    Too Matchy?!?!?

    My little girl is Mahalia and one of the top names on my list for a boy is Micah. Do these names sound too matchy together or do they work together?

    I think they work very well together.

    They are too similar for me, and they share almost the exact same letters.

    What happens if you have a 3rd child? 4th child? What do you name them? Mahalia and Micah is setting yourself up with a theme, and it's not just that they begin with 'M' it's the rest of the letters they share in common. If it were Mahalia & Morgan, Mahalia & Moses it wouldn't be too bad, even though same letter names aren't for me really.

    I should also clarify there will be no more children. Two is the limit but I appreciate all the feedback both negative and positive.

    I like Morgan as well Lizabethrose

    In my opinion, they are too close, but it's really your opinion that matters. If you think they are different enough then that's fine. My fiance's sister's girls are Nora and Nina, which I think are too close, but she's fine with it, so it's really a personal preference.....

    I don't think she plans on having more children either, but since she recently divorced, she might later on....

    Also Lizabethrose sounds awful, sorry, it looks totally made up, Elizabeth Rose as a name is fine.... Lizabethrose just looks Elizabeth Rose smooshed together.

    Haha, I think she was just referring to my signature because I have 'Lizabethrose' in there, which obviously isn't my real name but what I like to have on here.

    If it's just two children then it isn't so bad but not something I'd choose. Mahalia and Morgan would be better, than Mahalia and Micah.

    I think they're too close because they have the exact same sounds, but if you are fine with it, then go for it ^_^

    I think Mahalia (which is lovely) and Morgan would be better. I'll assume you only want M names so here's some others I think sound great with Mahalia:

    Mahalia & Milo
    Mahalia & Malachi
    Mahalia & Malcolm
    Mahalia & Malik
    Mahalia & Malone
    Mahalia & Marlowe
    Mahalia & Marshall
    Mahalia & Matteo
    Mahalia & Maxwell
    Mahalia & Merritt
    Mahalia & Miles
    Mahalia & Monroe


    Side note:: Catloverd:: I just noticed you have a cat named Calcifer and I <3 that. Howl's Moving Castle, which is where I'm assuming you got it from, is one of my favorite Miyazaki movies and I think it'd make a cool middle name for a real kid one day ^_^

    Yep, the movie was actually based off the book, which is one of my favorites. It's by Diana Wynne Jones. Howl's Moving Castle was the first movie my fiance' and I watched on our first date. Calcifer was our favorite character and since Calcifer was our first cat, we gave him a special name We obviously can't use it as a name for our kid now, lol, but I don't think my fiance' would have allowed that anyway..... lol
