Milo and Maia.
I was just going over some names on my PNL. Do you think Milo and Maia are too similar to use in a sibset?

yes.
i prefer Maia (but pronounced My-a).
Milo doesn't seem like it'd age well.

It is a difficult call and normally I'd say no but I think that Milo and Maia kinda work. The only thing that I don't think would work was if there was another sibline: Milo, Maia and Ayden for example, doesn't really work.

Good point. I hadn't thought to test it with other names too. Milo is quickly working it's way up on my list. I love Maia, but there a lot of other names I love more for girls. It wouldn't break my heart to drop Maia. It's just something I've been thinking about.

Yep, they're a bit confusing. I love Maia, Milo is so-so, though Mila is growing on me.

I think so, unless one was a fn and the other a mn. They both have four letters and the same sound at the beginning.

To me, they are too similar (4 letters, starting with M). Both are great, though.

I don't think they are too close. I think they would be nice in the same sibset.

I love Maia but I don't like Milo

They're both such short names and for the first syllable to match is a little too close for my personal tastes (I like a lot of variety though). But I'm not terribly bothered by it - it's definitely not enough to make me cringe.

Not really. They look quite alike but they don't sound that bad together.
