Seeing as
Elisabeth and
Isabella come from the same source, it's like naming one daughter
Anne and the other
Hannah. Couldn't he be more original?
Of course, it's unlikely that he's aware of this.
Beth and
Bella sound very, very different to me, in terms of what sorts of people each may be--but that has no bearing on the children. It just sort of weirds me out, because the full names match like furniture in a house designed by
Martha Stewart, but the nicknames have completely different feels to them.
Weird. I'm so glad I wouldn't have two kids with just about the same names.
