Too similar...?

If we already have a Ryan, would it be too similar to call his baby sister Erin..?

No I think it's fine! I wouldn't bat an eyelid if I heard of those 2 names together!

Are they similar? They don’t look it

heatwave2018 · 04/07/2018 12:42

Erin and Ernie maybe but not Erin and Ryan

Flamingosnbears · 04/07/2018 12:45

They're fine together

hellohello12345 · 04/07/2018 12:50

Not similar at all

QOD · 04/07/2018 12:50

I know siblings with those names

Also know of a Harry and Henry 🤷🏻‍♀️

Not in the least bit similar.

SquidgyMcPidgy · 04/07/2018 14:49

Ohh thank you, I was worried about using it but now I feel much happier :)

Also, what are people’s thoughts on Alina vs Erin..? These are the only two names we have left on our list.

Much prefer Erin!

DramaAlpaca · 04/07/2018 15:34

Erin, definitely.

MariaMadita · 04/07/2018 15:50

They aren't too similar imo.

Alina and Erin are both nice.

itbemay · 04/07/2018 15:56

Erin is lovely...

LadyDuplo · 04/07/2018 16:06

They're fine.

I know two brothers - Neil and Lee. Look different but sound so similar.

BasicBetty · 04/07/2018 16:43

The names sound absolutely fine together. And I MUCH prefer Erin.

Phyllispontypandy · 04/07/2018 16:57

I think they sound good together, not too similar.

1One2One1 · 04/07/2018 17:06

Ladyduplo do you really think Neil and Lee sound alike? I can't make them sound similar however hard I try- though together it comes out a bit like Nearly! Grin

Op they go well together and are not similar sounding.
