If this was a sib set...

If you met this family, what would be your initial reaction?

[name_f]Allegra[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f]
[name_f]Imogen[/name_f] [name_f]Persephone[/name_f]
[name_f]Phaedra[/name_f] [name_f]Caroline[/name_f]
[name_m]Declan[/name_m] [name_m]George[/name_m]
[name_m]Linus[/name_m] [name_m]Alexander[/name_m]

Individually what do you think about the names?

[name_f]Allegra[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f]–One of my favorites!
[name_f]Imogen[/name_f] [name_f]Persephone[/name_f] --Sweet, intellectually precocious
[name_f]Phaedra[/name_f] [name_f]Caroline[/name_f]–[name_f]Phaedra[/name_f] is a bit heavy for my taste, but [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] is sweet in the mid-spot.
[name_m]Declan[/name_m] [name_m]George[/name_m]–Handsome
[name_m]Linus[/name_m] [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] --ditto

I’d switch out [name_f]Phaedra[/name_f], but the rest are lovely together…and [name_f]Phaedra[/name_f] gets a 5/10.

Do you pronounce Phaedra and Allegra so they rhyme?
Imogen is not my taste but she’d fit in with the other girls quite well.
Declan and Linus are totally different styles to me. Declan being very modern and “stylish” while I get a scandinavian vibe from Linus, so I don’t find them fitting.

[name_f]Phaedra[/name_f] feels a little out of place but other than that they all flow well together. All sound just lovely individually :slight_smile:

These names are gorgeous, but they all seem too sci-fi for me, like they might make more sense in a novel than real life.

My friend’s name is Yamuna [name_f]Jade[/name_f], so I think [name_f]Allegra[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] works. That way, if [name_f]Allegra[/name_f] were to grow up and want to change her name to be more “normal,” [name_f]Jane[/name_f] would be perfect. That’s what Yamuna’s parents did for her.

[name_f]Imogen[/name_f] [name_f]Persephone[/name_f], I think, is a little out there. I’d suggest choosing one of those beautiful names and making the other one more normal, i.e. [name_f]Imogen[/name_f] [name_f]Stephanie[/name_f] or [name_f]Emma[/name_f] [name_f]Persephone[/name_f].

[name_f]Phaedra[/name_f] [name_f]Caroline[/name_f]: I’d just rearrange this to [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] [name_f]Phaedra[/name_f] :slight_smile:

I really like [name_m]Declan[/name_m] [name_m]George[/name_m], and [name_m]Linus[/name_m] reminds me of the [name_u]Charlie[/name_u] [name_m]Brown[/name_m] character.

Have you considered the name [name_f]Seraphina[/name_f]? It reminds me of some of these!
