But the pronunciation is different, no?
Lynette has the stress on the second syllable, at least where I'm from. While
Linnet has it on the first syllable. Plus, the little bird is spelled "linnet" to match "mavis," another little bird. That's why I wondered if they would be cutesy together. Two birds. See? :-)
If I saw Nightingale and
Sparrow, or
Dove and
Lark in a sibling set then I would definitely think that was over the top. But I'm hoping
Mavis and
Linnet would be less obvious, at least to the general public.
Ah, well.
I'm glad you like them together any way you spell it. :-)
