[name_f]Violet[/name_f], [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] “[name_f]Rose[/name_f]” and [name_f]Hazel[/name_f]
Is this a little too strong of a theme for sisters? I love all three of these names, but it just occurred to me that they may seem a little… matchy.
What do you think?
They are beautiful names but do strike me as theme-y. I personally don’t care for sisters with all flower names or all color names. But this sibset isn’t glaringly matchy…at first impression, I didn’t immediately make the connection.
They are very theme. But if you are okay with that I think they also work.
I esp like [name_f]Violet[/name_f] and [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] together. [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] is nms. But I think something like [name_f]Violet[/name_f], [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] and [name_f]Lillian[/name_f] would make the flower theme a little less of a “slap in the face” with [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] and [name_f]Lillian[/name_f] being very slightly veiled variations.
All of this, except I like [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] and [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] together and [name_f]Violet[/name_f] is nms. 
I agree that they are very themey, but I think you could get away with it if it was a lot of siblings and they didn’t all have flowery names (like [name_f]Violet[/name_f], [name_f]Emilia[/name_f], [name_m]Julian[/name_m], [name_m]Henry[/name_m], [name_f]Serena[/name_f], [name_m]William[/name_m], [name_m]Frederick[/name_m], [name_f]Penelope[/name_f], [name_f]Zara[/name_f], [name_f]Hazel[/name_f], and [name_u]Rowan[/name_u], for example? Obviously, it wouldn’t have to be to that extreme, even, lol. I think something like [name_f]Violet[/name_f], [name_m]Julian[/name_m], [name_f]Emilia[/name_f], [name_m]Henry[/name_m], and [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] would be okay…). But yeah, just [name_f]Violet[/name_f], [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] and [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] is a bit much, for me anyway.
Hmm, it might be bit theme-y…but I get more of a Victorian, Dickens-novel sort of feel from it, not so much a straight up garden theme. I think they’re all, individually, beautiful names that flow well together. If you love them, use them. And, one day, when your kids are grownups, they won’t be part of a sibset, but just lovely women with polished, elegant names–and that’s a triumph in and of itself!
I wouldn’t use them as first names but they would work as middle name choices. It would be a way to connect the siblings without an overload of nature. We don’t use our mn’s very much anyway.
Grr. Why do I like names that are similar!
[name_f]Do[/name_f] you think using only two of them would be alright? [name_m]Say[/name_m] if the third girl had a different name?
I think they’re actually fine together–maybe a little themey, but I think they work okay because [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] isn’t particularly floral and [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] feels more like a name-name and less like a flower-name to me. I’d only be hesitant if you planned to have another girl and call her something completely non-nature-y, thus leaving her out.
I’m going to disagree with everyone else, I think it’s okay because it’s an obvious theme. I don’t like when things don’t match, and when I see (just for example) [name_f]Caitlin[/name_f], [name_u]Camden[/name_u] and [name_f]Ambrosia[/name_f], or [name_m]Cove[/name_m], [name_u]Bay[/name_u], [name_u]Ash[/name_u] and [name_m]Justin[/name_m]…it hurts something. So I say go for it.
There’s a theme there but it does come as something as an afterthought. I think the fact that [name_f]Violet[/name_f] though a flower is also strongly associated with the color, [name_f]Rose[/name_f] has the full name [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] (which I adore), and [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] again has a dual tree / color association. So they are nature oriented but not glaringly a bouquet, such as [name_f]Azalea[/name_f], [name_f]Dahlia[/name_f] & [name_f]Rose[/name_f].
One thought is to go with [name_f]Violette[/name_f] to make it more a glancing nature reference. Though I don’t see the problem with the three together.
That said, if you had a fourth I’d encourage you to keep with a nature / color theme. Otherwise it would fall flat and the seem left out which would be the main reason I’d reconsider.
Also, I find this far more appealing than naming all your children after the same letter. [name_f]My[/name_f] dad is from a family of “sh” – awful – and wanted to continue the trend with his kids! [name_f]My[/name_f] mom put her foot down, thank goodness.
Lov, love, love.
I love it! I didn’t automatically see the name trend, I just saw three beautiful, classic names! I think they work wonderfully together, and the pattern isn’t too overwhelming at all.
I love sib-sets that are matchy! For me though, I like the [name_f]Lillian[/name_f] suggestion in place of [name_f]Hazel[/name_f].
What about [name_u]Juniper[/name_u]?
I love it to be honest, although I don’t love [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] as much as the other two. I agree with lexiem - [name_f]Violet[/name_f], [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] and [name_f]Lillian[/name_f] work a lot nicer 
I have [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Rosalind[/name_f] [name_f]May[/name_f] as a combination so I don’t think it’s too bad.
FWIW - my great grandmother was Lillian Vera, and her sister was Violet Edna. They also had a brother named Harold
They sound perfect together! Same style and feel. Really great sibset.
:D:D
I don't really like [name_f]Hazel[/name_f]. Reminds me of "witch" hazel. Choose another flower name. Good luck!
[name_m]Way[/name_m] too themey in my opinion. Plus [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] isn’t anywhere near as princessy or floral as the other two, so it stands out more than something like [name_f]Iris[/name_f] or even [name_f]Alice[/name_f] would.
I like it! I don’t see the problem with a theme. And they’re all lovely names.
I like the theme. Aesthetically the names are not too matchy and are themselves far apart. The matching is more so in meaning and symbolism. By this I mean it is not a sibset of [name_f]Lily[/name_f], [name_f]Rosey[/name_f], [name_f]Poppy[/name_f] which are floral and aesthetically match as all the names rhyme. The names as words themselves are very distinct from one another.
That being said I really like [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] and [name_f]Rose[/name_f] more than [name_f]Violet[/name_f] as I really so just see Violent.
