Sibset too product/label-y?

I see a lot of kids clothing lines or products with names like this.  Usually written out in lowercase with a plus sign.  Something like stella + sam

Wondering if you think it sounds like we're selling something if our 2U2 little ones went by :

Luca and Livia

Luca is my DS and Livia is in our top 5 for DD.

Livia is an old Roman name and yes, I realize some people might think we forgot the O.  Just more curious about the sibset sound...

Thanks!

I loooooooooooove Livia.

I think avoiding alliteration would help to alieve the store name issue.

The alliteration would bother me personally, but I wouldn't worry about sounding like a  baby boutique.

Postscript:

I completely made up stella + sam, then googled it to perfectly find

Stella and Sam is a preschool television series based on the Canadian book series "Stella" and "Sam" by Marie-Louise Gay

This is exactly why I posted the question.

Yeah, my DH really likes Livia but the alliteration is what is bothering him.

Not only are the names alliterative, they both end in "a." Too cutesy for me. Love them separately, though!

Well, the brand is Livie + Luca so no, I think it goes fine together as a sibset and wouldn't worry about the brand.

The alliteration would bother me as well, but if its a name you and H both have ranked high, go for it.  But I do get where you are coming from as far as it sounding like a baby boutique or like another brand similar to aden and anais.

First, I love both of these names! 

They are too matchy for me personally, but I don't think of a label. I'm just not a fan of the alliteration. But I don't side-eye other people for it, unless it gets really bad (like pp's Duggar reference). So I guess it comes down to whether the alliteration really bugs you, and whether you're planning to stop at two kids; if you have a 3rd, will you feel it needs to match? That would be too much for me, but it also might be a little odd to have two names that are so close and then a third name that isn't (although that would still be better than 3 matching ones, IMO!).

I really like both names, but they are a bit matchy. I don't think it's worth a side eye though.

Oh my goodness, I love Livia.  I get so annoyed when people say it sounds like a uneek version of Olivia.  I think it's fine with Luca.  I mean, maybe it sounds like a baby boutique, but there are worse things, like two names that go together but are intolerably bad as names.

I have two C names for mine so the alliteration doesn't bother me. Livia just doesn't sound complete to me though as a whole name.

Personally, alliteration with names does not bother me in the least. I was actually surprised how many are against it on this board. I think it's cute and I like both names :)

Normally I would say they're perfect together, but there's a fairly popular kids' shoe brand called Livie & Luca. So if you're worried about them sounding like a brand... yeah, they would.

I think it's lovely but if you plan to have a third, would you want an L name as well? If not, maybe they would feel left out that the first two match and their's didn't? You might be locking yourself into a lifetime of L names!
