Do you think Miles and Mabel is too matchy matchy for a sibset (not twins)?

I was just on Nameberry and it said Falmouth and Experience are some of today's most popular names. Falmouth all I can think is Foul Mouth and Experience...?? Enough said.

I like both Miles and Mabel but they are too matchy for siblings.

I really don't think they are too matchy for a sibset. They start with the same letter but have completely different sounds...Beautiful names too.

I don't think they are too matchy, but at the same time - I have a Cressa and a Cora, and it does get difficult sometimes since they are close. Mine are more matchy IMO and I don't think they're too matchy, lol.

LOL, Falmouth is a scrappy little town in Massachusetts. "Hi, these are my children, Falmouth and Glouchester." ;)




I don't think Miles and Mabel is too bad. Although if there was another sibling that didn't have an M name, I think it would be noticeable.

I don't think Miles and Mabel are too matchy, at all! I think it's a darling sibset. It reminds me of Miles and Maisey, from Uncle Buck.

Ugh, Falmouth is almost WORSE than Experience. They are both terrible, but Falmouth sounds like he has bad breath or a habit of cursing constantly.

I think they work nicely together! They've got the same first letter but the sound is totally different for each and they're for different genders, so you won't be accidentally calling one when you mean the other, more than likely. Plus they're the same length too. I'd say go for it, Mabel is a lovely name!

Miles and Mabel are darling, and I don't think they're too similar. I would think Milo and Mabel were too close, I think because of the syllables...Miles and Mabel are fine though!
