[name_f]Elise[/name_f] and [name_f]Colette[/name_f] fit very well together, IMHO. I don’t know that [name_f]Colette[/name_f] fits quite as well with your boys’ names, but if you truly love [name_f]Colette[/name_f], I think you have your answer.
[name_f]Elise[/name_f] and [name_f]Colette[/name_f] especially, are perfect, as they both have a [name_m]French[/name_m] history. [name_m]Liam[/name_m], [name_f]Elise[/name_f], [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m], and [name_f]Colette[/name_f] are lovely. Look no further!
[name_f]Elise[/name_f] and [name_f]Colette[/name_f] are absolutely perfect together!
My biggest concern is because it doesn’t fit with the boys super popular names!
Well I think it sounds beautiful and siblings don’t have to match perfectly, the only way I think that they don’t match is by popularity which considering that’s based on everyone else’s taste seems like a silly reason not to use it.
It reminds me of the movie [name_u]Marley[/name_u] and Me, the children are [name_m]Patrick[/name_m], [name_m]Connor[/name_m] and [name_f]Colleen[/name_f] (I know, all Irish, I get the theme they’re going for). It’s not to the same extent as [name_m]Liam[/name_m] and [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m] but [name_m]Patrick[/name_m] and [name_m]Connor[/name_m] are way more popular than [name_f]Colleen[/name_f] which I did pick up on watching the movie but I actually found it quite endearing and sweet.
[name_f]Colette[/name_f] is a lovely name and does fit well, go for it.
[name_f]Colette[/name_f] is lovely. Like others have said, it fits really well with [name_f]Elise[/name_f] stylistically. I wouldn’t worry too much about them all fitting tbh. I’ve met plenty of sibsets where the names are really varied in terms of popularity
This is what I was going to say.
Can you do [name_f]Diana[/name_f] [name_f]Colette[/name_f] so it fits the sib set, but call her MN, [name_f]Colette[/name_f]? [name_m]Just[/name_m] a thought.
[name_f]Colette[/name_f] fits with [name_f]Elise[/name_f] beautifully, and though [name_f]Colette[/name_f] doesn’t seem to fit with [name_m]Ben[/name_m] & [name_m]Liam[/name_m] as much, [name_f]Elise[/name_f] does, which tends to draw all of the names together for me.
Personally, not a fan of [name_f]Colette[/name_f], but I definitely think it usable, and if you love it, you should definitely go with it.
