Are these names too similar?

BrittKavBrittKav member
in Baby Names

DD is Anneliese and if this one's a girl we're considering Amelie. Do those sound too much alike?

Also, DH doesn't like that they both begin with "A", so he wants to spell it Omelie. Please tell him this is a bad idea.

Thanks. Wink

    Its a bit too alliterative for my taste.  I do like both names, but I would try to avoid two names starting with the same sound/letter.  Omelie is awful.
    I give up trying to get a ticker.  I have a DD that is 2.5 years old and is awesome.  Maybe I'll add a quote to distinguish myself.  Hmmm.  How about...

    BrittKav's DH, Omelie is a very bad idea.

    I don't think they are too similar... they have the same sound, but I think they are different enough to use. I really love Amelie, though, so maybe I am biased a little :)

    I don't think they sound too similar.  But I absolutely agree that Omelie is a very bad idea.

    Oh yeah, spelling it with an "O" is not nearly as pretty

    Definitely a no to Omelie : )!

    My gut/first reaction was that they were very similar : (.  But, I like both names... although, I don't know that I've seen Amelie spelled that way-- is it pronounced the same as Amalie?  I LOVE Amalie.

    I'm sure they're pronounced the same, but I think Amelie is the traditional french spelling.

    this.  Omelet is all I could think of... I love Amelie but what about Emilie if he really wants a different spelling?

    Both are very pretty, but I think they're too similar for siblings. You'll be tongue tied :)

    Omelie is a terrible idea.  I think Annaliese & Amelie are both really pretty names.  They do sound a little similar but I think it still works.  I vote go for it, but definitely without the O..

    Amelie is fairly traditional in French.  Emilie is also a traditional French way to spell it, usually with an "accent aigu" on the first "E."   ?milie.

     I like Emilie better but think either choice will likely be misspelled frequently as Emily.

    Omelie is nms.

    Omelie is awful - being a daughter of people who thought having two girls with A names, I really think you need to branch out.  I don't know how my sister feels about it, but we basically have rhyming names - starting and ending with A.  ICK.

    I don't think they are too similar but when they get older and you are yelling their names it's like a tongue twister... I know I'd get confused.  I am not a fan of giving kids names with the same letter for this reason.  Very pretty names though.  
    Love my girls!!

    Really dislike how they sound together. Omelie looks like a pet name for an omelette. :-p
