DD1's name ends 'ie', DD2 ends 'ey' so would another 'ee' sounding name be a no no ?

That's about it .....

We've got a boys name picked but are seriously struggling, have lots we like but none are jumping out that we love.
I find myself suggested loads that end with an 'ee' sound but I think it would sounds too much having 3DD's ending in 'ee' sounds

One of Millie's middle names is Jessamy. (Jess-a-mee). There is also Jessamine.

What about Clara.

Your shortlisted names are lovely.

I bet you end up calling her Ellie

I know a Casey spelt Caycee.

I like Lara and Erin (my niece's name).

I also know sisters:-

Angela
Nicola
Pamela

But they are known as Angie, Nikki and Pam

Why not just have Jessie/Jess

It's popular because it is so lovely.

Defo not Ellie Minkychunky

We've been mulling it over and Lara Jess [surname] is the winner by far at the minute. DH is liking the LJ abbreviation

Both ds and dd have 'ey' names. Both two syllables, both with a monosyllabic middle name so both have the same rhythm and go really well together IMO. Our surname ends in 'ay' just to add to y theme.
It wasn't intentional to give them rhyming first names it was just what we liked and not that a third baby is on the cards, but I wouldn't be looking to either match or buck the trend.
I would go with what you like regardless of the ending but I think another two syllable name would sound good with your two.
