CosimaAdeline & Caroline are not so close, that it really matters... I don't care about the same ending. so, IMO it works.
Yes, I think Cosima doesn't really fit with Benjamin and Adeline.

AthenaI personally think Adeline and Caroline are a bit close, but a lot of people wouldn't have a problem with it. I think Cosima, Benjamin and Adeline would be fine- they are all classic, lovely names. They aren't super matchy, but I tend to find perfectly matched groups of siblings a little boring. Even if I didn't think it went together that well, I would still use it- you are only known as a sibling group for such a short time in your life, I would rather have a name my parents loved than one that just 'fit.'

CosimaAdeline and Caroline are for me a bit too close, but Carolyn sounds fine - if nicknames are used all the time I would think it wouldnt matter too much.
I'd go for Cosima anyway, it's a cool name.

CosimaAssuming you're pronouncing them both with the -LINE ending, not -LEEN for Adeline, then yeah, they're quite close. It's a bit rhyme for me. I don't think Cosima is mismatched at all, and I would definitely go for it anyway. It's a lovely name.

CosimaI would consider Adeline and Caroline too close for siblings. I don't think Cosima would be too out there with Adeline and Benjamin, Adeline and Cosima are both rather unusual but familiar and I've noticed boys often get popular names where the girls get obscure ones.

For your questions, yes they are too similar and I don't care much for "matching names" if you love it go for it.

Are Adeline and Caroline too close for siblings? I think they're different enough, especially if you decide to use nicknames.
Would Cosima be too mismatched with siblings named Benjamin and Adeline? Or would you go for it anyway? It's a little different and a lot less common than the other two, but I think it's a cool enough name it wouldn't matter.

I'd use Ada for Adeline for sure. Caroline would probably go by that.

AthenaAre Adeline and Caroline too close for siblings?
A: Yes, to be honest. It's just too close with them both ending with '-line'.

Would Cosima be too mismatched with siblings named Benjamin and Adeline? Or would you go for it anyway?
A: Yes. Mismatched in my humble opinion. I can't tell you why, it just is when I look at it as a sibset. And no, I wouldn't go with it anyway, but that is me.

CosimaAre Adeline and Caroline too close for siblings? Yes, I'm afraid I think they are.Would Cosima be too mismatched with siblings named Benjamin and Adeline? Or would you go for it anyway? I think it's fits with Adeline, but stands out from Benjamin, which is a classic name. However none of them are that out of place from each other, it isn't like you're saying, "do you think McKaylin works with Benjamin and Adeline?!!" Sibling names don't all have to be in the exact same style, they just have to complement each other, which I think these three all do.

Would Cosima be too mismatched with siblings named Benjamin and Adeline? Or would you go for it anyway? I think Cosima works perfectly well with Adeline, but Benjamin sticks out a little due to his popularity. I still say go ahead, though.

Maya - because it is prettier and Mara means "bitter"
Maura - lovely spelling and I like the pronunciation better
Stella - just because I love star-names, and because Sofia is a bit trendier.
Yael - the other looks better, but is less likely to be pronounced correctly where I live.
Emilia - just like it better
Katherine - hard one, but Katherine is classier. Clementine is uber pretty, but not so strong.
Adeline - by far.
Adeline - I like Ade-names
Elisabeth - a classic and a plethora of nicknames
Cora - hard to choose, but I guess this is cuter. Though I love Stella.
Elizabeth - only because it is more recognizable, though I like the soft z sound.
Grace - I like the virue connotations, but it's a lot more timeless.
Sofia - us Italian have to defend our spellings.
Ivy - sooo hard. Love Ada but Ivy is so quirky and fun.
Ivy - livlier and less trendy.
Etta - in a game of personality, Etta wins.
Camille - one of my faves. Oozes class to me.
Corinne - I think it sounds more professional and girly. Plus, you have nickname options.
Cosima - this is legit whereas the other is a little too character name-eyAdeline and Caroline would work, but I personally would never pair them for the similarity. I would likely change the ending to -a for one of them. Adelina and Caroline or Adelina and Carolina. Cosima doesn't quite match - but if I loved it I would do it.
