Heather AND Hazel?

[Acornacorn]

If I have a Hazel already, can I name my new baby Heather or are they too similar?

I think they sound cute together!

Not similar-hazel is lovely heather is not.

I know sisters called Heather and Hazel. I like both and think they are fine for siblings

My friend was Hilary her sisters were Helen, Hazel and Heather.

I really like them names and the combination!

I knew a family who had these two names and a Holly too

I like them together, they aren't too similar.

An alternative to Heather could be Erica/Erika, which is the Latin name for the heather plant.

Hazel and Erika is lovely.

Thanks. I’m not really into having names that match and was worried it would be too twee.

No. Way too twee.

What about Rowan?

A bit twee yes. Hazel is having a revival, whereas Heather's still waiting! I like the pp suggestion of Rowan.

I dont think they're too similar and they're both nice, I really love Hazel

I love Rowan but my husband is Owen, and Rowan and Owen would definitely be too twee and confusing 😂

Owen and Rowan - no

In my experience, it’s very annoying for post as they get older! Will constantly be opening each other’s private mail. I wouldn’t do 2 same initials, especially for the same gender.

I think it's a bit twee and will be annoying for post. I love Hazel.

I really love Hazel. Not sure about putting it with Heather though. @helpmum2003 has some good suggestions.

I think you’re removing some of the older girls identity with both nature & initial. Weirdly whether I’d do it probably depends on the age gap - 5+ years between them it will matter a lot less

It's fine.

Outing but my mum is Hazel and I’m Holly 😊

Posy

Nice. I always think you shouldn't place too much importance on a name 'working with' sibling name as it is only noticed when they're young anyway, most of their lives they will just be Heather, not Heather and Hazel. If that makes any sense.

Heather is very dated and a bit dull.

I think you’ll only need one to open a private letter from a doctor or someone once, and you’ll regret the same initial. It happened to my DP all the time as a teenager with his brother, and he is very adamant he’d never do that to our children

Although Heather is gorgeous
