I think Evelyn and Avery have two things working against them as sister names: they’re (1) too similar and (2) too different. The sounds are so similar I immediately start getting tangled and saying Avelyn and Every and Everly and Averlyn, but the styles are quite different. And since you already have an Evan and an Evelyn, I wouldn’t add a third vowel\/V combination like Avery.<\/p>\n
I think Abigail would work well. Aden and Evan, Evelyn and Abigail. Both boys have two syllables, both girls have three.<\/p>\n
Or Amelia would be nice, and gives the girls both 6 letters and the boys both 4: Aden and Evan, Evelyn and Amelia. <\/p>\n
Or Alice would be my favorite, I think: Aden and Evan, Evelyn and Alice. <\/p>\n
I’m slightly tempted to work with the Ev\/Ev you already have, and go with an Ad\/Ad to coordinate. Something like Adeline or Adelaide or Adrienne. Aden and Evan, Evelyn and Adeline.<\/p>\n
Or I like both Aubrey and Audrey. Aden and Evan, Evelyn and Aubrey. Aden and Evan, Evelyn and Audrey. Audrey would give a hint of the Ev\/Ev\/Ad\/Ad idea, if you wanted it.<\/p>\n
Anneliese\/Annalise has some of the sound of Annika. Aden and Evan, Evelyn and Annalise.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
