Too similar?

I have a son called Reuben (who we mainly call Roo at the moment, but will likely be Reuben more when he's older). I'm expecting another boy, and we LOVE the name Oberon... but is it too similar? We will nickname him Obie when he's young. Maybe someone can think of another full name that could have Obie as a nickname? It doesn't have to be an exact match... (e.g. we also have an Evelyn who is Effie).

Another name we like is Eben.. they're just all the same! We love Noah too but this is my nephew's name.

So 3 questions...

What do you think about the similar sounding brothers names? REUBEN + OBERON

Any other full name suggestions for nickname Obie?

And also opinions on two cousins having the same name (Noah) as that is also a possibility.
