Name ? for baby #2 in regards to baby #1

So my DD's name is Adaira (version of Irish name, honors ancestory etc) and a name we really like as well for a girl is Aurelia. Are these names too matchy matchy? I think they are but DH is set on the second name for this DD. I love the name too but am having second thoughts.... opinions?

    They're a little matchy but not over the top, IMO. Aurelia is pretty. I actually heard that name for the first time yesterday!

    I think they are too matchy. Imagine calling both their names at the same time. Don't you think it will be a tongue twister to yell "Adaira!" "Aurelia!"
    ??

    Especially since they both start and end in "A".

    I love the name Aurelia. I have wanted to use that name for a girl since the first time I saw Love Actually.

    The names are matchy, but not horribly so.

    I really like that name, but I do think they're kinda matchy. But if you love the name, I'd go ahead and stick with it.

    eesome:

    Adaira is spelled like it's said, Ad- air- a (I guess another way would be A-dare-a)

    Aurelia is pronounces (Ah-rail-ya)

     And yes, I agree that yelling together is weird and have pointed this out to DH but he disagrees.

    Both my sister and I have "L" names, and my mother would get our names mixed up all the time. She would also get tongue twisted and blend them together from time to time. lol

    Well-- whatever decision you two decide, both names are beautiful.

    They're both great names. (I was thinking "Hmm, maybe we could do Adaira if we ever had a girl" ... and then realized how incredibly rhymey it would be with our last name! ;)) They are a little matchy for my taste. I'd try to find something else you both agree on but if not, go with Aurelia. :)
