They have different nicknames, though </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-give-your-lo-a-name-similar-to-you-or-your-sos-name#post-773716 Fri, 10 May 2013 14:24:15 +0000 Bookish 773716@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did on accident! My name is Jennifer, and LO's name is going to be Gwendolyn. So at first thought, not so similar, but then when you go by nicknames.... Jen &amp; Gwen. Oh well! :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-give-your-lo-a-name-similar-to-you-or-your-sos-name#post-773711 Fri, 10 May 2013 14:23:24 +0000 MrsKoala 773711@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If I liked the name but it was close to my SO's, I'd still use it! Why not? I think Alice sounds great with Alex and Ashley! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-give-your-lo-a-name-similar-to-you-or-your-sos-name#post-773684 Fri, 10 May 2013 14:14:25 +0000 twodoghouse 773684@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is all hypothetical since I'm not pregnant, but my husband and I are always going round and round with baby names. We have pretty different styles, especially for girls. We have recently agreed on a name that we both really like - Alice. The only problem is that my husband's name is Alex... Alice and Alex? They sound like almost the same name! </p> <p>On top of that, my name is Ashley. So that's just a lot of A names. (And my brother-in-law's name is Allen!). But, the more I think about it, the more I think it doesn't really matter and if we like the name, who cares if it sounds like Alex? Is that really weird? Would you ever choose a name that sounds a lot like your own, or your SO's? </p>
