I definitely think [name_f]Nora[/name_f] sounds more rebellious than [name_f]Violet[/name_f]. [name_f]Violet[/name_f] is sweeter than [name_f]Nora[/name_f] to me. However, I don’t feel like either fit well with the sibset. They’re both much more common than [name_f]Celia[/name_f], [name_m]Stellan[/name_m], or the potential names for the youngest sister. I think [name_u]Wren[/name_u] or [name_f]Margo[/name_f] (this spelling looks edgier to me) sound rebellious, and even more so than [name_f]Violet[/name_f] or [name_f]Nora[/name_f]. Other ideas could be [name_f]Cora[/name_f], [name_f]Viola[/name_f], or [name_f]Veda[/name_f]/[name_u]Vida[/name_u]. Between your picks though, [name_f]Nora[/name_f] works the best. I feel like I hear less of her than I do of [name_f]Violet[/name_f], although that might be because [name_f]Violet[/name_f] is more common on this site than [name_f]Nora[/name_f].

For the other sister, I think [name_f]Aster[/name_f] or [name_f]Thea[/name_f] are best. I voted for [name_f]Thea[/name_f] because I think it works better in the sibset. [name_f]Thea[/name_f] is more classic than [name_f]Aster[/name_f], which is very eclectic. [name_f]Celia[/name_f] and [name_m]Stellan[/name_m] are a nice balance of classic and eclectic, and I think [name_f]Thea[/name_f] works well with that.

[name_m]Holt[/name_m]
[name_u]Jensen[/name_u]

I think [name_f]Nora[/name_f] fits best for the first sister. It’s the right balance between rebellious and staying with the theme. You also want to keep in mind that no one knows how their kid will turn out personality-wise when they name them.

As for the second sister, I think [name_u]Wren[/name_u] fits her pretty well. It sounds intelligent, with the right amount of quirkiness. It’s perfect! Plus, the other names flow well with it.

For the last name, I like the suggestions [name_m]Holt[/name_m] and Lund. My favorite of the two is probably Lund with this particular sibset.

Here’s what my favorites would look like put together:

[name_m]Stellan[/name_m] Lund
[name_f]Celia[/name_f] Lund
[name_f]Nora[/name_f] Lund
[name_u]Wren[/name_u] Lund
