Winnie and Connie too close for sisters?

I don’t have a Winnie or a Connie but I adore both names (would use full names on BC - Winifred and probably Constance). If I used one for a baby, would the other one be off the table for a future baby do you think? I love them both so much, if I think I can use the other in the future then it will make my decision about which to use easier 😂

I have other children so they’d not be the only two which might make the nicknames seem less same-y? Their other siblings have nicknames which don’t end in an ie/y.

My final question is that one of my other children is a Tabitha. Would Tabitha, Winifred and Constance be too witchy of a combination? (My other children’s names not witchy! Am I overthinking?)

My husband's grandmother was called Winifred and her sister was called Constance. They were known by everyone as Winnie and Connie, or Win and Con. I don't think there's any issue at all using both names - it certainly never entered my head that their names were too similar/matchy-matchy.
