Do you think sibling's names should match?

Evie could be short for Evelyn or Evonne.

ive been wondering about this myself a little..

dd is Krystal, for the next bub, i like Zac or Kaylah

i worry that Krystal & Kaylah might be too similar both having 'K'..

I totally think names should match but within reason! So if you have a classic name like Sarah or Emma then to add a name like Coco (which I love BTW!) would be weird for me. That's why I find it hard to think of names for our next kids cause I really want them to match with Mackenzie. I love the name Charlotte but I don't think it suits at all.

Anyway I actually think Evie goes really nicely with your other kids names and it doesn't matter about the shortening of it - the actual style of name suits really nicely!

I think Evie "matches" its a very pretty name btw!

I'm one of three Neville, Chanel & Leighcandice. Our names don't really go together as such but like others have said you get used to them so they sound like they do!

The more you say it, the more it'll seem to just go together!

I think they should match within reason. for example you don't want 2 kids with really 'normal' modern names ( say Carina and Tom) and the mix it up with something a little out there (like Mistaya).

so if one name is a little unusual or different (or very normal) then you should probably continue with the theme. You don't want one child singled out.

But otherwise, it really depends on personal preference. personally I like long names that can be shortened into nicknames. others prefer short names which cann't be shortened any further.

i dont think lenghts as such have a big impact but if they rhyme or have a silly theme i think its strange.
on Dr Phill today there were twin boys on it Taylor & Tyler, i think they could have come up with something a bit more different they already share the same everything else!
and like if u had an Adam & Eve, Romeo, Juliet type deal but Evie is a very pretty name and goes with Gaby & Alex shortened or their full names.

Nixon & Tyron just so happened to be the same length ending in "on" we were going on our initals to match mum & dad and picked the names we liked within that.

having said all that my fav girls name has always been Tylah, if i had a girl now i dont think i could have a Nixon, Tyron & Tylah (2 Ty's)

hey congrats on 16weeks yayyy!!

hi,

i've never posted in here before i was just having a sticky beak around really. But i did nanny a little girl who was gorgeous called Genevieve which they shortented to Evie and Eva depending on what came out- and squeeba when she was having cuddles. I am particularly partial to this name myself. I also think it goes very nicely- Gabriella, Alexander and Genevieve. Good luck x

I would think Krystal and Kaylah too close personaly. Carla might be better? I think two names with the same sylabals that start with the same letter are too similar for siblings. I agree with others that if the name has a similar feel to it, then it works.

I think to an extent yes they do have to match... I have Tiera (pronounced like Kira but with a T) so I wouldn't have another T ... My DH n his siblings are all J's.... Joshua, Jason and Jaimi hmmm not for me
Also I love the name Sienna, but would never have it as its too similar to Tiera (who name gets misprounced regularly, people often say T-air-a, so it just wouldn't work)!
This naming thing is a difficult business... espically when you've already got one!

Good luck
