Are Erin and Iris too similar???

[WingingIt27]

Thinking of Iris as a potential name if baby #2 is a girl. We already have an Erin - do you think the names are too similar or do they sound ok together? It wasn't until I wrote the names out that I started questioning it (I think it's the look of the names, with them both being four letters and having 'ri' in the middle, rather than the sound..!)

Yes, I think so - sound wise as well

Rose, Rosa, Daisy, Lily - ?

I don't think they are too similar at all, in fact I really like them together. They don't look similar written down, and they sound very different.

Not too similar and go well together

I really like them together. They match (not that they need to) without sounding repetitive.

I think they're lush names and sound amazing together!

Not too similar.

Not similar at all and love them both.

i don’t think so and both lovely names

What about Nancy? We have an Erin and were going to use Nancy as a second DD (we had a DS).

I have an Erin too :) I think Iris goes lovely with Erin.

They’d be perfect for twins. But I somehow feel they’re too same-y for sisters.

Isla?
Orla?
Viola?

They are both nice but to me they don't actually go that well together. I see them as quite different styles.

No, I think they go well

Lois, Linos or Ines would be alternatives

I think they go fab together and are great names for sisters. Definitely not too similar both have completely different meanings but go really well together. Erin was on our shortlist for DC3

Not at all. I think they are lovely together.

Lovely, both beautiful!

A little. They are quite different in vibe.

I don't think they are similar at all. They go well together

No

They're great, not to samey at all.

How about Eirlys?

It’s snowdrop in Welsh and I love it.

No, I don’t think they are similar.

@YanTanTetheraPetheraPimp , it's a granny name, and a bit tricky to pronounce unless you have a rhotic r
