I really like the name Eliana as it seems to suit our surname really well. However our 1 year old niece is Ariana. Even though she has a different surname, I'm worried that the first names are too similar. We see her a few times during the year.
So,
are the names too similar?
would you be miffed if your SIL named their child something similar to your child?
would you expect to be consulted beforehand?
