Da scrap
Stylistically, they fit well - there’s something quite gothic and Oxbridge-y about them, and they do fit the vibe you’re going for.
[name_f]My[/name_f] one concern would be that [name_m]Connell[/name_m] and [name_u]Marion[/name_u] are similar to [name_m]Connell[/name_m] and [name_f]Marianne[/name_f] (from Normal People) - not sure if it’s a huge deal though? See what others think
I think you’ve captured those hallowed halls very well!
I wonder if you might mix it up to:
[name_f]Vera[/name_f] [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] or [name_f]Vera[/name_f] [name_f]Lucette[/name_f]
and [name_u]Marion[/name_u] [name_f]Estelle[/name_f]
Actually, I love [name_u]Marion[/name_u] [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] just don’t love the transition from [name_f]Vera[/name_f] to [name_f]Estelle[/name_f]. [name_f]Vera[/name_f] [name_f]Clothilde[/name_f], [name_f]Vera[/name_f] [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] or similar (with a consonant) would be better, I think.
[name_u]Or[/name_u] [name_f]Vera[/name_f] [name_f]Frances[/name_f], [name_f]Vera[/name_f] [name_f]Margot[/name_f]
This is what I was coming to say! Other than this, my one thought is that Connell feels much more modern when compared to vintage gems Vera and Marion, but I don’t think that has to be a dealbreaker!
Oh, I love them! They’re great. Three gorgeous names that all feel a touch different stylistically… my personal fave way to create a sibset lately. These are divine. 10/10!
i absolutely love these! it’s very dark academia without being dark in a creepy, off-putting way— all in all these are very lovely and pass the vibe check
