Amelia and Olivia - too simiar???

[sallycinamon]

We already have an Amelia and thinking about calling this dc (if it's a girl!) Olivia. I think they're quite similar sounding names so I'm not convinced. I do really like the name Olivia though and think it'll end up being shortened to Livi.

What do you think?

Other possibilities for a girl are Rosie and Eleanor.

thanks!

I don't think they're too simialr; I think they go quite nicely together.

I love Rose (prefer it to Rosie, although Rosie is OK), and Eleanor is nice as well.

they are lovely names all but not to keen on Rosie prefer Rose

Do you shorten Amelia? If you do you may want to think about the shorted names - e.g Millie and Livi- do you like them?

melly and olly

I wouldn't have said that they are too similar. If you love Olivia you should go for it. I do like Rosie though

I think they are too similar, but its very subjective as with all name stuff!

I think they are very similar- not sure if they are too similar..they are both very very "now". (it would be kind of like having both an Emily and a Grace a couple of years ago)

I think they're very similar as well. Maybe Octavia instead of Olivia?

Very similar - some friends of mine have an Olivia and an Amelia and I do find it tricky, am always getting their names confused.

i don't think they sound that similar!

Our dd1 is Isobel and we have an Oliver and a Daniel and DD2 is due in August and we think she is going to be called Imogen, I don't think we'll shorten them to issy and immy but otherwise I think they are nice together even though my friend thinks two names beginning with I is silly!

They're okay together, but I prefer Amelia and Eleanor as a sibset

I think they are slightly too matchy.

gigglegirl, I don't think Isobel & Imogen are too matchy, they have completely different sounds/endings apart from the I at the beginning. We have Noah, Isaiah, Isla, and Eleanor, and we've gotten TONS of flak for Noah & Isaiah ending in the 'ah' sound, and with using Isla & Isaiah as both I's. We considered some I names for Eleanor but 1) didn't want Noah to be left out! and 2) felt there were tons of lovely names without matching.

Sorry to hijack the OP!

Too simelar i think.

Amelia and Olivis go together fine. Rosie and Eleanor are nice too.

They are similar, but I think they go together well, especially if you would be using shortened forms. Both very pretty names IMO.

Hatrick - Thea and Saskia, really? Lovely! I have a Thea, and Saskia is the other DD's favourite name, she wishes she'd been called it!

I like them both but I think that they are too similar. Why not use Olivia for the second name?

I think they go together nicely BUT Olivia is tres tres tres popular (top 5?) - if this doesn't worry you go with Olivia if you like it
