Are Cora ana Lara too similar for siblings?

[TheRedFox]

I think they are - what do you think?

Yes, too similar

Yes way too similar

I think so.

OTOH I’d not be surprised to meet siblings with such similar names, people do do it.

Great thanks, thought that was the case!

Quite close but like pp I've heard far worse - it's not as if you are considering Laura and Cora. Lara and Cora at least have fairly distinct sounding first syllables (so if Lara/Cora are the only names you like then I'd just go for it - lovely names btw).

I don't think they're too similar. I knew a Lara and Anna which I thought were similar but flowed well together.

I also know an Archie and Alfie, so you can definitely get worse.

Also met siblings once called Joanne and Joseph. Both went by the short version!

They are fine, the first syllable is completely different.

I think they are ok

I too think they are OK.

Not too similar (in my accent at least)

I think it's fine!

They are similar, but not outrageously so, if you really like the name.

No they’re not too similar.

Sounds fine to me. Like a pp said, different first sounds.

Thanks everyone, although a bit more confused now 🤣🤣🤣

Gorgeous names. Who cares, they won't spend the whole of their lives together. Cora is my all time favourite name.

Yes, far too similar.

I knew a woman called, 'Cora', whose mother was, 'Nora'.

Cora is a pretty name but there are others.

Absolutely fine, they will spend max 17 years together then possibly live another 80 apart

You will end up calling them Cora/Cara and Lara/Lora....

I think they're too similar. I'd go for names with different numbers of syllables personally, I think it sounds better when you say them together. Not a dealbreaker if you love both names though.

@InvincibleInvisibility has a very good point !

I initially read your post as Cora and Lana and was thinking no but I think Cora and Lara are a bit too close. They feel a little tongue-twisterish together.

As a PP said: Cora and Laura - no. Cora and Lara - crack on. They sound lovely together and not too similar!

Thank you very much everyone!

I will keep it on the list but the similarity definitely needs to be taken into account.

Just need some help narrowing down the long list now...... 😭
