    Is Chelsi too similar to Charli ???

    If we have a boy next time there is no issue with names. A few years back I mentioned to DH that I quite liked Brock for a boys name and he pounced on it straight away (I'm sure because of peter brock )

    We cannot agree on any girls names though, although we both like Chelsi but worry that it's too similar to Charli.

    Sooo, does Charli & Chelsi sound cute together or just downright ridiculous???

    i think if you reaaalllly want it, you should spell it chelsea, just to differentiate it from charli

    I think they sound very cute...but.... on a practical level it might be a mouthful on a day to day basis. I have Isabelle and Elizabeth - Belle and Beth and I'm always stumbling over each one!

    My kids are Lily and Liam... I thought it would be too similar, but it's not really. Do what you think you should. If like them together, don't worry!

    for siblings I think too similar,, if it was cousins then I would say fine..

    but they are very nice names.. and they do sound cute together.. but I personally would spell Chelsi ==== Chelsea

    I don't think they're too close though I agree it would be better to spell Chelsea that way. I sort of want to steer away from M names for our next one yet think of them all the time and think they sound cute together.

    Hmm, point taken on the spelling. Chelsea IS probably a better way of spelling it.

    We do like Olivia as well but I worry that Charli and Olivia are too different because Charli is quite a casual funky name and Olivia we think is more sophisticated. Do you think this would matter?

    I think its a little close mate - but if you really like it - you should go for it. I've never let anyone tell me what to name my kids!!!!!

    Charli and Chelsi are too close, but Charli and Chelsea aren't.

    I think Olivia is fine with Charli- siblings' names don't have to 'match' in my opinion. If Olivia sounds too formal next to Charli, what about using Olive instead? I think it's cute and a little bit more casual sounding.

    i go with the rule of thumb that if you like then what does it matter what other ppl think.
    all my kids names end with a ee sound and i dont care what ppl think i like it and both my boys have names starting with j ending with ee sounds.

    To me the spelling of Chelsi doesn't look complete. I think it goes really well with Charli though so I would just spell it the traditional way...

    Chelsea

    I also like the alternative to Olivia which is Olive... sooo cute!!

    Charli and Olive

    I like Olivia.
    I only know one Chelsey and she spells it like that.

    I ABO****ELY love Charli (because it's my daughter's name too). We're also currently pregnant, and our name for our next bub, if it's a girl, is Chloe... so I guess you could say that Charli and Chloe are too similar, but I love them both, so I don't care.

    I think Charli and Chelsi are very cute together! Olivia's gorgeous too. And Brock for a boy is really cool (we're thinking Conrad if our's is a boy)! Goodluck with your pregnancy!!

    I think its ok, but I would spell Chelsie like that- with an extra 'e' (if you prefer it to the Chelsea version), so that it looks different when next to Charli.
    I think they will complement each other better if they look slightly different on paper.
