Jemima and Cosima - too matchy?

[RosannaKN]

I have a 3yr old daughter called Jemima and am pregnant with her sister. I love love love the name Cosima but is it just silly to have 2 names with the same last 3 letters?
please help me decide!!!

How do you pronounce Cosima? I say it with a German accent (KO-zi-mah - ko a mix of a short o and the French ou sounds…).

I think it depends on where the accent is placed and whether the syllables are the same length or not - as Jemima for example isn’t, so the words would sound different.

Please no.

Constance/Connie?

It’s fine. Similar to having two daughters who both end in the “ia” sound and I know a couple of those. The first couple of syllables in Jemima and Cosima sound different enough not to cause confusion. But if you have a third daughter, it might get awkward 🤣

Sorry I don’t like it. Makes me think of swimming cossie.

Eeeek no too matchy. Love both separately though.

They are pronounced quite differently so it doesn't matter that the endings look the same written down.

jem-EYE-mah is very different to COZ-i-mah

So I say go for it.

No, it's not great. I'd go for something different.

It’s fine and they are two individuals not just two sisters so give them the individual names you love.

I have two children whose names are anagrams of one another and nobody ever notices and are amazed when I point it out!

I'd never think they were similar names until i see them in writing - they don't rhyme at all, so I think go for it!

Love Cosima, such a cool name

I don't think it's similar to Jemima, as they've got totally different vibes and sound quite different desire the same-spelled ending

Maybe… it’s the “ma” at the end, which makes them more matchy than say, Amanda and Rebecca.

Constanza? Carenza?

I wouldn't, but ultimately it's your choice. (Jemima is a gorgeous name btw).
Maybe -
Catriona
Hallie
Keira
Cerys
Cara
Coralie

They don’t rhyme. It’s fine.

Personally I don’t like the name Cosima, though.

Both gorgeous names. They don't really rhyme; they have very different rhythms and pronunciations.

Jemima = jeh - MIME - uh
Cosima = COH - seh - muh

I’ve heard worse in terms of similar names/matching names so I’d say it’s fine.

The -ima sounds different so I think they're OK for sisters. Both names are nice.

They're pronounced very differently so it's fine.

It's completely fine, both lovely names. It's only the 'ma' at the end that is the same, the rest of the names are said quite differently, or differently enough.

Go for it!

Same!

I’d say them as Jem-EYE-ma and COZ-ee-ma, so the stress is quite different? Would avoid if you plan to say Jem-EYE-ma and Cos-EYE-ma!

It's fine.

I love both names and can't see that they would clash in any way at all. They are both distinctly different.

Beyond the fact I’m not a fan of the name (what’s is shorted to, Cos? Cossie like swimming cossie?) It is a bit similar.

I think it’s fine - they are both nice names

You do know both Jemima and Cosima can be shortened to Mimi???
Very similar and risks them both having the same shortened name.
