Our top pick for a girl is [name]Claire[/name], and [name]Meredith[/name] has slowly been moving up on our list as well. Today I realized they are rhyming in sound. ([name]Clair[/name] and [name]Maire[/name]) I don’t plan on using Mer as a nickname, but I would like to use [name]Mera[/name]. Are these two names too close in your opinion? I am quite saddened, if they are, I was really liking [name]Meredith[/name] as a first name.
No, I think they would make lovely sibling names.
Not at all, I love them together.
No they are both gorgeous, they don’t sound alike at all. [name]Meredith[/name] is my middle name, and it’s hardly ever shortened. I have also known other women named [name]Meredith[/name] and they are simply called [name]Meredith[/name]. 
I think [name]Claire[/name] and [name]Meredith[/name] are fine together.
Not at all!
I don’t think they sound too close, at all. I think they’d be nice together.
I think they go well together too. Since [name]Meredith[/name] has 3 syllables to [name]Claire[/name]'s 1, They don’t sound matchy to me at all, but they do go nicely together. The same thing goes for [name]Claire[/name] & [name]Mera[/name]. Since you like the names so much I’d say go for it!
Thanks for the input everyone! I’m glad all responses were positive towards them working together!
I think they’re great together! My name is [name]Claire[/name], and I am considering [name]Meredith[/name] and ([name]Vera[/name]…prn Vair-uh) for a daughter one day, so I definitely don’t think they’re too close/matchey with [name]Claire[/name].
