Maeve and Ava...too close?

I am really starting to love the name [name_f]Maeve[/name_f], but I’m afraid it’s too close to another name I like, [name_f]Ava[/name_f]. What do you guys think?

Naming actual children, I would say only use one or the other. Too close for siblings imo.

Too close for sisters, but they’re both lovely.

For me they’re too close, sorry, but you probably could get away with it. [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] and [name_f]Eva[/name_f] or [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] and [name_f]Aviva[/name_f] might work

Too close for sisters, but you could have one as a middle name?

Looks like I’m in the minority, but I think it could work. “[name_f]Ava[/name_f] and [name_f]Maeve[/name_f]” sounds great together [name_f]IMO[/name_f]. Both are lovely names, especially [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] ([name_f]Maeve[/name_f] has been one of my all-time favorites forever!)

It is matchy matchy but if you love the names go with it.
The thing is [name_f]Ava[/name_f] will probably end up being called ‘[name_f]Ave[/name_f]’ so it’s [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] and [name_f]Ave[/name_f] lol and you’ll probably accidentally mess up their names, but all parents do. I have a brother and my mom calls me his name sometimes :joy:, so I really don’t think it’s a big deal.

[name_f]Ava[/name_f] and [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] are quite similar. But they may work if you chose one for a child’s first name and the other for another child’s middle name.

I do think they’re too similar to use both. That being said, if you enjoy them equally, have you considered the name [name_f]Maeva[/name_f]?

My first thought was it sounds like my son’s favourite youtube channel - [name_m]Dave[/name_m] & [name_f]Ava[/name_f]. Funnily enough [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] & [name_f]Ava[/name_f] doesn’t sound quite right but [name_f]Ava[/name_f] and [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] sounds ok. I personally wouldn’t use them together both but if you love them go for it (perhaps use [name_f]Ava[/name_f] for the eldest so when they’re both in trouble that’s the one you’ll yell out first :D).

They’re both lovely names, but I think that they’re too close in sound for sisters.

That “a” sound is very strong in both. Probably too close. I prefer [name_f]Ava[/name_f] for the record. Always loved that name. [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] is a bit outre, and will be misprounced too, if that matters.

I think they are too similar for siblings but I love both names.

For me they’re far too similar in sound to use as sisters…

Too close to use as first names for siblings. Maybe using one as a middle and one as a first would work.

Another vote for too similar for sisters.
