So…when we named our second daughter, we failed to realize just exactly how similar her name is to her sister’s. Doh! So we have an [name]Elena[/name] (Eh-lay-nah) and a [name]Lael[/name] ([name]Lay[/name]-el, accent on second syllable) and now that we are expecting our third girl, I’m having the toughest time finding a name we both love that fits with the other two, without being too similar. Apparently I am addicted to e’s and l’s. Oh and our girls are blonde haired blue eyed, with a 9 letter, 3-syllable last name that starts with R. Their middle names are really unusual family names. Their cousins are [name]Lucia[/name] and [name]Emery[/name] (more e’s and l’s!) Help?
Names I love that are entirely too similar:
[name]Ellery[/name]
[name]Isla[/name]
[name]Layla[/name]
[name]Elodie[/name]
[name]Lorelai[/name]
Possibly too similar:
[name]Serena[/name]
Avila
[name]Amara[/name]
Possibly too different:
[name]Phoebe[/name]
[name]Margot[/name]
[name]Cozette[/name]
[name]Imogen[/name]
[name]Hope[/name]
[name]Poesy[/name]
Suggestions? I’m 25 weeks along and can’t wait to find a name for this kiddo!
Agree that names like [name]Ellery[/name], [name]Layla[/name], and [name]Elodie[/name] are too similiar. However, [name]Lorelai[/name] could possibly work imo.
[name]Serena[/name] would be great! It is definitely not too similiar to your other two girls. My vote would be with [name]Serena[/name]!
I agree that [name]Serena[/name] would be beautiful with [name]Elena[/name] and [name]Lael[/name]! I also really like [name]Hope[/name]. I feel like it really rounds out your girly sibset.
Good luck!
I think [name]Lorelei[/name] could work, too, but prefer this spelling. I like [name]Serena[/name], too, and don’t find it too similar, at all.
Out of your list I like [name]Ellery[/name] and [name]Isla[/name] the best but I agree they’re much alike, especially [name]Ellery[/name].
I love your daughters names (we have similar taste) [name]Elena[/name] is one of my favourites.

I adoreeeeeeeeeeeeeeee [name]Margot[/name], I think that would be beautiful with [name]Elena[/name] and [name]Lael[/name]. I like [name]Amara[/name] and Avila paired with the sibset as well, but I’m not really in love with either one. So my vote is for [name]Margot[/name]!
I think [name]Isla[/name] or [name]Phoebe[/name] ( or [name]Amara[/name] even) would be a lovely choice for you.
Thanks, everyone! I appreciate the feedback. The names I listed are merely ones that I like, not the only ones I would consider. I am surprised that some of you don’t find [name]Isla[/name] and [name]Elena[/name] to be too similar. I looooooveeee [name]Isla[/name] 
Thanks so much, Morgan6!! My favorites from your list are [name]Zara[/name], [name]Isadora[/name] and [name]Olive[/name].
I would love to hear more suggestions if anyone has any. Thanks!
I think [name]Margot[/name] could work for you, and also [name]Hope[/name].
I think [name]Maeve[/name] would fit in nicely here.
