They are quite similar. It’s not the same as James and Jennifer at all (as a pp said) as Stanley and Sidney don’t just start with the same letter, they’re the same rhythm and rhyme too!

I think Stanley and Lola go well or...

but stanley is oldfashioned and sidney i think is modern, dont you want an old fashioned girls name too?

I think they are a little similar, but the initial thing wouldn't put me off. My mum, sister and I have the same initials, we never had an issue with post that I can recall.

I love Stanley!

I’d stick with something ‘vintage-y’ sounding, but fairly classic. That’s how I think of Stanley.

I liked lola but everyone said it was prostitute-y which put me off. What about Lila or Lilia instead?

Lily is a good combination
