Is this to rhymey?

in Baby Names

When I married my husband, I inherited a name that now rhymes - Alie and then a long Italian last name that ends in "...elli".  Some people say it sounds cute, but I don't know if they just say that to not hurt my feelings.  Well, I'm pregnant with my second and love the name Kellie for a girl.  Most of my family likes the combo, but a few people have said that they don't like how it rhymes...my husband and I are honestly on the fence.  What's your opinion?

    I am going to say that if you don't like the name for yourself, it's probably not a good idea to give your DD a similar sounding name.

    Let's say the name is Spinelli?  Kelli Spinelli?  That sounds really off.

    That is exactly the name I came up with in my head as OP's last name lol.

    OP: what is the baby's last name going to be? Alie "...elli" or vice versa? I don't think it sounds that bad if it is Alie "...elli" but I don't like the reverse as PP said.

    I personally wouldn't do it. Here's what I'm imaging: Alie and Kellie Santinelli. It's too much for me. It reminds me of Callie O'Malley on Grey's Anatomy!

    Oops. Reading fail. I thought you inherited an Alie last name. I definitely don't like Kellie "...elli"
