Rhyming sisters

So my two little girls names rhyme -- both end in "lyn"... cute or not cute? We really love the names, and actually like that they rhyme, but I'm curious what others think?

Cute or not cute?

I vote option #3 - too cute. Not really my style.

In general, I'm not a huge fan of any name that ends in -lyn so I wouldn't be having two of them.  I like the name Lynn on its own.

Might be a bit too cutesy, but if you really like both names, who cares?

in general I don't like the idea, but I think it might depend on the name so its hard to say without knowing the names.

This.  What are the names?  What about just doing the name without the -lyn ending?  I guess I'm thinking like Kate instead of Katelyn.

I agree with the others.  I don't really like names that rhyme.

Not a fan at all.

I've removed names from my list due to rhyming or sounding to similar to DS's name. Iris, Alice, and Amos for example. 


I'm getting so big!

I just want to give you a world as beautiful as you are to me.

Do the actually rhyme (Sara, Clara) or do they just end the same (Kaitlyn, Evelyn)?

One of my friends has an Addelyn and a Caelyn...the go together without rhyming so I like it (not a huge fan of the names but I like the flow).  BUT, if they actually rhyme that is a little strange to me.

This is something I would do.  BUT if you were going to have a third, I would feel the need to match it with the lyn ending.  So if you cannot match it, then I would stay away from it.  I love using the same letters for example Elizabeth and Emily as sisters, but if you had a third you have to continue with the E trend.  In my books, same goes for the rhyming trend.

I don't mind the matching as long as you love both names and chose them for a reason, and not so they'd rhyme.

My DDs are Mary and Martha [obviously both start with the same 3 letters] after their greatgrandmothers. We call DD1 Addie [nn from her middle name Adeline] and DD2 Martha Rose. The names are important family names.

With all that said, I don't feel that I have to use another Mar name if we should have a 3rd DD. We do plan to keep using family names though.

Depends on if the names are different enough ... i dont think there are issues with the names like Brookelyn and Madelyn but there are if they are too similar like Madelyn and Adelyn

Bad.

I'm just now realizing how many of my girl names are now off the list because they would rhyme with DS's normal nickname.
