Am I being silly?!

I agree with all the PP, you should use the name you choose! Otherwise you might regret it for a long time.
She will be carrying the name for all her life, you don´t want to be reminded for 70 years that you changed her name because of your sister.
If my sister would have a daughter and would pick the same name we would (if we would have a girl) I´m not even sure if I would change it for that reason.
To me they don´t sound that similar, it´s not the same name. But even if it sounds similar to you, after 3 months everybody will be used to it and knowing the babies by then they will be two separate individuals.

Thanks everyone, I'm much less emotional about it today!

I was speaking to DS1 this morning and he said 'it doesn't matter mummy, because I like both names and that's good!'.

Eliza is such a great name I am sure you will all manage... and you could always come up with a special nickname.

My boys have their names, nickname off of that, and a special animal nickname... they answer to them all.

I don't see how it sound alike?? For me it's so different!Just keep the name you love.

Z, I agree this is ur long awaited girl and she'll be here before your sisters baby. You call her whatever u want to as u will end up regretting it! We have a Caelan and Callum in our family (dh side)... the same name really, but pronounced diff, but one is gaelic.
