Re: Too similar?

  • I don't think Sylvie is not too close to Shelby Kate. Since Shelby Kate is a double name it takes away the similarity for me. Is that weird? lol I think if you are going to call her Sylvie just name her that. I don't really see it as a nn.

    Clara and Isla are kind of similar but I think it just might be the "a" ending so I think it's ok.

    Sylvie and Shelby are pretty close, but like PP said if you always call Shelby Kate by both names, it's not that bad. I don't see anything similar about Clara and Isla besides the ending, and I love Clara!!

  • I think Sylvie is too close to Shelby, even though it's an adorable name!

    Clara works great with your sibset!

  • I think any of them work together just fine :)
  • Clara is fine, but Sylvie and Shelby seem a little sing-songy to me.
  • I'm on the fence with Shelby and Sylvie. I LOVE Sylvie, but I'm thinking that it miiight be a little too similar to Shelby. Clara sounds awesome with the sibset!

  • I love the double name Shelby Kate.

    I don't think Sylvia is too close.
  • Wait. I'm confused, is this for your future children?
    Yes, for possible future children. 

    I'm baby name obsessed so I like to keep my lists updated :)

  • I think Clara and Isla are too close but if Shelby is always Shelby Kate then I think Sylvia nn Sylvie is adorable. Sylvia is at the top of my future children's name list too.

  • I like Clara and Sylvia. But I don't think either are too close to be used together.

  • Sylvia and Shelby are too close IMO. I love the NN Sylvie though but yes, too close.

    I don't think Clara and Isla are too close but I don't really like the name Clara.
