[Opinions] One of my favs!

We considered it for this baby, and it's on the list for any sisters. (Though we like Daphne a teeny bit more, and don't think we could have a Phoebe and a Daphne...)

Phoebe and Daphne

Why not? I think that would be awesome! They are not so similar that it would sound cutesy... like Felicity and Cecily, those sound similar but still great together.

I just don't like the rhyming endings, and they even look a bit too similar to me...don't really like Felicity and Cecily together either...

I don't mind the rhyming endings of Rosemary and Daphne though...maybe because Rosemary is three syllables and Daphne is two? No because Felicity and Cecily are different syllables...maybe because Rosemary and Daphne end in different ways...

But Daphne and Phoebe end in different ways too :)

But I know what you mean. some names just don't look "right" side by side. There's no explaining it! I'm constantly trying to find the right "match" for my fave boy's name, Etienne. No luck so far...

yeah they do, but they both end in e. Rosemary and Cecily wouldn't work for me as not only are they both three syllables, but they both end in y.

I love Etienne! Benoit would make an amazing brother to him. Ooh, and Hugh.
