Are these too matchy?

edited March 2014 in Baby Names
Our DDs name is Amelia. We just found out were excepting another little girl. DH likes the name Lucia (Loo-C-Uh) Spanish for Lucy basically. I really like the name Olivia but DH thinks it's too matchy with Amelia.

    I personally have a rule that my kids are not allowed to start w/the same letter or have the same ending...that being said, this is your choice! I love Lucia...Olivia is an "eye rolling" name for me as I know about 3,528 of them.

    They are both pretty matchy, but Lucia is the less matchy of the two. Is Lucy an option?

    I agree with others that the ia at the end for both makes them to matchy. Why not go with Lucy?

    I don't think they're too matchy, but I do love Lucia more than Olivia. Olivia is too common.

    I know a family near me with an Amelia and their other daughter is Abigail, I think it's a great pairing. Just thought I would mention :P out of your choices I think they are equally matching with the endings? Why not just Lucy? Or Lucie. I would be saying Lucia (Loosha)... Matchy isn't awful though, it is not as if you are naming this baby Amelio or Ameliana. :)
