I think it's a little weird in that I notice it. My nephews are Noah and Alexander and I sort of notice it. But only for a microsecond. Gabriel has 1 more syllable than Marcus and I notice sometimes, too, but it doesn't bother me either. We call them Marc and Gabe so maybe that's why. WAY better than like Marcus and Schmarcus or something equally blatantly "twinny."
Yeah that is harder. Have you tried Nymbler? Here is what I get that isn't on your No list:
Elizabeth, Lily (maybe Rose and Lily? Or Lilliana?), Grace, Emily (or Emilie, actually sounds good w Victoria too!), Madeleine (this was my fav girls name w Charlotte...Vicki and Maddie?), Claire.

No I dont want Vicki!! Lol. I cant do Elizabeth, or Emily, (either relatives or other people I know IRL) cant do Lily and Rose, both flowers and I say lily funny, used to like Madeleine but dont like maddie and have a cousin named madison who goes by that, not a huge fan of Claire. I am difficult, I tell you!
I also do not like Tori. Or Tor. Reminds me of Bring It On.
Oh, I know I don't like them either! I'm just saying, I don't think people will nn her if you don't.
They better not! The main thing is having to clarify it a thousand times to DH's family. When I said Genevieve but hate the nn Gen or Genna and wouldnt want people to call her that, SIL's response was, "And they will!!"

I hate people that always try to nn. So annoying! I'd just be really clear: we don't want ANY nick names! Our girl name is Genevieve but SIL (who we don't speak to) is Jenny, so no one would dare calling her Gen or Genna haha.
