What a fun collection of names! They remind me a bit of the Bobbsey Twins books which I enjoyed as a child, whose main characters were a sibset of [name_m]Bert[/name_m], [name_f]Nan[/name_f], [name_f]Flossie[/name_f], and [name_m]Freddie[/name_m] 
[name_f]My[/name_f] favorites are [name_f]Roberta[/name_f] ‘Bobbie’, [name_f]Hermione[/name_f], [name_f]Constance[/name_f], [name_f]Mabel[/name_f], [name_m]Esmond[/name_m], [name_m]Frederick[/name_m], [name_m]Sidney[/name_m] ‘Sid’, [name_m]Spencer[/name_m], [name_m]Harold[/name_m], [name_m]Roderick[/name_m], and [name_f]Aubrey[/name_f]!
I also love the use of quirky vintage nicknames like [name_f]Zenobia[/name_f] ‘Nobby’! So fun.
