Below are some fictional sibling sets I’m thinking of for a novel. Not all will be used but I like to have a few possibilities. What do you think of them and would you change any of them?

[name_f]Anwen[/name_f] & [name_f]Tesni[/name_f]
[name_f]Emilia[/name_f] & [name_f]Olwen[/name_f]
[name_f]Tressa[/name_f] & [name_f]Elowen[/name_f]
[name_f]Aspen[/name_f] & [name_f]Jade[/name_f]
[name_f]Veryan[/name_f] & [name_m]Aldus[/name_m]
[name_f]Sage[/name_f] & [name_f]Eden[/name_f]
Alphaeus & [name_f]Imogen[/name_f]
[name_f]Eirlys[/name_f] & [name_f]Branwen[/name_f]
[name_m]Sorrel[/name_m] & [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f]
[name_m]Amyas[/name_m] & Rhodora

[name_f]My[/name_f] favourites would be: [name_f]Aspen[/name_f] & [name_f]Jade[/name_f], [name_f]Emilia[/name_f] & [name_f]Olwen[/name_f], & [name_m]Amyas[/name_m] & Rhodora.

If I could mix & match & go for [name_f]Sage[/name_f] & [name_f]Olwen[/name_f], [name_f]Tesni[/name_f] & [name_m]Sorrel[/name_m], & [name_m]Amyas[/name_m] & [name_m]Aldus[/name_m].

[name_f]Anwen[/name_f] & [name_f]Tesni[/name_f] → love this! [name_f]Sunny[/name_f], distinctive, and intriguing

[name_f]Emilia[/name_f] & [name_f]Olwen[/name_f] → a bit mismatched, but I don’t mind them together - fun and warm.
If I was to change them up: [name_f]Emilia[/name_f] and [name_f]Ottilie[/name_f], [name_f]Emilia[/name_f] and Willow; [name_f]Enid[/name_f] and [name_f]Olwen[/name_f]

[name_f]Tressa[/name_f] & [name_f]Elowen[/name_f] → rugged, friendly and approachable with a bit of distinctiveness too

[name_f]Aspen[/name_f] & [name_f]Jade[/name_f] → stylish and on trend and nature-y

[name_f]Veryan[/name_f] & [name_m]Aldus[/name_m] → distinctive with a hint of the magical

[name_f]Sage[/name_f] & [name_f]Eden[/name_f] → so cute and cool

Alphaeus & [name_f]Imogen[/name_f] → intriguing and sort of forest-y vibes; though [name_f]Imogen[/name_f] feels very popular besides the distinctive Alphaeus - I’d consider: Alphaeus and [name_f]Isolde[/name_f], Alphaeus and [name_f]Innogen[/name_f], Alphaeus and Isca; [name_m]Ambrose[/name_m] and [name_f]Imogen[/name_f], [name_m]Atticus[/name_m] and [name_f]Imogen[/name_f]

[name_f]Eirlys[/name_f] & [name_f]Branwen[/name_f] → sleek, sharp and winter-y vibes

[name_m]Sorrel[/name_m] & [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] → for fictional sibs these and kind of fun and matchy

[name_m]Amyas[/name_m] & Rhodora → cool with a hint of clunkiness and a hint of poetry

[name_f]Anwen[/name_f] & [name_f]Tesni[/name_f] → well-matched Welsh beauties with great meanings

[name_f]Emilia[/name_f] & [name_f]Olwen[/name_f] → a bit mismatched in popularity, style, and frilliness. Other suggestions: [name_f]Emilia[/name_f] & [name_f]Olivia[/name_f], [name_f]Emilia[/name_f] & [name_f]Odessa[/name_f], [name_f]Eluned[/name_f] & [name_f]Olwen[/name_f], [name_f]Eleri[/name_f] & [name_f]Olwen[/name_f]

[name_f]Tressa[/name_f] & [name_f]Elowen[/name_f] → modern Cornish gems

[name_f]Aspen[/name_f] & [name_f]Jade[/name_f] → well-matched in associations. I would expected [name_f]Jade[/name_f] to be the oldest as its popularity spike was earlier.

[name_f]Veryan[/name_f] & [name_m]Aldus[/name_m] → medieval oldies; feel complementary in their unusualness

[name_f]Sage[/name_f] & [name_f]Eden[/name_f] → modern, nature-adjacent, and cool together

Alphaeus & [name_f]Imogen[/name_f] → complementary sounds, but slightly mismatched familiarity Other suggestions: Alphaeus & [name_f]Iscah[/name_f], Alphaeus & [name_f]Damaris[/name_f], [name_m]Ansel[/name_m] & [name_f]Imogen[/name_f], [name_m]Aldous[/name_m] & [name_f]Imogen[/name_f]

[name_f]Eirlys[/name_f] & [name_f]Branwen[/name_f] → connected by the meanings and origin. [name_f]Branwen[/name_f] strikes me as a bit more serious than [name_f]Eirlys[/name_f]. Other suggestions: [name_f]Eirlys[/name_f] & [name_f]Delyth[/name_f], [name_f]Eirlys[/name_f] & [name_f]Ffion[/name_f], [name_f]Branwen[/name_f] & [name_f]Enid[/name_f], [name_f]Branwen[/name_f] & [name_f]Lowri[/name_f]

[name_m]Sorrel[/name_m] & [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] → maybe a bit too theme-y unless it’s relevant to their character connection. Other suggestions: [name_m]Averill[/name_m] & [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f], [name_m]Sinclair[/name_m] and [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f], [name_m]Sorrel[/name_m] & [name_f]Lilias[/name_f], [name_m]Sorrel[/name_m] & [name_f]Bryony[/name_f]

[name_m]Amyas[/name_m] and Rhodora → also feel medieval and cool!
