Names that rule out other names

[pythianlegume7.livejournal.com]

Kasia is my second favorite girls' name, but it rules out two other names that I absolutely love: Kate and Sasha (for a boy).

I also love both the names Evie and Ivy.

Colin, Callum, Caleb and Calvin (there are some mixes that aren't too close in there...like Colin and Caleb aren't too bad together, but you get the picture)

Eleanor, Elizabeth and Eloise

Laura and Lauren

Margaret nn Meg and May

Leah and Louisa

Got any?

I have a feeling that we'll end up with kids called Johanna, Johannes and Jana because these are the only names we really agree on ;)

There are lots on our list

We're planning to name a daughter Genevieve nn Eve which immediately rules out Adam and Evan for boys.

Celia and Cordelia nn Delia

Lila, Ayla, Lydia, Delilah

Charlotte nn Charlie and Charles nn Charlie

Linnea, Liana, Lena

Elliot, Eli, Elijah

Milo and Miles

I really liked astrid, but I feel it's too close to adria.
adria also rules adrienne, adrian, and hadrian. and I love all of those.

Love Charlie for a boy, ruling out one of my favorites (Charlotte) for the girl.

Eliza & Elijah.

Eloise, Elliott, Elijah, Everett

Elliott, Scarlett (okay so some say it's not too close but I personally still find it too matchy)

Claire, Clara, Ciara

Declan, Desmond

Ada, Eva

I feel like there are more. I'm pretty sure everything that my boyfriend and I actually agree on conflict in SOME way (see: Scarlett & Elliott)

Elodie and Emory. We're really struggling with this because they are both very important to us. =(

UMM can I just say that we're basically name twins?! haha
Kasia is my MIL's name (well, Katarzyna) - both my husband and I love it and would like to name a possible future daughter after her.
If we have a boy, we plan on naming him Alexander, nn Sascha, because I LOVE the name Sascha.
Our daughter's name is Eva, nn Evie. :)

I teach brothers named Christopher and Christian. They both go by "Chris". It is so annoying. :\

Sometimes I wonder if all of our Beatles reference names rule each other out (Jude, Lucy, and Eleanor), but then at other times I love the idea of using them all.

That is awesome!!! You have great taste!

I happen to love the "elle" sound. My top girl name is Isabel, which rules out Elle, Ellie, Gabrielle, Annabel, Elizabeth, Ella, etc.

Lucas/Lucy/ Lucia
Evan(der)/Eva/Ava/Maeve

Hmm.. I really like both Alexander and Alexandra, but Alexandra is my number one girl's name, so I think I'd use that over Alexander.

I also really like both Elaina and Layla, but I'm afraid the 'lay' part is too similar.

I also like both Lucy and Lucia.

I'm sure there are more, but I can't think of any at the moment.

Oh wow, that must be so confusing. They should go by Topher and Ian.
