Are Winnie and Millie too similar?

[sunshineee]

Thanks!!! finally found a 2nd name that we love.

In a word, yes................... sorry.........

For siblings or first and middle name for the same child?

Siblings

Yes they are.

You do realise that when they're older and you give them a telling off, you will do that name morphing thing and call them Minnie Willie?

Millie is the word we use for ehm lady parts, so millie wouldn't work in this house

Yes too similar, sorry

I think what Just said is something to really consider! I stumble over names in just that way...

Yes, I think so, when I read it I went Minnie and Willie in my head..

Yes, too similar. DD has friends Lily and Poppy whom I permanently find myself calling 'Polly and, erm, Lippy'.

I think so too, sorry

Yes

Yes. I once knew someone with a Lydia and Olivia.

It was a nightmare!

Hmmm I guess it maybe depends on your accent, but I would say probably they are a little bit too similar IMHO.

Very similar when spoken. Great excuse for child 1 to pretend she thought you were really actually speaking to child 2 when she wants to disobey an instruction etc. As well as sounding too similar, the combo is a bit too twee and cutesy for my taste - you are not naming cartoon characters - but that is a personal preference.

I don't think they sound alike at all ( at least not when I say them) but if j try to say them quickly I do end up saying Minnie and Willie so I can see what other posters mean!

Yes too similar.

Yes.

I definitely got a willy/minnie genitalia vibe from them as a set 😬
