I have girls [name_f]Ruth[/name_f] ([name_f]Ruthie[/name_f]), [name_f]Mina[/name_f] (pronounced [name_u]Min[/name_u]-UH NOT MEAN-UH) and we are having a third girl. Deciding on a third girl name. Other two girls are named after great grandmothers and this time it is a free for all with name. We were originally thinking [name_f]Esther[/name_f] but I found it a little too common and boring. Tonight my husband thought of the name [name_f]Vera[/name_f] which I really do like! I love that it starts with the letter V and is different. My only hesitation is that [name_f]Mina[/name_f] and [name_f]Vera[/name_f] both end with the A sound. But both very different names. Does it matter? Thoughts?
I think [name_f]Vera[/name_f] is different enough that you can use it. I think it goes well with the other two. [name_f]Esther[/name_f] is cute too, but it sounds biblical next to [name_f]Ruth[/name_f] and then [name_f]Mina[/name_f] is a bit left out. Another suggestion is [name_f]Adela[/name_f] nn [name_f]Della[/name_f].
The ending sounds do not matter as long as they are not too similar overall. [name_f]Vera[/name_f] and [name_f]Mina[/name_f] sound great together.
[name_f]Ruth[/name_f], [name_f]Mina[/name_f], and:

I love your girls’ names! Congrats on your third!
I really like [name_f]Vera[/name_f] with your other girls’ names, and I don’t think it’s too similar to [name_f]Mina[/name_f] at all (and I tend to err on the side of not liking similar-sounding names for siblings).
Similar names (in sound and/or style) to these names – my favorite suggestion for you though is [name_f]Vesta[/name_f], the perfect combo between [name_f]Vera[/name_f] and [name_f]Esther[/name_f]!:

Not too similar at all.
I’m loving those three names together
