I’m working on a sibset at the moment that consists of seven children- that’s a bunch of kids, I know, but it makes sense in terms of worldbuilding for there to be larger families than might be most common in our world.
The siblings are; [name_u]Dorian[/name_u], [name_f]Imogen[/name_f], [name_m]Crusoe[/name_m] ‘[name_m]Cru[/name_m]’, [name_f]Poppy[/name_f], [name_f]Lydia[/name_f], [name_f]Jade[/name_f]/[name_f]Jayda[/name_f] and [name_f]Alice[/name_f].
What do you think of the sibset? Are there any names you’d change? Are there any names you love, dislike or feel just don’t match the ‘feel’ of the others?
Absolutely all opinions welcome.
[name_u]Dorian[/name_u], [name_f]Imogen[/name_f], [name_f]Poppy[/name_f] and [name_f]Jade[/name_f] work well together, because while [name_f]Jade[/name_f] isn’t exactly unusual it’s still outside the top 100
On the other hand, [name_f]Lydia[/name_f] and [name_f]Alice[/name_f], both names in the top 100 feel kind of weird next to [name_u]Dorian[/name_u] and [name_m]Crusoe[/name_m]
I also prefer [name_f]Jade[/name_f] over [name_f]Jayda[/name_f], [name_f]Jayda[/name_f] doesn’t have the same classic feel as most of the other names
Instead of [name_f]Alice[/name_f] and [name_f]Lydia[/name_f] you could use [name_f]Ailis[/name_f]/[name_f]Amaryllis[/name_f]/[name_u]Felice[/name_u]/Flordelis/[name_f]Alessia[/name_f]/[name_f]Althea[/name_f] and [name_f]Arcadia[/name_f]/[name_f]Claudia[/name_f]/[name_f]Elodia[/name_f]/[name_f]Leocadia[/name_f]/[name_f]Livia[/name_f]/[name_f]Ligeia[/name_f]/[name_f]Liora[/name_f]
I feel like [name_f]Poppy[/name_f] and [name_f]Alice[/name_f] stick out most. It could work if you make [name_f]Poppy[/name_f] a nickname ([name_f]Penelope[/name_f]? [name_f]Philippa[/name_f]?)
Not sure what to do with [name_f]Alice[/name_f]. Mabe make it nickname for [name_f]Amaryllis[/name_f], like pp said.
