We already have a two year old son, Eli Alexander, and are expecting a baby girl. We both love the name Ayla, but worry that they sound too much alike. What do you think? Are the too similar sounding? We are also struggling with a middle name for Ayla (if we go with that name). We would really like a name that begins with an S (after my grandmother as the A is after my husband's grandmother). I like Ayla Shoshana but my husband hates Shoshana so that's out of the question. The only one we can agree on is Ayla Sophia. We love the name Sophia but dislike how common it is now. Can you think of other middle names for Ayla? Ayla Seraphine? Ayla Sabrina? Ayla Sarina? Our last name has two syllables so I don't think a two syllable middle name would sound good because then all 3 names would be two syllables. Any suggestions? Or other, completely different A and S name combinations altogether? The order does not matter. Thanks!

I don't think that they're too similar. Ayla and Eli are the sort like a matchy sibset- a lot better then James and Janice or something like that. Me and my sister have close names, and the only problems we have is our dad calling us by the wrong one :P

Ayla Sophronia (alternative to Sophia)
Ayla Summer
Ayla Sabine
Ayla Sabrina
Ayla Seraphine (I do like this)
Ayla Sapphire

Other A names:

Alice and Eli
Alisa and Eli
Amelie and Eli
Amity and Eli
Anna and Eli
Acacia and Eli

Hope it helped!

They are a little bit, I think. Probably a little too close for my liking. I do like Ayla Seraphine though
