Adrian too close to Julian?

[name_m]Adrian[/name_m] is a name that I cannot get out of my mind, but more often than not, I feel like it is too close to one of my other favorite names, [name_m]Julian[/name_m]. Can these two name be used as brothers or are they too similar to each other?

Too similar

You could use [name_m]Adrian[/name_m] and [name_u]Jules[/name_u] instead.
Or [name_u]Aidan[/name_u] and [name_m]Julian[/name_m]

I know brothers named Adrián and [name_u]Juli[/name_u]án (with the spanish pronunciation) so to me, [name_m]Adrian[/name_m] and [name_m]Julian[/name_m] are natural siblings hahaha

This makes me so happy that you actually know a sibset with [name_m]Adrian[/name_m] and [name_m]Julian[/name_m]!

Would [name_u]Theo[/name_u] be a good fit into the sibset to break up the -ians at the end of the other two names?

I think they sound totally fine together! I love both names individually, and even though that have similar endings, a lot of boy’s names end in the “an” sound so I don’t think it’s an issue. [name_u]Theo[/name_u] might be a little intense as a departure from the other two but it works. [name_m]Adrian[/name_m], [name_m]Julian[/name_m], and [name_u]Theo[/name_u] sound fine in my opinion.

I think they’re both lovely names and don’t sound too matchy together!
