- have two-syllables - are stressed on the first syllable - feature a long A sound in the stressed syllable
To my ear, even if you had the most beautiful name in the world, its flow and musicality would suffer if you paired it with another name that is similar in so many ways. Two different names can enhance each other and allow each to shine; two similar names just make you sound like you are repeating yourself.
