Family members and baby names

Question

heres my problem.. i just worked out the name that i like which is ray-lee pronounced ray lee... its for a little girl... but on saying it outloud my sister has a little boy names baylee do you think the names are to much the same.. i have had so much trouble finding something i like it actually starting to stress me..picking a name that is... my question is do you think it is to similar

Answer 1

i thought baylee was for a girl. oops.

ray-lee is fine. if you like it, go with it. these kids won't be in the same room all the time.

they will probably get nicknames anyway

Answer 2

it is very similar, but they are just cousins. Use Raylee if you really like it.  

Answer 3

Those names are pretty similar.  If you are set on Ray-lee, ask your sister how she'd feel about it.  She may be bothered by its similarity to her son's name and feel like you are copying her naming style; then again, she may not be bothered by it.  

I know you didn't ask my opinion on this, but I think you'll be able to find a better name than Ray-lee anyway.  Yes, it sounds cute, but I'm afraid names like these will sound terribly dated in 10-20 years.  

Would you consider the similar Rosalie?  It's just as cute, it's extremely uncommon (not even in the top 1000 in the U.S.), and it would work well on a child or an adult.  As an added bonus, it doesn't rhyme with Baylee!

Answer 4

is the name you picked out going to have the hyphen in it? if so, thats silly no offense. either put a space there or combine them because for a first name to have a hyphen, it looks dumb. baylee and raylee? also kinda silly. you cant think of ANY other names? think really hard! you can do it =)  

Answer 5

yes it is very similar

Answer 6

similar,but i really don't think that it should be a problem with the names! girl you name your baby like you want to.

Answer 7

nope only if she doesnt mind. if she does you could name her:

Raye Lee lastname

or Raegan Leigh nicknamed Rae Lei && mix up the spelling since its Baylee go with:

Raeliee

Rayelie

Raeleigh

Rayleigh

Rayley

Answer 8

While it is very similar to your nephew's name, I wouldn't throw the name out.  Many, many siblings have similar names like Tara and Cara or Don and Ron, especially twins, so why would it really matter.  Therefore, if you really like the name Ray-Lee, use it... unless you can find another name that you like better.

Answer 9

it's a very cute name, but it is way to similar to your sisters son.

Answer 10

Yes, it is similar. The only difference is the 'R' in Ray-lee, so basically its the same difference..

Answer 11

yes it's too similar.. everyone will be constantly confused and think that you just copied the other name on purpose

Answer 12

Yes afraid so

xx

Answer 13

They are a little similar, it doesn't really matter though, at least THEY aren't brother and sister. They will probably develop nicknames as they grow older. If you think Its a problem, what about Reagan?

=]].

Answer 14

Yes to similar
