment is Joanna. However I know we'd end up saying Jo most of the time.

Is it going to look a bit silly, or try hard, if both names are gender neutral - I mean, if you said "my kids are called XXXX and XX" you wouldn't know whether you meant two girls, two boys, a boy or a girl?

I'm worried as well because DD1 dresses a little bit like a tomboy - well, no dresses or skirts, very little pink or pastel etc - so DD2 will end up in the same clothes for the first few years. I can't help think that the name plus a lack of pink might make it look like we're desperately trying to make some sort of point

Yes or no?

Who cares? Just go with a name you like. It doesnt matter as log as the child is healthy and happy

I know someone with a Georgina, called George and Harriet, known . As Harry.

It's a bit odd.

I love the names Georgina and Harriet, would have used them both, wouldn't have occurred to me it would sound odd!

That's what I was wondering people would think, Tea...
