Is this sibset overkill?

[name_f]Lilac[/name_f], [name_f]Violet[/name_f], and [name_f]Lavender[/name_f]

[name_f]Lilac[/name_f] [name_u]Winter[/name_u], [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f], & [name_f]Lavender[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f]

For triplets or regular sibs

Yes, overkill in my opinion

I don’t think it’s an overkill. Yes they’re all shades of Purple but somehow that’s cute. The names are all different enough in sound and written out!

Definitely an overkill. If they were less subtle, I doubt it would be ([name_f]Daisy[/name_f], [name_f]Lillian[/name_f], [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] for example - [name_f]Daisy[/name_f], [name_f]Lily[/name_f], [name_f]Poppy[/name_f]).

I’m fine with it. I actually thinks it’s cute, but I think others would see it as too much. I love [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f], and really like [name_f]Lilac[/name_f] [name_u]Winter[/name_u], [name_f]Lavender[/name_f], and [name_f]Violet[/name_f].

Yes. They are not only all flowers, but purple flowers. For pets it would make sense, but not human siblings.

I know someone who named her kids [name_f]Crimson[/name_f], [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] and [name_u]Ruby[/name_u]. I think it is cute!

I think it’s cute :slight_smile: It reminds me of the floral sibsets often found in the Edwardian/Victorian era :stuck_out_tongue: I’ve known multiple twins named [name_u]Michael[/name_u] and [name_f]Michaela[/name_f], so I think this would be fine.

I’ve never understood comments like this - ‘not suitable for humans’, it was done enough in the past, why is it wrong now? Haha.

Haha thank you! Finally someone who sees the light! Nouns/Adjectives have been used as names throughout history. And so what!? That’s great! I’d rather be named honoring a beautiful plant than named for a noise like “[name_f]Meghan[/name_f]”

I find it very redundant like naming your children [name_f]Aurora[/name_f], [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] and [name_f]Dawn[/name_f]… only more so. Sorry.

[name_f]My[/name_f] husband has relatives who did this exact set. And then they had a boy. I can’t remember what his name was, but there aren’t many boy names that are purple themed…

I’m not sure I would describe it as overkill, I like the theme, but [name_f]Lilac[/name_f] and [name_f]Lavendar[/name_f] have matching initials amd [name_f]Violet[/name_f] doesn’t. [name_f]Lilac[/name_f] and [name_f]Violet[/name_f] also sound a little too close for me, though alone they are all beautiful names.

Sorry- you both must have misunderstood. I didn’t mean that noun names aren’t suitable for humans (of course they are. I adore [name_f]Violet[/name_f], actually). I meant that in my opinion, having a flower and color theme like that, especially together, is too cutesy and cartoony for a sibset (where it would be kind of cute for pets).

[name_f]IMO[/name_f] it’s overkill. I agree with a pp’s comment that it seems redundant. Maybe even stifling, as though the children are preordained to be in this clique. But people name their kids thematically quite a bit, and the kids seem to be fine. It’s just not for me. I think a theme would be better used more subtly or with more traditional names (i.e. [name_f]Violet[/name_f], [name_f]Rose[/name_f], and [name_f]Linnea[/name_f]). Also, I love [name_f]Violet[/name_f] but [name_f]Lilac[/name_f] and [name_f]Lavender[/name_f] are not my style (plus I don’t much like the color purple).

I wouldn’t advise using three purple flowers for first names but they would be a quirky way to connect three girls if they were used in the middle spot.

I completely understood, haha - I receive that comment a lot, it just still doesn’t make a lot of sense to me, but to each’s own :slight_smile:

Definite overkill, too much purple!
