Just thinking about names...

Hi there,:wave:
Do you think the names Riley and Finley are too similar for cousins with the same surname?
Thanks!:)

I guess it depends on a couple of things. Is Finley called Finn as a nn? No prob then
Or do they actually spend alot of time together?
I don't think they're to similar, but can understand your reluctance if they're together alot, the 'ley' sound getting called could be confusing.

Thanks for your reply! I should have mentioned that Riley is my nephew, and Finley is one of the names I'm considering if we have another boy. They'd see each other max once a month. At the moment we see them about 4-6 times a year.

Finlay is on our list so of cause I love it (either spelling). I don't think its too close to Riley at all.

I don't think Riley and Finley are too similar at all. The only thing they have in common is the "ey" sound. Other than that they sound completely different. And even if they didn't, there are families with multiple children with the same name and it isn't detrimental to the children. I think you're fine with those two name in your family. :)
