Madeline, too close to brother Miles?

[name_u]Baby[/name_u]'s due in 8 weeks and I think we have it down to two (with a few back ups). Big brother is [name_m]Miles[/name_m], and our choices are [name_f]Annabel[/name_f] & [name_f]Madeline[/name_f]. My question is, before I fall too hard for [name_f]Madeline[/name_f] - do [name_m]Miles[/name_m] & [name_f]Madeline[/name_f] sound too matchy for siblings? Dad is another M name, [name_u]Michael[/name_u]. Never thought I would be the parent with matchy family names!

I love both [name_f]Annabel[/name_f] and [name_f]Madeline[/name_f], but I do think [name_f]Madeline[/name_f] and [name_m]Miles[/name_m] is a bit on the matchy side. [name_f]Annabel[/name_f] and [name_m]Miles[/name_m] would make a great sibset imo!

I don’t think [name_f]Madeline[/name_f] and [name_m]Miles[/name_m] are too matchy.
Consider when they are grown up, no one will care if they have a sibling starting with the same letter :slight_smile:

Not too matchy at all. The only thing that matchy imo is the first letter and lots of families do that on purpose. Not a big deal, I think [name_f]Madeline[/name_f] and [name_m]Miles[/name_m] are quite lovely together.

I think [name_m]Miles[/name_m] and [name_f]Madeline[/name_f] are cute together! Definitely not too matchy. I much prefer [name_f]Madeline[/name_f] to [name_f]Annabel[/name_f].

I think they sound good together! Besides, if you have a third child, you can always break the tradition. :slight_smile:

My boys’ names both start with D, but they go by nicknames with different first letters.

I don’t think they are too close. They sound good together :slight_smile:

They sound great together; go for it!

Most of us are attracted to particular sounds in a name, so many alliterated sib sets aren’t planned. They just sort of “happen,” as families choose names they love. I know that’s what happened in my birth family.
[name_f]Do[/name_f] you plan to have more children one day? Would you feel compelled to continue with M names, if you choose [name_f]Madeline[/name_f]? There is no right or wrong. [name_m]Just[/name_m] a question for you to ponder.
I prefer [name_f]Annabel[/name_f] with [name_m]Miles[/name_m]. But both names are pretty! Follow your heart!

I think [name_m]Miles[/name_m] and [name_f]Madeline[/name_f] are perfect for siblings. [name_u]Love[/name_u] it!
