Style discrepancies... How to choose?!

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] all!

I have a lot of names that I like a lot, but some of them are very different style from each other. [name_m]Can[/name_m] I mix and match them if I were to have multiple girls in my sibset? Are there any of these names that you think could belong to more than one category and would fit with siblings from another category? [name_u]Or[/name_u] should I just pick one category and stick with it? I included boy names for comparison too.

[name_m]Classic[/name_m] and regal: [name_f]Eloise[/name_f], [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f], [name_f]Juliet[/name_f], [name_f]Eliza[/name_f] (boys: [name_m]Oliver[/name_m], [name_m]Theodore[/name_m], [name_u]Benjamin[/name_u], [name_m]Andrew[/name_m], Adam)

A bit more quirky but still familiar: [name_f]Matilda[/name_f], [name_f]Fiona[/name_f], [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f], [name_f]Sabrina[/name_f], [name_u]Ruby[/name_u], [name_f]Felicity[/name_f], [name_u]Hazel[/name_u] (boys: [name_m]Frederick[/name_m], Hayden)

Trendy and popular: [name_u]Piper[/name_u], [name_f]Stella[/name_f], [name_u]Wren[/name_u] (boys: [name_u]Griffin[/name_u], [name_u]Cooper[/name_u], Leo)

More unique: [name_f]Zelda[/name_f], [name_f]Azalea[/name_f], [name_f]Andromeda[/name_f] (not really any boys in this category)

Help! Thanks!

To be honest, with the exception of maybe [name_f]Andromeda[/name_f], I don’t feel like any of these names are actually incompatible with names from any other category – I can see what you’re saying with each of the groupings, but the names you’ve listed are mostly quite versatile. I wouldn’t really bat an eye at a sibset of [name_f]Juliet[/name_f], [name_f]Sabrina[/name_f], [name_u]Piper[/name_u] & [name_f]Azalea[/name_f], for example, and when you hear them together like that, you don’t automatically sort each name into a style category (at least I don’t). I think it’s fine to mix & match and that you may just be overthinking it!

I think the only ones that stand out as not quite in same group: [name_f]Azalea[/name_f], [name_u]Wren[/name_u] & [name_u]Cooper[/name_u]. They’re more hip, youthful and very likely to date much more than your others. These are the names I would take off the list if it were me (and I’d probably change [name_f]Sabrina[/name_f] to [name_f]Sybella[/name_f] but that’s a separate issue, I just don’t like “brine” in names).

[name_f]Zelda[/name_f] and [name_f]Andromeda[/name_f] when mixed with others still have a sort of fancy feel - eg sisters called [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f], [name_f]Andromeda[/name_f] and [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] (or Florence) could all work.

All the others can mix and match really nicely, with any of the boy names I think!

I think pretty much all of them cross over just fine

Most of these names could easily fit to me - they feel familiar and wouldn’t be at odds with each other?

I’d say [name_f]Azalea[/name_f] and [name_f]Andromeda[/name_f] are the ones that would stand out? However, [name_f]Azalea[/name_f] and [name_f]Sabrina[/name_f], [name_f]Azalea[/name_f] and [name_f]Juliet[/name_f], [name_f]Andromeda[/name_f] and [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] and [name_f]Andromeda[/name_f] and [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] could work?

The names that stick out to me are [name_f]Sabrina[/name_f] and [name_f]Andromeda[/name_f]. The rest could honestly work fone together! I like a bit of an ecclectic set!

The only one that really sticks out to me is [name_f]Andromeda[/name_f]. The others mix and match just fine.

I think all of them work well together except [name_f]Andromeda[/name_f] and [name_u]Piper[/name_u]

to me, i think all the names besides like andromeda, azalea, possibly wren or zelda depending on what it’s with go perfectly fine. i wouldnt take a second look at siblings named eloise, ruby and stella or like matilda, eliza and felicity!
