Am I being silly?!

Hi everyone, I'm currently 18 weeks pregnant, not sure yet what team I'm on yet but I am thinking about baby names as you do.. the thing is, I can't help but consider DH's sisters daughters names when looking at potential names for our baby and whether the names rhyme with theirs or not (something I don't want) is this something I really should be worrying about? For example, I really liked the name Luna, however she has a daughter called Layla, which makes me think I can't use Luna now as they rhyme! It's really doing my head in and I need someone to tell me a) yes you are being silly it doesn't matter or b) yes it matters steer clear of names that sound too similar.. sorry for the long post! Any input welcome!

Ada is a great name. I prefer it without the y.

Luna and Layla are obviously both 2 syllables, start with L, and end in A. But even so, family will know the difference.

Stella, Aurora, Seren, Larissa, Lucy, Phoebe, Skye, Chiara, Faye, Thea?
