Sibling for Penelope

in Baby Names
Hi, everyone! I have a beautiful three month old named Penelope and am very seriously considering trying for another baby late summer/early fall (because I'm insane) lol. My LO was named just before we left the hospital with her and I'd like to avoid a repeat. So stressful! I had a strong feeling she would be a girl before I was ever pregnant and I was right (50/50 shot, right?). I feel like this next one will be a girl as well. I'm really LOVING the name Phoebe. I like that it is also a strong Greek name and isn't very popular, but is it too much with Penelope? Also does anyone have any suggestions for strong, classic, not super popular boy names?

    Penelope was on our list and we flipped a coin and went with Piper. I love Phoebe as well!! I think they are cute because they don't start with the same sound, but still match. Also, choosing a name in the hospital was super stressful for us and we don't want to repeat that either! If we are lucky enough to have another DD we are naming her Olive

    I think they are only close on paper. Saying them out loud they don't sound very similar. Pheobe is cute.

    Genevieve
    Audrey
    Tabitha

    I don't think they're too close. If you want to avoid the same first letter and stick with Greek or mythology inspired maybe consider:
    Daphne 
    Diana
    Chloe 
    Thalia
