Help[Opinions] Joseph and Maria
Right now I'm obsessed with the names Joseph and Maria. Do you think they're okay as siblings or a bit too themey (we are Catholic afterall, lol.) My other two children are named Sarah and Simon (the S theme wasn't intentional!) and we'd like one or two more children, so it's possible I'd have Sarah, Simon, Joseph and Maria.
What do you think? Would it make a difference if it was Mary instead of Maria (I'm not sure what dh thinks of Maria and he refuses to talk about names unless I'm pregnant, lol.)

Joseph and Maria are nice, but i wouldn't suggest Joseph and Mary. When I saw Joseph and Maria the first thing I thought of was Jesus' mother and earthly father. The fact that they were married makes them a bit unuseable as siblings in my opinion. Because I noticed it with Maria Joseph and Mary would be too much. Maybe if Joseph or Mary was in the middle spot, but otherwise (espescially with consecutive siblings) it is a bit too much.
by the way I love Simon and Sarah.

I immediately thought of Catholicism when I saw the names, but that doesn't mean they are bad names. Besides, not everyone is going to make the same connection.
