Sean and Sinead

Ok so my son’s name isn’t actually Sean but it’s a similar classic Irish boy’s name that starts ‘Sh’. Is it awful if I call my daughter Sinead? Will it sound matchy and twee/a mouthful?

I started a similar thread recently about having 2 children with the same initials and consensus seemed to be it was fine, but wondering if this is a step too far.

Other options I’m considering are Ailbhe (worried the spelling will be an issue for her - live in London), Nora (think this is becoming quite popular which I’d like to avoid) and Mary (DH and I pronounce it differently which may annoy me/be confusing).

Other thoughts and ideas welcome!

Mairead if you like Mary? Eimear is lovely too.

Sinead is a great name on it’s own, it’s not like they’re twins so they wouldn’t necessarily be that matchy, really; and if you had a third child with a different initial again it would take away from that anyway (not to get ahead of myself lol).
