We are considering the names [name_u]Arden[/name_u] or [name_f]Adeline[/name_f] for baby girl, and our son is [name_m]Adler[/name_m]. Can you tell we like A names?! [name_f]Do[/name_f] you think they are too close for siblings?
Hm… I think they are too close. [name_m]Adler[/name_m] and [name_f]Adeline[/name_f] are almost definitely too close; [name_m]Adler[/name_m] and [name_u]Arden[/name_u] and not as bad in terms of closeness, but they do make me a bit tongue tied when I say them together.
[name_f]Do[/name_f] you like [name_f]Madeline[/name_f] or [name_f]Caroline[/name_f]? They might not be the right style… there’s also [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] which would fit nicely with [name_m]Adler[/name_m].
To me, [name_u]Arden[/name_u] could work but [name_f]Adeline[/name_f] is too close because the entire first syllable is shared. Other ideas:
[name_u]Avery[/name_u]
[name_f]Aveline[/name_f]
[name_f]Audrey[/name_f]
[name_u]Aubrey[/name_u]
[name_f]Astrid[/name_f]
[name_f]Amelie[/name_f]
[name_f]Adeline[/name_f] is way too close, and [name_u]Arden[/name_u] is a little tongue-twisty.
[name_u]Arden[/name_u] is way, way too close.
I definitely wouldn’t pick [name_f]Adeline[/name_f] either, but at least you wouldn’t get the names mixed up all the time. But I’d only go for [name_f]Adeline[/name_f] if you’re not having any more kids, otherwise the third one would feel left out.
Yes, too close
I think [name_u]Arden[/name_u] and [name_m]Adler[/name_m] sound really good together! A nice set! [name_f]Adeline[/name_f] is too close I think with the ad sound at the beginning of both.
[name_u]Arden[/name_u] fits really well with [name_m]Adler[/name_m], and while the two share four of their five letters, they sound quite different. [name_m]Adler[/name_m] & [name_u]Arden[/name_u] would work well for siblings.
I think that [name_f]Adeline[/name_f], however, is far too close to [name_m]Adler[/name_m] to work for siblings.
[name_u]Arden[/name_u] and [name_m]Adler[/name_m] sound really nice imo! “[name_u]Arden[/name_u] and [name_m]Adler[/name_m]” makes me tongue-tied but “[name_m]Adler[/name_m] and [name_u]Arden[/name_u]” flows easily for me. [name_m]Adler[/name_m] and [name_f]Adeline[/name_f] is too close for me.
I think [name_u]Arden[/name_u] could work but [name_f]Adeline[/name_f] is too close for me.
[name_u]Aspen[/name_u], [name_f]Anya[/name_f], [name_f]Arielle[/name_f], [name_f]Ariana[/name_f], Abeline, [name_f]Amelie[/name_f], [name_f]Avril[/name_f]?
I think [name_u]Arden[/name_u] could work, but [name_f]Adeline[/name_f] is definitely too close.
If you wanted to drop the matching D sound, perhaps you could use [name_f]Arwen[/name_f] instead?
It has a similar meaning as [name_f]Adeline[/name_f], and [name_m]Adler[/name_m] and [name_f]Arwen[/name_f] would make a cute pair!
But I kinda dig [name_m]Adler[/name_m] and [name_u]Arden[/name_u] because they have matching meanings. [name_m]Adler[/name_m] means “eagle”, and [name_u]Arden[/name_u] means “valley of the eagle”, which is super sweet and makes this sibset perfect imo!
Yes I love the matching meanings!
Thanks everyone for the feedback. We had crossed off [name_f]Adeline[/name_f] because it’s so close. I love [name_u]Arden[/name_u], but my husband pointed out that it’s a verb in Spanish and that throws him off. I feel like it’s close but different enough, but also we are planning on having more kids and don’t want to get locked in to matching names. I’m hoping to use it at least in the middle! [name_f]Arwen[/name_f] is a good option!
As much as I adore [name_f]Adeline[/name_f], I think it is too close to [name_m]Adler[/name_m]. [name_m]Adler[/name_m] and [name_u]Arden[/name_u] could work! I think it’s an interesting, spunky sibset. If you’re planning on having more kids, I’d make sure you really love [name_u]Arden[/name_u] though, because if there was a third name that stuck out (not starting with A, sharing similar sounds, or having 5 letters), it might annoy you (or not, it’s really personal taste!).
