[name_f]Harriet[/name_f] [name_f]Alice[/name_f] [name_f]Rowena[/name_f] nn [name_f]Etta[/name_f]

[name_f]Harriet[/name_f] and [name_f]Caroline[/name_f]
[name_f]Imogen[/name_f] and [name_f]Edith[/name_f]

My least favorite fns with your sibset are: [name_f]Cora[/name_f], [name_f]Coraline[/name_f], [name_f]Kathleen[/name_f], [name_f]Isadora[/name_f], and [name_f]Theodora[/name_f]. While lovely names, they don’t seem as classic as the other ones.
