[name_m]Hi[/name_m] berries!
A lot of my names end in the long ee sound. I’m now getting worried. Obviously I’d never use [name_f]Zoe[/name_f], [name_f]Chloe[/name_f], [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f], & [name_f]Daphne[/name_f] together, but how about [name_f]Zoe[/name_f] and [name_m]Gregory[/name_m]. [name_f]Zoe[/name_f] and [name_m]Dimitri[/name_m]? [name_m]Gregory[/name_m] and [name_m]Dimitri[/name_m]? Too close for siblings? [name_f]Zoe[/name_f] is a family name, so I really want to use it, same with [name_m]Dimitri[/name_m]. I’ve loved [name_m]Gregory[/name_m] for a long time, it is my favorite boys name (and loving boys names is hard for me). So am I just being ridiculous or can I use [name_f]Zoe[/name_f], [name_m]Gregory[/name_m], and [name_m]Dimitri[/name_m] together? Or two of them together? WDYT?
I have other names my list, but these are my favorites and it would be hard to give them up. I’m nowhere near having children, but I want to know for in the future. Thanks!

[name_f]My[/name_f] whole list is in my signature, so if you want to suggest that I use other names as siblings with any of these names, those are my favorites. Thanks again!
Although it’s not ideal, I think they’re all usable as siblings. [name_f]Zoe[/name_f], [name_m]Gregory[/name_m], and [name_m]Dimitri[/name_m] are not as bad to me as a sibset like [name_f]Kaylee[/name_f], [name_f]Hailee[/name_f] and [name_f]Bailee[/name_f]. Firstly, even though they share a prominent “ee” ending, they all sound different enough in the other syllables not to be overly matchy. Also, the spellings are a mixed bad rather than the same letters (e, y and i). I don’t mind them together. [name_m]Even[/name_m] though [name_m]Dimitri[/name_m] is the Russian version, all of the names share an Ancient [name_f]Greet[/name_f] heritage which is wonderful.
I think it’s preference, but if you plan on more than 2 kids, you might end up with an -ee theme or one of the kids is going to feel left out.
I think it is fine. I agree with everything mischa said
Thanks for the support!
@mischa- I agree, since they end with different letters, it should be okay. I definitely love that they all have the ancient Greek connection. I think it can work.
@catloverd- it is definitely a preference. I’m not sure about the other sibling feeling left out. [name_m]Both[/name_m] of my mom and her two sisters names rhyme (one goes by [name_f]Annie[/name_f], the other is N1kki, and my mom is D@phne) and their other two siblings names don’t rhyme, and none of them felt left out. I think namenerds think they would be left out, but in reality, most kids don’t care if their names are different than their siblings (unless it is too out there, like one sibling named [name_f]Mary[/name_f] and the other named Sparkle).
Thanks guys!
I have a friend named [name_f]Zoe[/name_f] and he dad is greek - his name is [name_m]Dimitri[/name_m] (not sure what spelling). I think [name_f]Zoe[/name_f] and [name_m]Dimitri[/name_m] go well together because they sound fresh and worldly. I don’t think that [name_m]Gregory[/name_m] matches at all though! [name_m]Gregory[/name_m] sounds very dated to me, while [name_f]Zoe[/name_f] sounds very young.
