Yes, I think they're too close. And then, your aunt might assume that you named your daughter after her. If you don't mind that, then fine. But if you do mind, it would be awkward. You'd either have to let her think that, though it wouldn't be true, or tell her that it's not so, which would be sort of mean.
When we named our daughter Victoria, it was assumed by some that we'd named her after my husband's best friend, Victor nn Vic. We didn't really care about whether or not we hurt his feelings, and got in the habit of saying, "NOT named after him."
