Thoughts on Sibset

What do you think of this little sibset of four sisters I dreamt up on the bus this afternoon?

Thoughts, suggestions and changes all very welcome!

[name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]
[name_f]Rosamund[/name_f] [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f]
[name_f]Astrid[/name_f] [name_u]Valentine[/name_u]
[name_f]Susannah[/name_f] [name_u]Laurel[/name_u]

[name_f]Cecilia[/name_f], [name_f]Rosamund[/name_f], [name_f]Astrid[/name_f] and [name_f]Susannah[/name_f]

[name_f]Cece[/name_f], [name_f]Rosa[/name_f], [name_f]Astrid[/name_f] and [name_f]Susie[/name_f]

I like them! [name_f]Cece[/name_f] and [name_f]Susie[/name_f] are a bit too similar for me though as nicknames

I would probably switch the middle names on [name_f]Rosamund[/name_f] and [name_f]Susannah[/name_f]. Like [name_f]Rosamund[/name_f] [name_u]Laurel[/name_u] and [name_f]Susannah[/name_f] [name_f]Madeline[/name_f]. I thought it was too heavy on the m’s in [name_f]Rosamund[/name_f] [name_f]Madeline[/name_f].

I think those are pretty!

I feel like [name_f]Rosamund[/name_f] [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f] is a bit of a mouthful and doesn’t really flow. [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] and [name_f]Susannah[/name_f] [name_u]Laurel[/name_u] flow well. I’m not sure about [name_f]Astrid[/name_f] [name_u]Valentine[/name_u] … it feels a little different in tones than the other ones.

Ooh, they are lovely together! I love [name_f]Astrid[/name_f] [name_u]Valentine[/name_u] :heart_eyes: The only thing I’d change is probably [name_f]Rosamund[/name_f] [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f], I think a shorter middle name would work better with [name_f]Rosamund[/name_f] and the repeated m-d sound doesn’t appeal to me much. But still, it’s a great set.

I like all the names but [name_f]Astrid[/name_f] feels a little out of place in the set

I love [name_f]Astrid[/name_f] (Astrid [name_u]Valentine[/name_u] is just :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:), [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] and [name_f]Rosamund[/name_f] together but [name_f]Susannah[/name_f] doesn’t fit to me. It feels a bit too traditional, a bit too (in my opinion) boring next to the other three, which I see as unusual classics, strong names used throughout history which are timeless yet not overused.

[name_f]Susannah[/name_f], on the other hand, feels dated to me - most of the Susannahs/Susies/Sues I know are over 60, whilst one is in her forties. I can’t imagine it on a child to be honest. Anyway, this is all subjective, and others may see [name_f]Susannah[/name_f] totally differently. I have seen it here on the boards on occasion so I have no doubt others love it.

I think Astrid sounds a little like an odd one out! The rest work very well together!
