Name ideas too similar for sibset?

in Baby Names

Husband and I have been discussing baby names for a long time. I have loved "Elise" for a girl for years. He has recently decided that "Ellis" is the perfect name for a boy! Truth be told, I love the boy name "Ellis" too, but am not willing to give up "Elise" either! I'm so torn about what to do if we end up having a boy!

Are those names too much to have as a sib set one day? We hope to have other names in the mix that aren't similar. (Turner, Corbin, Esther, Miriam as some possible examples)

    Elise and Ellis are WAY too similar for a sibset.

    Ellis and Esther are fine, though I don't love using the same initial.
    Ellis and Miriam are better.

    I don't like Turner or Corbin at all. Ellis is miles ahead of those for me.

    Maybe middle name Elise?
    Ellis Corbin and Miriam Elise?

    Elise and Ellis are too similar.

    I adore Esther and Miriam.  Ellis and Miriam would be very sweet together.

    They are way too similar. I have several names that I had to give up for other names. It's lame I know! I love Ellis btw.

    Too similar, and I think Elise is way stronger than Ellis.
