[name_f]Adah[/name_f] as a sister name for [name_f]Avah[/name_f]? Too close? Im losing my mind trying to think of a different name to replace [name_f]Anaiyah[/name_f] (pronounced Aneya)
Brothers are [name_m]Jacob[/name_m] and [name_u]Noah[/name_u].
If they are sisters, then unfortunately yes. I think it would get confusing often.
What do you think of [name_f]Adele[/name_f]? Adeline/Adalyn? [name_f]Adina[/name_f]?
They are super matchy, but actually sound wise I could see them working.
Mainly because I pronounce the first ‘a’ sound differently. [name_f]Adah[/name_f] I would say ‘aa’ like apple, [name_f]Avah[/name_f] I say ‘aye’ like apricot.
So if the super matchy look doesnt bother you, I think it could work.
I don’t mind names that are somewhat matchy, but I do think [name_f]Adah[/name_f] and [name_f]Avah[/name_f] are just too similar, to the point where it’s less cute and more just cheesy with quite a bit of potential for confusion and mix-ups, sorry! If you like A names for girls, maybe [name_f]Autumn[/name_f], [name_u]Aria[/name_u], [name_f]Ariana[/name_f], [name_f]Acacia[/name_f], [name_f]Athena[/name_f] or [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] could be nice with [name_f]Avah[/name_f]! With [name_m]Jacob[/name_m], [name_u]Noah[/name_u] and [name_f]Avah[/name_f] I’d also recommend [name_f]Belle[/name_f], [name_f]Callie[/name_f], [name_f]Delilah[/name_f], [name_f]Ellie[/name_f], [name_f]Eloise[/name_f], [name_f]Eliza[/name_f], [name_f]Freya[/name_f], [name_f]Fiona[/name_f], [name_u]Frankie[/name_u], [name_f]Georgia[/name_f], [name_f]Iris[/name_f], [name_f]Kaia[/name_f], [name_f]Liv[/name_f], [name_f]Lola[/name_f], [name_f]Louella[/name_f], [name_u]Marlowe[/name_u], [name_f]Olive[/name_f], [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f], [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f], [name_u]Rae[/name_u], [name_f]Tessa[/name_f], [name_f]Thea[/name_f], [name_f]Violet[/name_f].
[name_f]Do[/name_f] you say [name_f]Adah[/name_f] as ‘Ah-duh’ or ‘Ay-duh’ or another way? And [name_f]Avah[/name_f] as ‘Ay-vuh’?
For me, they are too close, but if that first sound is different, it might work.
Instead of [name_f]Anaiyah[/name_f], I’d suggest:
[name_f]Azaria[/name_f] / [name_u]Azariah[/name_u]
[name_f]Zara[/name_f] / [name_f]Zarah[/name_f] / [name_f]Zahra[/name_f]
[name_f]Raya[/name_f]
[name_f]Keziah[/name_f]
[name_f]Iscah[/name_f]
[name_f]Adelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Celia[/name_f]
[name_u]Micaiah[/name_u]
[name_f]Selah[/name_f]
[name_u]Ziah[/name_u]
It is too close imo.
[name_f]Anaya[/name_f]
[name_f]Amaya[/name_f]
[name_f]Abigail[/name_f]
[name_f]Hannah[/name_f]
[name_f]Mayah[/name_f]
[name_f]Chloe[/name_f]
Maybe [name_f]Amara[/name_f]?
[name_m]Way[/name_m] too close. That looks like it would be so confusing, too. Both lovely names, but they don’t suit sisters.
Too close. I’d mix them up every day. How about [name_u]Eden[/name_u]?
[name_f]Adah[/name_f] and [name_f]Avah[/name_f] are too close.
What about [name_u]Aria[/name_u], [name_f]Layla[/name_f], or [name_f]Reyna[/name_f]? They have some of the same sounds as those other names.
In my opinion they are definitely way too close for sisters. What about [name_f]Adira[/name_f]?
Unfortunately, way too close for sisters.
Perhaps you’d like [name_f]Amaya[/name_f] or [name_f]Amira[/name_f]?
Too close.
If you’re in the UK, I think the [name_f]Anaya[/name_f] spelling will get you the pronunciation you want.
I like [name_f]Reyna[/name_f]
Thanks yes im in the UK, so out of [name_f]Anaya[/name_f] and [name_f]Anaiah[/name_f] which do u think sounds more like the “ay” sound in the middle?
Trying to avoid the “eye” sound
Yes, I think those are way too close. What about [name_f]Zara[/name_f]?
First one. I think most people will instinctively say that how you would like it. Keeping it simple is the best bet.
I agree they’re too similar but not because of sound, because there’s only one letter difference between them I see paperwork could be easily confused (at the pediatricians office or school for example). I would pronounce both [name_f]Anaya[/name_f] and [name_f]Anaiah[/name_f] with the “eye” sound but I’m in the US so take that for what it’s worth.
I second [name_u]Eden[/name_u]! [name_u]Or[/name_u] consider
[name_f]Abigail[/name_f]
Mariah/Moriah
[name_f]Leila[/name_f]
Natalia(h)
