Hypothetical Sister Set

How do you feel about [name_f]Caecilia[/name_f] + Orpheama, both individually and as possible sisters? They both have personal connections to me.
[name_f]Do[/name_f] you think I could get away with pronouncing [name_f]Caecilia[/name_f] as kye-kill-ee-ah?
I’m not a huge nn person, but she would probably be [name_f]Cae[/name_f] ([name_u]Kai[/name_u]) or Caea ([name_f]Kaia[/name_f]).
Orpheama would probably end up as [name_f]Orphea[/name_f] or just [name_f]Orphie[/name_f].
Thoughts?
TIA

I think it’s an interesting combo, definitely names I hadn’t seen before. I’m not sure about getting away with that pronunciation though, sorry. It looks way too much like [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] and it was my first thought that it was just an alternative spelling of it.

I would have assumed [name_f]Caecilia[/name_f] was pronounced [name_m]Say[/name_m]-see-lee-ah. Other than that, the two seem well paired!

I assumed the pronunciation was [name_u]Kay[/name_u]-sill-ee-uh. I like it with that pronunciation. I’ve never heard of Orpheama, but they work as sibling names

I wouldn’t be sure how to pronounce [name_f]Caecilia[/name_f] at all. Also, caecilians are a sort of worm-like amphibian, which isn’t a great association. I do love [name_u]Kai[/name_u]/Cae and [name_f]Kaia[/name_f]/Caea on a girl as a nickname though. Orpheama is interesting but reminds me of “orifice.” Because of this, the sibset feels like a GP biology-related set. I don’t think it’s usable.
