Too similar for siblings?

Expecting baby number 3 and not finding out the gender.

I have a DS called Arthur and a DD called Emilia.

I really love the name Ella for a little girl but people have mentioned that it could be a bit similar to Emilia? What do you think?

Don't do it. Two mine have similar names it's a nightmare. Hard enough to remember what they are called at the best of times. Grin

I don't think they are too similar.
If also just use Ella absolutely no point calling her a name you have no intention of using. Besides all the other names start with a different letter so don't do that.

They are quite similar but the main sound is different - 'eh' vs the 'ee' sound in Emilia so I don't think it would be confusing.

I actually don’t think they are too similar at all!

Both lovely names and not too similar…only problem I can see is they will have the same initials …but not a third world problem!
