What are some names that sound very similar to each other, but you have very different opinions on?

For me I really like [name_m]Waylon[/name_m] but hate [name_m]Wayne[/name_m], and love [name_u]Beverly[/name_u] but am not a huge fan of [name_u]Everly[/name_u].

I love [name_f]Bernadette[/name_f], but feel meh on [name_f]Bernice[/name_f]
I’m a fan of [name_m]Wilfred[/name_m] but not [name_u]William[/name_u] or [name_m]Alfred[/name_m]
I think [name_f]Louisa[/name_f] is great but [name_u]Louise[/name_u] is sort of bland

Funny the difference a few letters can make!

For me:

  • [name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_u]Jem[/name_u], enjoy [name_u]Jemison[/name_u], don’t mind [name_u]Jameson[/name_u], but despise [name_u]James[/name_u] :person_shrugging:
  • [name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_f]Amelie[/name_f], don’t like [name_f]Amelia[/name_f]
  • Enjoy [name_f]Sophie[/name_f], feel meh on [name_f]Sophia[/name_f] (despite [name_f]Sophie[/name_f] actually being more popular where I live!)
  • [name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_u]Winter[/name_u] and [name_f]Winona[/name_f] but dislike [name_f]Winifred[/name_f] and [name_f]Winnie[/name_f]
  • [name_u]Love[/name_u] Quincey/Quincy, a bit meh on [name_u]Quinn[/name_u]

  • I like [name_f]Clara[/name_f], but not [name_f]Claire[/name_f].
  • I like [name_f]Belphoebe[/name_f], but seemingly not Belle/Bella or [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f].

I could only think of these at the moment but there are probably more!

  • Really like [name_f]Belle[/name_f] / [name_f]Bella[/name_f] or [name_f]Annabella[/name_f], not too fond of [name_f]Isabella[/name_f] or [name_f]Arabella[/name_f] .
  • Not crazy on [name_f]Emma[/name_f] or [name_f]Emily[/name_f], really like [name_f]Emilia[/name_f].
  • Like [name_f]Tess[/name_f], [name_f]Tessa[/name_f] not as much.
  • Like [name_f]Gwen[/name_f], dislike [name_f]Gwendolyn[/name_f] / [name_f]Gwendolen[/name_f].
  • [name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] but I feel like [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] is overrated.
  • [name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_f]Selene[/name_f] / [name_f]Selena[/name_f] but I’m not crazy about the [name_f]Celine[/name_f] spelling.
  • [name_f]Margot[/name_f] has really grown on me but the [name_f]Margo[/name_f] spelling feels like its missing something.
  • Like [name_f]Ava[/name_f], dislike [name_u]Avery[/name_u] or [name_f]Audrey[/name_f].
  • Like [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] but [name_f]Mathilda[/name_f] feels too cluttered (don’t hate it though).
  • [name_f]Ingrid[/name_f] is one of my favourite names but I don’t understand the hype behind [name_f]Astrid[/name_f] (despite their similarities).
  • Like [name_u]Camille[/name_u], don’t like [name_f]Camila[/name_f] / [name_f]Camilla[/name_f] .
  • Like [name_f]Eliza[/name_f] / [name_f]Elise[/name_f] but not crazy about [name_f]Elsie[/name_f].
