What do you think of Catherine Vanessa & Zelda Jane as siblings
Edit: This is for a story, the characters are half-siblings

Made me think of [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] Zeta-Jones!
I like the rhythm and flow of both names. For me though, for siblings, it would be:
[name_f]Catherine[/name_f] [name_f]Zelda[/name_f] & [name_f]Vanessa[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f]
Or
[name_f]Catherine[/name_f] “Kitty” [name_f]Zelda[/name_f] & [name_f]Jane[/name_f] [name_f]Vanessa[/name_f]
Or
[name_f]Zelda[/name_f] [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] & [name_f]Vanessa[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f]
To make it work, I’d go [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] “Kit” & [name_f]Zelda[/name_f].

They do seem pretty different from each other. [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] is traditional/classic/royal/saintly while [name_f]Zelda[/name_f] is either Jazz-age vintage or a video game heroine, depending on your interests. [name_m]Not[/name_m] as cohesive as, say, switching the names around and having [name_f]Jane[/name_f] [name_f]Zelda[/name_f] & [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] [name_f]Vanessa[/name_f], or [name_f]Zelda[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] & [name_f]Vanessa[/name_f] [name_f]Catherine[/name_f].
I like both names individually but don’t think they quite flow together. I agree with Eloise T above that Catherine Zelda and Vanessa Jane flow better.
If I was using Zelda I would be more inclined to use Zelda Frances and Aster Jane or Stella Jane for a sibling. A lot of names work with Catherine.
they seem a little bit too different from one another for my personal taste, but if you like your names to be a little bit different and individual then they’re definitely sweet!

After your update yes they would absolutely work as half siblings. My mum was born in the 1950s and her half siblings were born in the 1970s and their names are very different but reflecting what was popular at the time.

Zelda and Catherine are pretty different. They can be whatever you’d like for the story but they feel very different.
I would do
Vanessa Catherine and Zelda Jane
or Zelda Catherine and Vanessa Jane
or Jane Vanessa and Catherine Zelda

I think they could work. Slightly different in vibe but that may work well with them being half-siblings – and both are familiar at least (like I can imagine a parent who at one stage chose [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] also picking [name_f]Zelda[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f])

For half siblings they 100% work. They’re a bit different but not in a way that’s so far off that I can’t imagine they were named by the same shared parent.

They do seem a little mismatched, but I agree that they’re fine for half-siblings in a story. I think I would use something a bit unexpected as a nn for [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] to make them feel a little more cohesive - like [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] nn [name_m]Cato[/name_m] or Kit/Kitto? Theron/Therin? [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] and [name_f]Zelda[/name_f] is a really lovely pair though!
