I have a daughter named [name_f]Eliana[/name_f] (mostly called [name_u]Elia[/name_u]) and my husband and I are having a hard time agreeing on a name for our second.
We both really love [name_f]Evelina[/name_f] (nn [name_f]Evie[/name_f] or [name_f]Lina[/name_f]) but now I’m starting to think it may be too similar. At first I thought they just sounded nice together and the nicknames would be very different, but now I’m second guessing everything of course.
What does everyone think? Thank you!
You are right they are both similar, but I think they are not too similar that their names will be mixed up or you won’t potentially be able to find a name for a third child, I think they flow nicely with each other, following a similar flow without being matchy matchy (e.g [name_f]Eliana[/name_f] and [name_f]Elodie[/name_f] or [name_f]Eliana[/name_f] and [name_u]Ellison[/name_u], which all could easily be nicknamed “[name_u]Elia[/name_u]”) plus [name_u]Elia[/name_u] and [name_f]Evie[/name_f] sound great together 
If that is the name you both love I say go for it. Goodluck.
I think work just fine together!
I agree with pp, they’re similar but not too similar. [name_u]Elia[/name_u] and [name_f]Evie[/name_f] would be too cute I wouldn’t use [name_f]Lina[/name_f] because it shares a prominent sound with [name_u]Elia[/name_u], which could end up being confusing.
They’re too similar for my personal taste to use as siblings. But apart from that I don’t think people would get them confused or think it’s ridiculous. So you could use them together, but personally I’d look for an alternative.
I think the nicknames sound great together but the full names are too close for me. You could look for something else that would get you to the nickname of [name_f]Evie[/name_f], like [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u]?
Thanks for all the opinions so far! I really do love them together so I think I just need to think on it some more…or else find something we both love even more. I’m not a big fan of [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] and the only other name we can agree on is [name_u]Avery[/name_u], but it’s just so popular right now.
[name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] and [name_u]Avery[/name_u] are both very popular right now, and I agree that [name_f]Evelina[/name_f] is prettier.
To answer your question, no, I don’t think [name_f]Evelina[/name_f] and [name_f]Eliana[/name_f] are too similar to use for siblings. Honestly, people use far more matchy sibling names all the time so it’s really just a matter of personal taste! For my part, I think they make a great sibset! ”
