Elliott & Scarlett - too similar?

I am due B&G twins.

I'm searching for the perfect names!

We both love these, but don't want people to think we are trying to be matchy, what do you think?

No, not too similar in my opinion. Both lovely names.

Love those names together!

How crazy. These are my names for when I have children. Love them both

They sound really lovely together, not too similar at all!

DramaAlpaca · 27/03/2016 17:44

They are fine together.

My DS is Elliot, maybe spell it like that and then they don't look similar written down? I think they are both lovely.

I think they are wonderful names for twins. Even having tt at the end of both names ties the two names together perfectly for twins.

I think they're too similar, sorry.

Far too similar, both in sound and visually when written together. I think with twins you need to be especially careful to avoid any question of overlap or matching. Some degree of similarity might just about be tolerable as separately-born siblings but as twins, no.

Love these too names together ! Wanted Elliott for my boy name but my hubby doesn't like it and Scarlett is on my girls list 😊

PunkAssMoFo · 30/03/2016 17:55

Maybe Ellis instead of Elliot?

Ellis is a good idea Smile

Ethan, Edward, Eli, Ezra?

I love them both! I think they fit really well together, I don't see how they're too similar? Hmm I think the double t, makes it visually appealing for twins!
