[name_u]Morgan[/name_u] and [name_f]Madeline[/name_f]- are they too close-sounding to be sisters? My other thought was [name_u]Morgan[/name_u] and [name_f]Molly[/name_f]? The two M’s are unintentional.
[name_u]Morgan[/name_u] and [name_f]Madeline[/name_f] sounds better because they both wont start with the “[name_u]Mo[/name_u]” sound like [name_f]Molly[/name_f] and [name_u]Morgan[/name_u] do
I don’t mind the sound actually, but I like alliterative sounds. I would assume [name_u]Morgan[/name_u] and [name_f]Madeline[/name_f] would be brother and sisters though, but maybe that’s just me…
I don’t think either of those pairs are too close-sounding.
I don’t think they are too close but too different for sisters in style. Ditto what @svea said.
[name_m]Both[/name_m] [name_u]Morgan[/name_u]/[name_f]Madeline[/name_f] and [name_u]Morgan[/name_u]/[name_f]Molly[/name_f] are too similar for siblings for my comfort level. If you pronounce [name_f]Madeline[/name_f] like “lyn” then it shares the same initial as [name_u]Morgan[/name_u] as well as the “n” sound at the end. The “[name_u]Mo[/name_u]-[name_u]Mo[/name_u]” beginning of [name_u]Morgan[/name_u] and [name_f]Molly[/name_f] bothers me too. The two sets are also different in style. [name_u]Morgan[/name_u] is boyish and unisex whereas [name_f]Madeline[/name_f] and [name_f]Molly[/name_f] are clearly feminine.
I like [name_f]Madeline[/name_f] and [name_f]Molly[/name_f] together - both are old-fashioned and feminine, but on-trend. [name_u]Morgan[/name_u]'s sort of the wild card in there for me, being more masculine and (on a girl) modern.
Of the pairs you suggested, [name_u]Morgan[/name_u] and [name_f]Madeline[/name_f] isn’t too matchy as long as you pronounce the -line like -line, not -[name_u]Lynn[/name_u].
[name_u]Morgan[/name_u] and [name_f]Molly[/name_f] isn’t bad, since the [name_u]Mo[/name_u] sound is different. I’ve seen [name_f]Megan[/name_f] and [name_f]Molly[/name_f] as sister names, and this isn’t so different.
[name_f]Edit[/name_f]: I should probably let you know that I am a [name_f]Molly[/name_f] with a sibling who has an M name ([name_m]Matthew[/name_m]), but it’s never been a problem. But we have two other siblings without M names, which changes things a bit.
I would definitely prefer to see [name_f]Madeline[/name_f] & [name_f]Molly[/name_f] together, than either of the other options you listed. I would definitely assume brother and sister if I saw [name_u]Morgan[/name_u] and [name_f]Molly[/name_f]/[name_f]Madeline[/name_f].
I don’t really care for sibling alliterations so it would be a no go for me.
Neither pairs are too close, but I prefer [name_u]Morgan[/name_u] and [name_f]Madeline[/name_f].
I like [name_u]Morgan[/name_u] and [name_f]Madeline[/name_f] much better than [name_u]Morgan[/name_u] and [name_f]Molly[/name_f]. They aren’t quite as matchy and many people choose to have the same first inital for their kids. I do think that if you decided to go with the M&M theme I’d make sure there were more M names that I liked for girls incase #3 were to come along. (Something like [name_f]Magdalena[/name_f], [name_f]Mirabel[/name_f], [name_f]Merida[/name_f], [name_f]Mariposa[/name_f], etc).
On [name_u]Morgan[/name_u] and [name_f]Madeline[/name_f]: If you told me you had children [name_u]Morgan[/name_u] and [name_f]Madeline[/name_f] I’d assume you have a boy and a girl. A little odd since I only know female Morgans. But, the unisex [name_u]Morgan[/name_u] in this combo does make me think boy. Maybe [name_f]Morgana[/name_f], [name_f]Morgaine[/name_f], or [name_f]Morgane[/name_f] would help to give that little feminine twist to the unisex [name_u]Morgan[/name_u].
Thanks for your input everyone. It seems [name_u]Morgan[/name_u] is a tough name to find a sister name for. Being as many of you suggested using something more “unisex” I was considering [name_f]Audrey[/name_f]. (As I said the "m"s weren’t intentional. Perhaps it would be a better fit. I’m not completely in love with [name_f]Audrey[/name_f] though. I’ll continue my search. I love [name_f]Madeline[/name_f] and [name_f]Molly[/name_f] but [name_u]Morgan[/name_u] is a family surname I really want to use. Thanks for your responses!! It was helpful!
