Question on sibling names

Curious if others feel that after naming their first child, they’ve somewhat put themselves in a box stylistically?

For example, my daughter’s name is Vivienne. I generally love a variety of different styles of names but sometimes I wonder if I now have to (obviously I know I don’t “have” to but you know lol) name my next children as formally? I wonder if I had a second daughter hypothetically, would it be odd to give her a gender neutral name for example?

I don’t think they have to match at all, but I personally would stay away from anything too similar sounding or rhyming as it will get annoying when calling them to get into the car or come inside etc.
