Sibling names too similar?

I have a daughter named Alexa Rose (nicknamed Lex or Lexa). We are expecting our second daughter soon and are having a hard time agreeing on a name. The only name we both like is Ella. Do you think Ella and Alexa are too similar? And if so, do you have any suggestions? Thanks!

    They are kind of similar.
    What about Bella or Stella? Almost the name you love but the additional letters make them sound different and less matchy wth Alexa.

    The two ending in A is too sing songy for anything I would personally use but guess could be worse

    I would try calling out loud, “Alexa and Ella!” And see how it feels/sounds. I didn’t think they were too similar upon first sight, but when I try to say it put loud it’s a bit of a tongue twister.

    I think it's fine. They will spend the majority of their lives as adult individuals rather than as a sibling set.

    Eh, I second giving her a longer name and going with an Ella-like nn. I personally think they sound awkward together.

    I think they are fine. Both of my girls are going to end in "a" and it doesn't bother me a bit.
