Too similar?

[badg3r]

Already have an Eleanor. Are Eleanor and Alistair too similar? Eleanor doesn't get abbreviated (yet) but are we setting ourselves up for a lifetime of Ali and Ellie?

I do think they are a bit too similar, sorry.

The shortened names are too sing song. Sorry.

They are fine.
They'll probably be Al and Ellie.

This is what I was wondering. We will have no control over what they get called by friends but different peer groups do not necessarily a problem. And as you say they could be Ali, Al, Ellie, Elle, Nell, Nora at home or something completely different. I guess if I want to avoid the Ali and Ellie at home I can just jot call them that? I am thinking mostly of the shouting up the stairs to make them get out of bed teenage years tbh!

They are fine together

The short and long names are both very similar sounding. Do you mind though?

I think it’s fine.

I think they sound nice together

I don't think I do mind, I but we had two similar sounding names in our family growing up and it bugged me occasionally.

I quite like it! If you love the names, go for it xx

I thing it's fine. Alastair is a great name.
