matchy matchy twin set?

I know how most people feel about same initial twins but I was wondering if the names Rowan and Rhiannon are way too similar in a twin set? Rowan for a boy btw ad Rhiannon a girl.

i think they'd be cute. it doesn't look like you were trying to come up with matching names. just looks like you happened to like two names that start with R.

Me too!
Rowan and Rhiannon are nice names, though.

This.

My husband and I happen to have names that start with the same letter. I find myself apologizing for it. It's sickening (both the matchy and the apologizing).

They're both great names so it doesn't really bother me that they're matchy.

I don't think they're too matchy. There could be worse: Rowen and Rowena.

i love them both. i was almost a rhiannon, but my mom didn't like it because anderson was my maiden name. so they picked the top name of the year. thanks mom.

you could do non matchy middle names to make up for both r's.
i love rowan as a girls name, too.

I usually don't like sibling names, especially twins, starting with the same letter, but this set doesn't bother me. I think it helps that they have a different number of syllables.

They are both nice names but I think the alliteration is too much.

I agree.

They're a little matchy, but they're both on my list. ♥

They both begin with "R" and end with "en" so I'd say they're a LITTLE too close (IMO).

Now, if you did something like Rowan and Rebecca, that wouldn't be as matchy.
