We are expecting our second and haven’t narrowed down a girl named yet. Our son is [name_u]Elias[/name_u] and we both really love the name [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f]. But I feel like it might be weird to name them both “E-L” names if you know what I mean.
The other names are
[name_f]Annika[/name_f]
[name_f]Mira[/name_f]
[name_f]Ottille[/name_f]
I also love the name [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f], but I wouldn’t use it with [name_u]Elias[/name_u]. They both at times might be shortened by friends/family to [name_m]Eli[/name_m] and [name_f]Ellie[/name_f], and I think those are too close.
On the other hand, I don’t think [name_f]Annika[/name_f] and [name_f]Ottille[/name_f] sound like sisters of [name_u]Elias[/name_u]. [name_f]Mira[/name_f] is definitely the most similar in style, and [name_u]Elias[/name_u] and [name_f]Mira[/name_f] sound cute together!
I don’t think they are too matchy. Shortening [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] to [name_f]Nora[/name_f] would also clear up confusion. If your wanted to keep the same feel as [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f], I suggest [name_f]Leonora[/name_f] or [name_f]Leonore[/name_f]. They are similar, but without the “[name_f]El[/name_f]” beginning.
