Simon and Owen too close?

kmvisioli · June 2016

I know I've posted a couple times now about our twin boy names - we are just having such a hard time settling! One will be Elliot, and while I do love Elliot and Owen together I worry that it is too similar to DS1 (Simon). Thoughts?

I really think it's fine!

Not to close at all

The only thing I would say to keep in mind with Owen and Simon is how the names will sound when you call the kids across the room or house. My DHs name is Garrett and my MIL is Sharon- not similar at all right? Well when my FIL calls either one its SHARRRRR or GARRR and they both say "what?!?"

I feel like the -enn sounds of Simon and Owen could get confusing in that situation, but if you don't see yourself calling out their names loudly I wouldn't be concerned (btw I don't want that to sound sarcastic- I truly mean that calling out names across the house just isn't everyone's style)
