Do you think Olivia and Eva are too close to be sibling names??

Thanks

They are a bit similar, but still useable imo.

They are a bit of a mouth full said together, maybe Eve or Evie would work better??

I know a sister pair called Olivia and Eloise. They are very cute! I think the ah's on the end of Olivia and Eva might be a bit much but it's not a huge thing...

My DD is Ameliyah (Amelia) and her father and his new partner named their daughter Olivia<------To me that is a major mouthful...

So no, not as bad as that.

I wouldn't do it as I think they sound a bit too similar. That said, it's no where near as bad as most of the other sibsets people ask about being too similar not where I'm practically the only person who says yes, they are too similar. I think Olivia and Eve or Olivia and Genevieve would be good options.

I agree, I think Eve would go better.

They are both beautiful names but I do think they sound too similar for siblings I love Evie though

Yes, too close.

Both classical, elegant names though.

Yes, too much of a mouthful.

Olive and Eva sound good together. And with Olivia, I'd pair Eve or Evie.
