I don't think they sound too much alike.
When looking for girl name ideas for the babe I am currently pregnant with, Dh and I both loved Rayne/Raine.
I kept saying, "Rayne -our last name-" sounds SO familiar...
Finally it hit me: Our DS' name is Cain.
DH said he'd be perfectly happy with rhyming names.
I just can't do it.
I think the names you have chosen are beautiful and don't sound too much alike to be confusing or annoyingly cutesy.

We will probably go with Gianna and let the nn form organically, or not use a nn at all.
