Siblings - too similar?

[SpringSummer22345]

Ella and Alice? Do they sound good together or too similar?

I think it works well

Only once have I known a child called Alice, known as Ally and that was years and years ago.

Both lovely names but I wouldn’t do it as I do think they’re too similar. I know lots of Alices and do know 2 that go by ally!

Go into a park and shout for them

Then picture their individual school friends call them El & Al or Ella & Ali you can't control that, as much as my Dad tried!

There are lots of names that won't create this unnecessary hassle.

Would be too similar for me personally, but I wouldn’t think it was odd to hear on other siblings.

If you like the name and have no other name that you like just as much then just use the name. I think they sound fine together and not too similar- I've heard of people using much much more similar names like one letter difference between three kids! If you don't intend on using a nickname anyway then it shouldn't matter if her friends call her Ally really. Anyway the only Aly I've known of was shortened from Alyanna.

@WitchesBritchesPumpkinPants best advice I've ever heard when it comes to names. Go into a park and shout them to see how they sound out loud. What a simple but awesome idea!!!!

I think they work together well
