Okay, ignoring what you might think of the names themselves...

Do you think Gabrielle and Isabella are too similar for a sibset?

No, I don't. I like them both separately and as a set. I think as long as one ends in the "ah/uh" sound and the other doesn't they're fine, but Gabrielle and Isabel, for example, I don't like because it's so rhyme-y.

YES. It's 'elle' overload. That, and I don't think the names, barring their sound, similar enough to work. Personally, a Gabrielle is a laid-back, sporty, talkative kind of woman who's not necessarily beautiful, while Isabella is dark, regal, a bit flighty, and gorgeous.

*are similar enough in style. I'd pair Isabella with Anastasia and Ophelia before I'd pair it with Gabrielle.

thats funny. i dont picture those names fitting those women at all.

[daydream11.livejournal.com]

Really? Do tell. :)

I think it's a very nice sibset.

It's not too close. Gabriella and Isabella would be, and Gabrielle and Isabel would be, but the way it is now, no.

[cherryboomstick.livejournal.com]

Nope. Not at all.

[arbus.livejournal.com]

no i dont think so, as long as one has the -ah at the end, and one is without.

agree

[breenah.livejournal.com]

I love them both and think they'd work well as a set.

Personally it's too much elle for me, but it's probably borderline and could be pulled off.

If they ended with the same sound, then yeah, they'd be too matchy, but like this I think they're fine!

I think they're just fine. Gabrielle is one of the names I really wish I could use, but it would rhyme with my last name and I don't want to do that to my kid. :(

They work well together, yes. And both are very pretty names.

I think they're too similar. My rule is, if two names could have the same nickname (in this case Elle), they're too similar. I also happen to hate both of these names, but that's a different story.
