Twins names

I am having twins very soon and if they are both girls i would like to use the names Clara and Sarah. I am a bit worried that they sound too similar (at the end of the name if you know what I mean).
So what do you think?

Thanks

They do sound quite similar and Sarah is sometimes mispronounced as Sara....sometimes Clara is mispronounced too so it might be confusing

Thanks - thats my worry, i think we would use Sally as a nickname so mostly would be Clara and Sally. Oh don't know really!

They do sound similar but if you think Sarah will mostly be called Sally then I don't think it will matter.

they go well together imo

Why not just call her Sally? Clara and Sally are lovely

I think Clara and Sarah go very nicely together.

Try calling them- will you get tongue tied when you want them to come in from the garden or downsatirs for a meal?

motherlovebone · 29/04/2010 20:04

you will prob be calling 'girls' or 'dinner'
or NN lara and sally

LOVE Clara
Sarah is nice, but the 2 together don't roll that well to my ear. Sally is ok.

How about Sadie. Clara and Sadie sounds lovely.

You may end up saying Clara and Sara by accident..

too similar i think yes xx

birdofthenorth · 30/04/2010 15:09

I would just call them Clara and Sally. Lovely names. Agree with Lora that you'd end up mispronouncing them when yelling in a hurry... I know a "Zoe and Noah" who often end up "Zoah and Noey" in haste!!

birdofthenorth · 30/04/2010 15:10

NB LOVE Sadie too. Clara and Sadie is great.

rooted · 30/04/2010 17:06

Thanks all, my husband is insistant that Sally is a nickname and therefore we have to have a 'proper' name! I like Sadie too - food for thought!

What about Clara and Susie?

That seems more balanced. less,,,,Panda ish, more sisterly

Magaly · 30/04/2010 17:08

Clara and Sadie is lovely. good suggestion.

recireci · 30/04/2010 17:10

Sophia

recireci · 30/04/2010 17:13

Sadie and Sally are both diminutives of Sarah, but you might consider them names in their own right

kailie · 02/05/2010 11:03

I agree - clara & sarah are nice names but just too similar....but clara with either sally or sadie is lovely
