Emily, sister to Amelia.-> If you have an Amelia why would you name the next one Emily?! It makes no sense to me. Way way too similar.
Flora Grace, sister to Dominic. -> I like both of them. How refreshing.
Kitty Fleur, sister to Oliver. -> Poor girl. She won't even have a middle name to fall back on. What were they thinking? Oliver's nice though.
Daniel John, brother to Joseph.-> How original. Did they think these ones up themselves? *sigh* I know I sound mean but they're just so generic.
Isabella Coco de Lisle, sister to Emilienne and Robert-> I like it. Maybe because our mothers have the same name? Haha, no I really like it.
Ria Liberty-> Don't like Ria. Don't like Liberty.
Joshua Emmanuel Benjamin, brother to Francesco-> Okay, I'll admit it; it's not bad. But I prefer Francesca, as a girl's name. The male version doesn't do it for me.
Sian Elizabether, sister to Luke-> Je l'adore! Really, they're both so nice.
Ruaraidh Richard-> Wow, I wonder what the other five were...
Daniel, brother to William and Charles-> Now, remember the generic thing I was talking about?
Alastair Thomas William-> The William feels out of place. It should have come before Thomas. Other than that, fine.
Flora Grace, sister to Dominic. -> I like both of them. How refreshing.
Kitty Fleur, sister to Oliver. -> Poor girl. She won't even have a middle name to fall back on. What were they thinking? Oliver's nice though.

Emily - Chronically overused, and too close to her sister Amelia's name
Flora Grace - I think of the margerine when I hear Flora, but it's dated in a cute way; Grace is just a filler, nothing much to say there.
Kitty Fleur - Kitty is not formal name material imo.
Inigo Robert Trevithick - Inigo is cool; Robert is extra boring alongside it
Daniel John - Yawn!
Isabella Coco de Lisle - Would be OK without the Coco bit. "De Lisle" is very pretentious but might be a family name.
Ria Liberty - nice
Joshua Emmanuel Benjamin - Joshua is too popular, and I dislike that all 3 names are Biblical - there should be more variety! The combo is also much too long. 3, 4 and 3 syllables, it's too much.
Sian Elizabeth - Just so-so, not very interesting.
Ruaraidh Richard - I love the fn; the mn is boring.
Daniel - Boring, as are his brothers' names.
Alastair Thomas William - Yawn!

On the whole, I'm never a huge fan of Times announcements names. Some of these names are nice (I love Daniel and Joseph for brothers), but on the whole they're a little OTT for my tastes. I think Emily and Amelia are way too close for sisters, Kitty Fleur sounds like a character from a story or something, Ruaraidh Richard is quite a mouthful (as well as a feat to pronounce if they're living outside Scotland!), and I'm surprised that Coco appeared twice. Inigo and Coco is the kind of sibset that would get beaten up without a doubt in the kind of places I've lived. Emilienne is quite pretty, but again too OTT for me.

Flora Grace, a sister for Dominic - Ooh, love this sibset!
Kitty Fleur, a sister for Oliver - Ahh, well, too cute. Prefer Katherine Fleur. I love Oliver too.

Daniel John, a brother for Joseph - Love Daniel, like Joseph.
Isabella Coco de Lisle, a sister for Emilienne and Robert - Ehh? It's pretentious. I prefer Isabel de Lisle. Pretty.
