Ivy and Iris

[beauandbetty]

Too similar for sisters?

Yes too similar I'm afraid. Both lovely though

No,M don’t think so.

I think so I'm afraid. Both lovely names though.

Much.

Too much

I shares the same initial as my mum and post was a nightmare growing up. You'll be driven mad by letters to Miss I Smith!

I think they are too similar - not just same letter but 50% the same as they are two syllable names with the same first syllable. Ivy and Isabel for example are less similar as different lengths and sounds despite the same first letter.

Yes, too similar. Both lovely names but put together they sound twee, and they aren't twee names.

It’s cute! Both lovely names. But they probably won’t appreciate having twinny names beyond the stage you can dress them in matching outfits.

I know sisters called Ida and Iris

Too similar for me. It fails the ‘can you distinguish the name when calling through the house?’ test for me, as all the emphasis on both names is the long I sound.

I have a great-niece called Ivy; when I suggested her sister should be called Holly I got a very funny look! (I was joking)

Way too similar (both lovely names though)

I think they are fine

Too matchy matchy.

I think they work fine together tbh

Both lovely but too close for me.
Ivy and Rose, Daisy, Willow, maybe

I think they're fine together.

I think it would be ok as the second part of each name sounds different.

I think they sound lovely together. They don’t similar at all.

Too similar yes, and Iris is so much nicer that Ivy gets the short straw.
