Orlagh and Mila

[Emz555]

Are they too similar / samey as a sibling set?

They sound fine

I think Mila is much more faddy than Orlagh though

They sounds nice together to me.

I don’t like how they sound together

They sound fine. I don’t think people should worry so much about how names sound together anyway. They’re children for a short time and then they have their own lives. I think giving them nice names is better than matching with a sibling

I think they sound nice together.

Mila is an ugly sound. (Mealer.) It's not good with Orlagh either unfortunately.

Really dislike Mila, it’s one of these faddy nothingy names that’s just a noise. Like a toddler trying to say Amelia. But anyway, I guess they go.

I hate the spelling of Orlagh. Orla is much better, and a more authentic Irish spelling.

the two names sound fine together though.

Both lovely names :)

If you’re going with the longer spelling of Orla, Orlaith looks a bit nicer I feel. Or go the whole hog with Órfhlaith, haha!

I think they sound really odd together. One Irish, one Russian. They make no sense as a set to me.

On what planet are Mila and Mealer homophones? @halfsiesonapotnoodle

I think 'meelah' would be the most common pronunciation (and hence perhaps too similar to Orlagh).
I like both names though also prefer the Orla spelling.

🙄Mila rhymes with dealer
Mealer rhymes with dealer
They are exactly the same sound.

oh good. it's been weeks since a nice rhotic/non-rhotic row.

Exactly!
