[quote=Anonymous]As a fellow over-thinker, I get where you are coming from. I like names that "match" in significance, formality, etc. My SIL has 3 girls, 2 with very feminine traditional family names to honor relatives, and 1 girl with a gender-neutral, probably more common for boys name they just liked, no significance. Drives me nuts. I like Sarah and Caroline, calling them Sadie and Caroline. If those are the names that are meaningful to you I would stick with them. Sadie may to explain to some that Sadie is a nickname for Sarah, but that's no big deal. As someone with a 3 syllable name that people often shorten without my permission, just know that there are those types out there who will try to call her Carrie or another nickname, and having a sister with a nickname may seem like you don't mind nicknames and encourage this behavior, etc. Who knows, your daughter may decide she likes Carrie or a different nn altogether.
