I am thinking Holden is my favorite boy name (good thing I am almost 37 weeks pregnant and still don't have a name!) But my oldest son's name is Hayden. Do you think they sound too matchy?

I think they are too similar, you'll mix up their names anyway so maybe it would help to have them not so "matchy"

Nah, I think it would be fine.

Joyful Tie Dyes · 05-25-2011, 09:54 AM

too alike IMO

This is JMO, but yes, I do think they sound too similar.

Love the name but would be too close for me to use.

Yes, I think they are too similar.

I say if you love it, use it. I have 2 nephews (brothers, no other siblings) named "Jack" and "Jake".

Too alike, IMO.

My youngest DD is Vera. I am loving the name Viola this time, but yeah, can't do it since it's too close to Vera.

I think they are cute names. Do you dislike them matchy? I have a Kyle & a Kole. Probably annoying to some but I nearly died having them so I can name them as the hubs & I choose.
