Husband and I are TTC and upon discussing baby names, we both really love [name_u]Owen[/name_u] for a boy and [name_u]Zoe[/name_u] for a girl. We do want more than one child, so thinking long-term here with a potential boy and girl.
[name_f]My[/name_f] concern is that they may sound similar with the long “O” sound and have similar nicknames (O and Zo). I really do not like matchy sibling names but love both of these separately. If we use, say, [name_u]Owen[/name_u] first, would that make [name_u]Zoe[/name_u] unusable for the future?
Any other name suggestions with similar vibes for either?

I think they work together! They maybe sound a biiit similar, but not too similar by any means. Maybe with the nicknames, but I’ve personally never known an [name_u]Owen[/name_u] who went by O as his nickname!

They’re not too close at all, you’re fine.
I think you can use them both! They’re not entirely stylistically matching to me but the long O/e thing doesn’t bother me at all (and I think your fave individual names is more important than “perfect” sibset). I like both names, especially Zoe which is both established and spunky/sparkly!
Other names, names like Zoe:
Zara
Chloe
Mia
Ella
Cleo
Dillon
Ruby
Zella
Flora
Sadie
Phoebe
Daphne
Rose
Vera
Iris
Gemma
Tess
Romy
Names like Owen:
Ethan
Oliver
Henry
Leo
Thomas
Lucas
Emrys
Connor
Patrick
Jack
Austin
Rory
Logan
Toby (or Tobias nn Toby)
Ewen (but I much prefer Owen)
Liam
Wyatt
Rafferty
I think they tie in together nicely.
