Opinions on names pls

[blackpoolhouse]

what are people’s opinions on rhyming sibling names? Our 2nd is called Flora, now expecting our 3rd, we like the name Leonora also due to the shortening to Leo or Nora, not because it rhymes. Is this just odd??

Yes I wouldn't.
I think Flora and Nora would be weird.
If you want Leo what about Leonie, Leona.

Too close I would say.

I don't think it's weird, but if you want alternatives what about Leonore?

No, rhyming names sound silly.

Yes its à bizarre idea op imo
My friend is called Selina after her grandma. Another family i know chose names with a similar origin. Eg Rita taken from Margarita to other names semantic 'Pure, white ' origins. X

No, too rhymey!

Flora could sound fine with..
Louisa
Eloise
Alannah

It’s not odd. Flora and Leonora rhyme a bit, but they’re still different names, and the nicknames make them distinct.

Flora and Nora are awful together.

leonie is a bit dfferent but not too far removed, could be shortened to Leo which doesnt clash with Flora

You can’t have a Flora and a Nora. Agree Leonie works better.

Not with Flora. What about Leona, Leola, Cleo, Eleanor?

I have this same issue with names I really like rhyming with my own. I wouldn't be able to overlook the rhyming personally.

I think Leonie is a really cool name and sits nicely next to Flora.

No, it sounds like something from a limerick.

This!

Flora and Nora - lovely for a pair of mice!

Nobody cares, OP.

Sounds too twee

Flora and Nora is super cute for two kittens, not so much for two sisters.

I also think Leona might be better

We have a 15yo Flora so when we were coming up with names for a sibling I found I loved the rhyming names (Nora, Leonore, Clara) but decided definitely not. I couldn’t imagine introducing our children “Flora and Nora”. I love Eden which is what we’d have named a girl but we had a boy!

Very odd. Don't do it.

I think it’s fine as Nora will be a nickname, so if you’re introducing them to people you can use full names. Also sibling names aren’t used a lot outside of the home, they’ll be in different classes etc. I know twins William and Matilda, known in their family as Billy and Tilly.

No to Flora and Nora (and I'd hate to be called Nora). Leonie is much prettier than Leonora.
