Thoughts and suggestions on sibset names (nymphnaps)

Lately, I’ve been trying to fill in this sibset consisting of Euphemia + Isolda + (boy) + (boy). I’d prefer a slightly longer name than Isolda (ee-zol-duh) to balance out the lengths between hers and Euphemia. So, after staring at my list for a long while, I came out with Raphael, which was an old favorite, though I’m now crushing hard on Rafa. So what are your thoughts on Raphael in this sibset? Does the ‘ph’ clashes too much with Euphemia and singles out Isolda?
For the other option, I love Moses with Euphemia, as per usual. But is it too short (two syllables)?
Thus, Euphemia, Isolda, Raphael and Moses?
Other boy name suggestions that fit Euphemia and Isolda are welcome!

[name_f]Euphemia[/name_f], [name_f]Isolda[/name_f], [name_m]Raphael[/name_m] and [name_m]Moses[/name_m] is an incredible sibset!

I love [name_m]Raphael[/name_m] and [name_m]Moses[/name_m] with those names! I really like how [name_f]Euphemia[/name_f] and [name_m]Raphael[/name_m] share a ‘ph’ sound while [name_f]Isolda[/name_f] and [name_m]Moses[/name_m] share an ‘s’.

I think [name_m]Raphael[/name_m] (especially nicknamed Rafa!) and [name_m]Moses[/name_m] are great brothers in this sibset. I don’t think the -ph- in [name_m]Raphael[/name_m] and [name_f]Euphemia[/name_f] is too much at all, especially when [name_m]Moses[/name_m] and [name_f]Isolda[/name_f] share the -s-. (I see the pp mentioned the same thing)

A few more brother for [name_f]Euphemia[/name_f] + [name_f]Isolda[/name_f].

[name_m]Amias[/name_m] and [name_m]Gareth[/name_m] are longtime favourites and [name_m]Faramond[/name_m] is a huge gp of mine! I’ve been thinking of [name_m]Othello[/name_m] lately, but not sure if I’m brave enough to use it :).
