Are these names too alike for sisters?

Okay so it's not confirmed yet but we're pretty sure Number 3 is another little girl.

DH and I choose names fairly instinctively, we throw names around until we get the one that "feels" right. This has been quite an interesting method because we have wound up with names that we love but would never have thought that we would have chosen. DH tends to be more picky and conservative than me but we always give each other "right of veto" over the other's suggestions...if we don't both love the name then it's not the name.

So we have chosen our name for our potential DD2 - Chloe. But DD1's name is Sophie.

I am surprised at how much I like Chloe (and Sophie for that matter) - but they just feel perfect.

Do you think Sophie and Chloe sound a bit too....rhyming? Kinda like Ben and Ken, Trista and Krista sort of thing??

I don't think so... thumbs up from me :)

No, I don't think they are too similar. They are both beautiful.

Practice saying the names together and apart. See if you get them confused, and that might help you decide.

I think they are gorgeous!!!!

Go for it

theyre similair but not in a krista trista way. i like it :)

i dont think they are too similar. its only the ee sound on the end thats the same, rather than just one letter being different!
I think they are beautfull names.

Not at all! Maybe both slightly 'french' themed but that's nice. I was expecting to see Hayley and Kaylee or something ;) PS - Beautiful names too.

Both beautiful names, but do say them out loud together a few times.

I'm forever tripping over Isabelle and Elizabeth! It might be because the are both longish names.

I think they are great together. My girls are Olivia and Rebecca...kind of similar...ends with "a" and I am Melissa...all unintentional, but all sound good together.

Perfect! I know a Chloe and Sophie as sisters and never thought they were too alike!

Chloe and Zoe on the other hand... :lol:

I've said Sophie and Chloe 10 times backwards and forwards and I reckon it will work beautifully!

LOL thanks Lulu!

Thanks so much girls, just needed to bounce it off some impartial "ears"!

I think they work very well together, i would say they compliment each other nicely.
I also said them aloud and no mix ups!

I don't think that they are too similar. I think they sound nice together.

I think they sound lovely together, really complimentary. I have good friends called chloe and sophie, and they're names usually just get shortened to chlo and soph, which don't sound similar at all :)

I like them, not too close at all :)

I think they're great together! Go for it !

No i think they are great!

I think they are both gorgeous names and go really well together :)

I was only telling my DP yesterday whilst sitting in a food court sucking on our cold drinks looking at a shop selling perfumes near by that had lots of boxes of Chloe parfum sitting on the counter, telling him that i remember how Chloe the name suddenly became popular as a name, i years ago saw an interview of Olivia Newton-John mentioning that she named her DD after the Chloe parfum ... (anyway, a bit of trivia there :D)

Sophie and Chloe sounds just GORGEOUS together :loveshower:

I think they sound perfect together and both beautiful names. I have an Emma and love Anna for a potential future DDs name but that is too close lol

I knew a family with 3 girls: Molly, Sophie and Chloe. I thought the names were all suited to the one family. Very sweet names! :)

No they are not close....
My friend has Kasey and Kerry.....
I have Brydie and Rylee lol....

They go well together...

Love both those names, not rhyming at all,go for it I say :)

Nope, I think they're fine :)

they are fine together, if unsure go ou the back and give them a yell ( for when your telling them to hurry up at the shops ;) )


see they sound fine...


I named my DS Zayden, and then 3 years latter had DD called her Mayleaka, what you ask is ryming about those to names...

we along with everyone else shorten them to Zay and May... I must look a complet nutter screaming out Zay and May May and Zay all the time...

When I had my 3rd ( DD2) we call her Kailaia, BHL said he like Kaylaia better but there was no way on God green earth I was going to be screaming out Zay May and Kay!

gorgeous names ;) i have sophie and millie

I have a Maria and Sofia and though they rhyme and it can be confusing I wouldn't change their names for anything

I Like them too, Sounds perfect together :)

They are perfect together!

Chloe and Zoe on the other hand... :lol:

That just reminded me, I knew sisters called Zoe and Chloe... I still can't remember which was which...

Sophie and Chloe though, I like them together :)

I think they sound great together!! Beautiful names :D

I think they are both lovely names and go really well together.

If we get a girl this time round she will be named Sophie, and if we ever get a 2nd she would be named Cleo!
