HelpRe: Loving Mary (f) and Rory (m). Do the names work as a sibset? Too close? Good twinset? nt
in reply to a message by LoQuiero
I am a bit odd in that I have issues with siblings having names that start or end in similar sounds. For example, Ashley & Wesley or Braden & Bradley. Therefore, MaRY & RoRY bother me a bit. But both are very nice names, and not overly cutesy together, and at least they don't rhyme. :b I adore Rory, and so nice to see in used on boys. :)
ETA: How about using a variant of Mary or using it with a nn?
Suggestions...
Marianne/Marianna
Mariel
Mara
Miriam
Mary nn Molly, Maisie, Mamie

Thanks for your opinion! I usually do have the same thing about sibsets that are like the ones you've mentioned, but maybe I didn't have an issue with it this time because I really love both names and it wasn't matchy on purpose, and like you've said, not overly cutesy together ;).
The variant suggestion does make sense, but I'm kind of settled on Mary at the moment. Just right now, probably not for the rest of my life ;).
From your suggestions, I love Marianne and Marianna (even better; or Mariana), Mara, Molly, Maisie, and Mamie, but would only use
Marianne/-a, Mara, Molly.
