Is Lily too close to Maya?

We have chosen the name [name_f]Lily[/name_f] [name_f]Demelza[/name_f] if #3 turns out to be a little girl. But we (especially me) feel like it is somehow a little matchy to the name of our older daughter, [name_f]Maya[/name_f].

They are both 4 letter, 2 syllables and contain an Y. Is this a problem or am I over-thinking it?

I don’t think it’s too close personally.

I don’t think they’re too close at all.

Yes they’re both four letters, but a LOT of names are. Furthermore the ‘y’ functions differently in the two names; in [name_f]Maya[/name_f] the ‘y’ functions like a soft ‘j’, while in [name_f]Lily[/name_f] it functions like an ‘ee’ sound. Totally different!

[name_f]Maya[/name_f] and [name_f]Lily[/name_f] sound great for sisters :slight_smile:

I think they work very well together :wink:

They aren’t alike at all to me - they sound completely different.

They are lovely names together though :slight_smile:

Awww :slight_smile: [name_f]Maya[/name_f] and [name_f]Lily[/name_f] such a beautiful sibset

Not matchy at all but compliment each other so well.

[name_m]How[/name_m] is it matchy?

I think [name_f]Lily[/name_f] and [name_f]Maya[/name_f] are cute for sisters!

[name_f]Maya[/name_f] and [name_f]Lily[/name_f] sound like sisters! The “y” makes different sounds in both names. They are definitely the same style (as is [name_u]Rowan[/name_u]) but they sound like the names of sisters!
As someone else said, don’t overthink it! :slight_smile:

Not too close at all.

I have a sister named [name_f]Maya[/name_f] and a cousin named [name_f]Lily[/name_f] and we’ve never had any problems. I think they’re both beautiful names that go together nicely. Congratulations!

Thanks so much, guys!

They’re not too close at all! I agree with everyone else; they make lovely sisters.
(I just love all of your name choices, by the way!)

You’re over-thinking it :slight_smile:

Awh, no they’re definitely not too close!

[name_f]Maya[/name_f] and [name_f]Lily[/name_f] sound great together. It reminds me of like a not-too-matchy, but complementary twin set =]

Really great choices!

Thanks, everyone! We’re officially down to 2 options for each gender.

I’ll try to keep everyone updated :wink:

Whoops! Forgot to close :slight_smile:
