Are these names too similiar for sisters

(All hypothetical)
The names on top of my list at the moment are [name_f]Eliza[/name_f] and [name_f]Esma[/name_f] which overtook [name_f]Selena[/name_f] slightly at the moment as I don’t feel like it flows as well with [name_f]Eliza[/name_f]. However when saying them out loud do they appear to be similiar? Which pair works best for a sibset [name_f]Eliza[/name_f] and [name_f]Esma[/name_f] [name_u]Or[/name_u] [name_f]Eliza[/name_f] and [name_f]Selena[/name_f]?

[name_f]Eliza[/name_f] and [name_f]Esma[/name_f] are certainly matchy, but I don’t think they’re too close for sisters. That said, I do prefer [name_f]Eliza[/name_f] and [name_f]Selena[/name_f] for more variety in sound.

I love [name_f]Eliza[/name_f] and [name_f]Selena[/name_f] together :relaxed:

[name_f]Esma[/name_f] and [name_f]Eliza[/name_f] aren’t too similar for siblings but I would personally not use them together

I initially liked [name_f]Eliza[/name_f] and [name_f]Selena[/name_f] together but then I thought they gave off completely different vibes so this is reassuring. [name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_f]Esma[/name_f] on its own but not sure on whetherr I could find a sibling name that matches and I don’t want to let it go of it just yet but if I never use it I’ll just suggest it to other relatives in the hope of it being used :joy: :rofl:

Reassuring that others think that [name_f]Eliza[/name_f] and [name_f]Selena[/name_f] flow as there was a time period that I was doubting my combination :grin:

To me they both read as elegant, sleek and ladylike but with strength too! They wouldn’t be out of place in an [name_u]Austen[/name_u] novel but still feel fresh and contemporary. I imagine [name_f]Eliza[/name_f] and [name_f]Selena[/name_f] would be a charming, effortlessly cool, very close pair of sisters.

Much prefer [name_f]Eliza[/name_f] & [name_f]Selena[/name_f]. “Esma” reminds me of “asthma”, and it’s very close to [name_f]Eliza[/name_f].

I actually find [name_f]Selena[/name_f] and [name_f]Eliza[/name_f] more tongue-twistery than [name_f]Esma[/name_f] and [name_f]Eliza[/name_f]! They look similar but their sounds are distinct enough - maybe [name_u]Esme[/name_u] as a compromise?

[name_u]Esme[/name_u] would have been used above [name_f]Esma[/name_f] and was on my original list until I was reading the list out loud in both languages I speak and noticed how names ending in “e” for girls usually sound terrible in my 2nd language as they tend to be treated as silent.

Never paid enough attention to that issue and it wouldn’t put me off as I usually speak my 2nd language at home so it would be pronounced differently but still prefer my original suggestion I think.

I think [name_f]Eliza[/name_f] and [name_f]Selena[/name_f] sound nicer together, and are more stylistically matched! That said, I do think [name_f]Esma[/name_f] could work.

Loved [name_f]Esma[/name_f] when I first heard it and it keeps growingon and off,I don’t know how to pair it so I thought I’d try this combo but I love [name_f]Selena[/name_f] and [name_f]Eliza[/name_f] :honeybee:

I think they do sound quite similar, but the main issue is how much [name_f]Esma[/name_f] sounds like asthma. I think [name_f]Eliza[/name_f] and [name_f]Selena[/name_f] are better together

I prefer [name_f]Eliza[/name_f] and [name_f]Selena[/name_f] . I think if you don’t think the set is cohesive you could change the spelling

[name_f]Eliza[/name_f] and [name_f]Celina[/name_f]
