Alice + Elise... too similar for middle names?

[Namegames212]

We have a daughter with a middle name “Alice”…now trying to name our next daughter. [name_u]Love[/name_u] “Elise” for a middle name, but are [name_f]Alice[/name_f] and [name_f]Elise[/name_f] too similar, or is it okay because they are middle names?

I think it’s totally fine because they are middle names.

Because they’re middle names, I don’t think the closeness matters!

I think they’d be too similar as firsts, but I don’t think there’s an issue here because they’re just middles! And two gorgeous ones, at that.

Same opinion here!

Agreed!

No problem for middles.

Not a problem at all for middles. I know four sisters who all have the same middle name. I think you’re totally ok here.

I think as middle names it’s fine - actually quite a sweet connection between them:)

[ethelmary]

Fine as middles.

[lehassebrock]

Agreed with above! As middle names I don’t see a problem with them being similar

Unpopular opinion but I think they are too close. For middles I guess it doesn’t matter so its just a personal preference. I would maybe try [name_f]Elisabeth[/name_f] instead.
