They're similar, but I think they're cute together!

I think Braelynn and Brooklyn are too close but I think either of them with Brynlie are fine.

I think they're all sweet names, however I would be worried of people mixing them up, and even yourself and dh when calling out for one of them. My son and dh's name sound very similar and every single one of my friends and family have alot of trouble with mixing them up...even I do. I also know someone who named all of her sons one syllable names (Max, Sam, Jon). While those names aren't same in sound, I just can't remember who is who!!!!

Miranda I agree... I would totally mix them up. I mean I already do. Ill go through all my kids names (including my boys) just to get to to Brooklyn and the dog even comes before I remember her name is Brooklyn. I think its my old age. hahahha

I do it too with my kids. I think it's just that there are so many names to remember. Actually all my kids start out as Isabelle. hmmmm....I think she's the most troublesome. So it's Isabelle Miranda, Isabelle Celina and even Isabelle Tyler once in a while.
I do agree that Brooklyn and Braelynn do sound very close.

I agree. I think Braelynn and Brynlie are different enough and Brooklyn and Brynlie, but Brooklyn and Brealynn would be too much. Personally I would want names a little different, but I don't think they are "too" close either. They'd make great twin names.
