I would say so but both lovely in their own right!

BenLui · 17/09/2017 15:34

For sisters? Yes I think so. Lovely names though.

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 17/09/2017 15:35

Yes I think so.

No, I think just because they start with the same letters and have a similar sound they do have different meanings at the end of the day, I guess what I'm saying is if you love them use them and don't worry what others think.

No, I would go with it, beautiful names.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 17/09/2017 17:04

Just go with it OP.
Josephine and Joanna
Caroline and Cara
Christina and Chrystal
Eleanor and Eloise
I know them all, don't spoil it for yourself.
It's not a shame, you've made a great choice. 😄

Yes.
Instead of Seren, you could try:
Serenity
Stella
Serena

Instead of Seraphina, what about:
Josefina
Edina
Nina

For siblings yes.

For cousins or friends no.

DramaAlpaca · 17/09/2017 22:56

I think they are fine for siblings. Lovely names.

Liadain · 17/09/2017 23:01

Yes, too matchy for siblings. No problem for cousins though I think.

As a pp mentioned them - I think Serena and Seraphina, or Serenity and Seraphina have the same issue!

I think they are too similar for sisters yes.
