I don’t think so! Pretty much every branch of my family has [name_f]Nora[/name_f] and [name_f]Helen[/name_f] as a sibset (Irish American). I think you made a lovely pair with your variations. PS one of the names I’m considering for future DD2 matches my current DD in meaning, ie: raven haired. It is a way to link the sisters without being phonetically matchy (read: obnoxious, lol)

[name_f]Eleanora[/name_f] and [name_f]Helena[/name_f] are lovely, but unfortunately I think they are too close to be sisters.

Any other input?

The other name I really like is “[name_f]Margaretta[/name_f]” nn [name_f]Gretta[/name_f].

[name_f]Eleanora[/name_f] and [name_f]Helena[/name_f] are much too similar for sisters. [name_f]Eleanora[/name_f] and [name_f]Margaretta[/name_f] would be amazing for sisters. They’re both so elegant!
