Referring her to Nameberry may work. Sometimes threads can be deleted. Individual posts can definitely be deleted by those who wrote them.
When I hear that, I automatically assume she thought “Well, I love [name]Hailee[/name] so I might as well name the other girl Zailee.” Honestly, can you not come up with ANYTHING more creative? They’re essentially the same name!

I don’t think I’m going to say anything to her, I woukldn’t want to hurt her feelings, but lets hope she has a change of heart before they are born!
I feel the same way about rhyming/matchy twin names.
My cousin had twin girls and named them [name]Hayleigh[/name] and [name]Kayleigh[/name], so I know how you feel. I cringe every time I talk about them.
And some people say that when the babies are born, it doesn’t matter what they’re named because everyone will love them so much that they forget how terrible the names are. This was not true for me.
The girls are 7 now and have completely unique personalities, but when I refer to them as a par using their names, it robs them of that individuality for me.
Hehe
I do like [name]Hailee[/name] by sound (not to use, just find it likable), but Zailee definitely sounds like they picked [name]Hailee[/name] and said “hmm, what rhymes with [name]Hailee[/name]… [name]Kailee[/name], Mailee, [name]Bailee[/name], Tailee, Zailee…”
This is exactly what I was going to say!
The name are a over the top but it’s her choice. I think that twins need their own identity. My brothers are twins and they are as different as night and day. They would definitely hate matching names.
I know twins named [name]Alexander[/name] [name]Reese[/name] and [name]Alexandra[/name] [name]Reese[/name]. Personally I think it’s ridiculous. The girl tends to go me [name]Lexi[/name] and is considering legally changing her name to [name]Lexi[/name] when she gets married.
