Baby name

[Cece18]

Are the names lara and alora too similar for sisters?

Yes imo. They share too many of the same letters/sounds for me, despite being different numbers of syllables. Depending on whether Lara or Alora is your first DD you could have similar style names though - say Lara and Elenora or Alora and Lana.

Far too similar sorry.

Yes

I would say too similar as well unfortunately

Yes, I would say they are.

I think they're fine but you are going to get people muddling it up and calling one or the other Laura

They are quite similar but if you love it go for it !! 💗

I think you’re right they are too similar ☹️ I’ve got a older daughter lara and another one called sienna, I’ve just had another girl 2 weeks ago but really struggling for a name for her, contenders so far:
Athena
Ayla
Lila
Emilia
Any suggestions are very welcome 🤗

Love Athena from your list.

How about:
Artemis
Taryn
Keziah
Arianna
Julia
Tamsin
Ruby

Eudora
Althea
Aphra
Audra

Though personally I'd go for a name that doesn't end in a, such as:
Fern
Jocelyn
Audrey

Athena is beautiful - goddess of wisdom whose symbol was an owl. Very common in Greece but not so much here.

Athena -Yes
Ayla - no, don't like the way it sounds or how it looks
Lila - no and not with lara
Emilia - nice but a bit overused

Athena is beautiful. I like Emilia too but it's more popular now (and may get confused with even more popular Emilia). I'd avoid another L or S name and I find Ayla a bit trendy sounding personally. Names I think are similar style to your choices -

Elena
Eliana
Aurora
Aurelia
Thalia
Gaia
Cassia

Should say confused with even more popular Amelia!

Love Athena, if you can get past the poster shop connection.

Congratulations

With a Lara and Sienna I really wouldn't pick another name ending in A, sorry.

Suggestions

Tamsyn
Fleur
Robyn
Carys
Penelope
Annabel
Marguerite
Vivienne
Merryn

Hope you find something you love. Enjoy your baby.

Zoe, Margot, Jasmine, Vivienne, Gabrielle, Naomi

I’d go for Athena out of those.
