Are these boy names too similar?

My two favorite boy names right now are [name]Cassius[/name] and [name]Finnian[/name]. I absolutely adore them! But the more I see them together, the more similar they look. I think it’s the double consonants in the middle. Does anyone have any insight or advice to fix it? Thanks!
Oh! Also, any middle name suggestions would be great! I’m leaning towards the family name Wolford for one, but haven’t decided yet.

ps. not having kids any time soon, but I’m a planner, I like to organize :slight_smile:
these are just hypothetical S#1/S#2 or twin names.

I think they are cute together. Similar, but different enough to not be too matchy matchy. Different sounds :slight_smile:

[name]Cassius[/name] and [name]Fintan[/name]
[name]Cassio[/name] and [name]Fiorenzo[/name]
[name]Cassian[/name] and [name]Phineas[/name]
[name]Finnbarr[/name] and [name]Casimir[/name]

[name]Cassiopeia[/name] and [name]Finnegan[/name] (g/b)
[name]Cassia[/name] and [name]Fionn[/name] (g/b)

Use the [name]Finian[/name] spelling,no double letters and it is shorter than [name]Cassius[/name].

I think they sound fine together. They have similar letters in the names, but are not pronounced similarly. So for me, its not a problem.

The sounds are completely different so I think they work!

I think they’d work together just fine. The sounds are very different, and the ‘vibe’ is also quite different ([name]Finnian[/name] feels like someone laid-back/relaxed/friendly, [name]Cassius[/name] feels strong/active/a bit serious). [name]Both[/name] are very solid name choices.

The only similarity I see is the double letter in the middle. I don’t think they’re overly match and they seem similar in style to me.
