Too Similar for Sisters?

[AegonT]

I think I already know the answer to this but just wanted to check.

I have 6 year old named Josephine who gets called Josie almost all the time.

I am expecting another girl. I love the name Margaret but not hugely keen on Maggie or Meg as short versions. I wouldn't want to call her Margaret all the time and know that would probably result in Maggie getting used by others. I love Maisie. But Josie and Maisie?! What do you think?

I think that's fine!

I think it’s fine too! Josephine and Margaret are very different so I think it’s ok.

Personally, I think the nickname combination sounds rather twee and I also think Maggie is a great nickname, or even Aggie. Do you like the name Margot? To me, that sounds good with Josie but avoids the matching.

Don't think they are similar at all

Josie and Maisie is fine. Margaret is lovely, though - could you use Margot as a diminutive? Or I knew a Margaret who was Peggy. Indeed, I also know a couple of Margarets who have always just gone by Margaret; people will probably take their lead from you on that.

It's fine.
The s in Josie is not the same as the s in Maisie.

I think they sound great together!

Its lovely

I know a Josephine and Margaret who are sisters, but Margaret is older. She goes by Meg and Josephine goes by Jo. They're in their 30s and think they quite like their names.

It's borderline, it's OK I guess. Is Maisie a nn for Margaret though? Seems like a stretch.

I think it's ok. I quite like Josie and Maisie together.

Josie and Maisie - Absolutely fine
By the way Margaret is one of my very favourite names - so SO beautiful
Peggy is another nickname you could use

Fine

Daisy is a traditional nickname for Margaret; not heard Maisie used before.

Not too similar at all.

They sound nice together.
Maisie is normally a nickname for Mary i thought? At least in scotland anyway.

Sorry I'm wrong! I just looked it up and it is short for Margaret.
I had a relative called Maisie, her name was Mary hence my mistake.
Lovely names.

Maggie is loads nicer than Maisie

Absolutely fine. They sound good together.

I think Josie and Maisie are fine, esp. with Josephine and Margaret on the BC.

Daisy and Peggy are also traditional nicknames for Margaret as well as Maggie, Meg, Meggie and Maisie. So you (and DD) have lots of options if you go for Margaret.

That's fine. I had visions of Sarah & Sara or Sara & Zara

Josie and Maisie, Josephine and Margaret is fine, not too similar at all.

I don’t think they’re similar but what about Peggy?

Josie and Maisie are completely fine as sisters, especially as their full names are Josephine and Margaret.

Like Little Women ( Meg, Jo)
