Hellobee Boards

I don't think it's a big deal at all if it's the name you'd like. I think if you went with something like Charlie and Carly, that might get a bit too close for me. Our daughter's name is Zoey and one of our girl's names for a second child ends in an "ie" sound. I've also known quite a few people whose kids all either have an "ie" sound at the end of their name or at least have it at the end of their nicknames. I don't want to give out too many names since it'd be obvious who I was talking about but I could give you examples on your wall privately if you'd like. : )

My brother and I both have 3 syllable names that end in IE sound. He has always been called by his single syllable nickname.

My husband's sisters both have 2 syllable names that in N sound. The names are so different they do not sound like they rhyme.

I don't think the names necessarily have to go together in terms of sound. Names that are of a similiar style/ period/ or origin should work nicely together.

I don't think it's a big deal! My siblings and I, DHs siblings and him and all my nieces and nephews don't have matching ending to their names. Actually I can't think off the top of my head any families who have all matching names as far as endings.

All four of my sibs and I have -ie endings. I don't want to share them publically.

Nieces names end in "en"
I like boys names for girls and wanted to name our 2nd Ezra or James (Or Jaymes). But we had a boy!

I think as long as they "work" together it will be fine, ie or not! The 2nd suggestion I made in your other convo about it I think would sound SO good with your DD's name.

Personally i'm REALLY weird about having names end in IE sounds but one be Y and one IE. Like Rosie and Ashley. I like them to "match" more if they have the same sound. Or using Y's and I's, like I wouldn't like Jayme Smith but I do like Jamie Smith. I'm VERY weird and 100% aware

@T.H.O.U.: what style is your daughter's name?

I had a friend Lauren and her sister's name was Stephanie although we called her Stephie. Those were 80s name that went well together. Fresh Prince of Bel Air TV sisters were Ashley and Hillary, the IE sound on the end worked well since the two names had a different number of syllables.

I think that it's fine to have matching names, as long as you're picking the name because you love it, and not just because it matches your other child's name. If you love the name just as much, and it happens to match, awesome!
