I met these two sisters the other day, their names are Kayla and Layla. They both have different mothers and the same father, but are being raised together. At first I didn't like these names together because I thought they were too close, but everybody else seemed to think that the sib set was adorable. I just wanted to know what you guys thought?

A lot of people seem to think that matchy names are cute, its definitely not my style personally though. I'd much prefer names that matched in style but no rhyming <3

Both Kayla and Layla are pretty names, Mike really likes both names and we have both on our list.. but we'd never use both. One or the other.

Way too close and similar sounding for Sisters IMO. I don't find it cute at all, to me it seems like the Parents couldn't make a decision between the two names so they just used both incredibly similar names.
I love both names, just not as a sibset! ;)

Way too close! I think children should have their own identity, for me this cut into that. I think its a one or the other situation. but i agree i do like both names :)

This.

I love Layla personally. Kayla isn't my style. It's a little dated IMHO.
