Help[Opinions] Alicia and Allison...
Dh and I have always liked the name Alicia for personal reasons from when we met. Some friends had a DD about 3 months ago and named her Allison nn Allie. Do you think Alicia is too close to Allison for us to consider using it? We wouldn't use a nn.
Thanks
Angela

Since they have fairly different pronunciations, I don't think that it would be a problem.

I don't think they are too similar, Alicia is quite different.

No I don't think so. I would still use it if it's your favorite.

Nope. I mean, yes, they're variations of the same name, but I don't think they're so similar in sound that you & your DH should avoid using Alicia, especially if it means something to both of you. :o)

I dont think that it is too close to use and even if it was why wouldnt you use it. Just bc your friends used a similar name doesnt mean that you cant use a name that you love.

No, I don't think it's a problem in anyway. Who cares if someone used a name that's similar to the name you like (or, the same name, furthermore)? I see no problem with friends and family using the same name or similar names for their children. You like the name, and no one should stop you from using it.
