do these names sound silly together?

[maisiemackenzie]

We have a dd called Nuala (pronounced Noo-la),
and are now really struggling to think of any girls names for new baby due in April. Literally the only one i can think of is Oona, which i love but think maybe it sounds to similar to Nuala. What do you think?

[Watoose]

Hmm bit confusing!

are there any others you like?

[waspriceyp]

Nuala and Oona, quite hard to say together. I think too similar and not individual enough for the second born.

[SheWillBeLoved]

Abit too similiar with the 'ooh' sound in them both. Personally I wouldn't use it - but ultimately it's your decision.

[Disenchanted3]

I wouldn't.

What about Orla?

[TheFirstLiffey]

I wouldn't.

What about Clodagh, or Maeve?

I knew of a woman with a Juno and an Oona and I thought that was a bit wtf? sorry, excuse me?

[mrsfossil]

I really liked a girls name but was similar and rhymed with ds name so have decided against it. I was worried that they would sound like puppets off cbeebies

[squeaver]

yes they do sorry.

[cyteen]

i think your DDs would get confused whenever you called for one of them, which would probably be quite frustrating for all of you!

[tiggerlovestobounce]

Sorry, I think they are too alike.

[mazzystartled]

i think it's fine actually

[littlelamb]

I think they might be too similar. I love Eartha, which is along the same lines but sadly it doesn't work with our surname.

[nailpolish]

i think its fine

[melpomene]

IMO they're too similar. If you say 'Nuala and Oona' quickly it feels a bit like a tongue twister. Also it's likely that people would get their names mixed up.

[bixley]

I know of a Nula with a baby sister Heidi. Nuala is such a beautiful name it is pretty hard to match it. Lovely warmth about it, sorry not much help!

[maisiemackenzie]

Yeah that's what i thought too but have entirely failed to think of another girls name that i like.. any suggestion? i would ideally like Scottish, but we ended up with Nuala because there are loads of good Scottish boys names but not girls!

[wotulookinat]

I think they sounds silly together, and tbh, Oona sounds silly anyway!

[hairycaterpillar]

Sorry I also think they sound a bit silly together.

[pulapula]

Too similar for me and difficult to say together too. I knew 2 brothers called Kevin and Calvin and thought that was too similar too.

[GYoIsReallyHavingABaby]

Niamh - think it goes nicely with nuala

beautiful name
