Help[Opinions] Sibsets
I've got a couple of sibsets in oneof my WIPs and I was wondering what you think of them.
Set One:
Hannah
Damon
Alastor
Reuben (adopted and came with the name)
Set Two:
Jono (actually John but no one calls him that)
Hugo
Rory
Jono is actually only half-brother to the other two.

Hannah - Really like this but it's too common.
Damon - NMS but it's okay.
Alastor - NMS but I don't mind it.
Reuben - NMS - don't really like it.
Jono - John - I like John. Jono's an interesting nn.
Hugo - Kind of cool. I don't love it but it's interesting.

Damon - NMS but it's okay.

I'd like set one better if it were spelt Alistair or Alastair. The names work together, I think.
Jono looks like a typo for Juno. I'm not crazy about it, but if it's a nn or whatever, I guess it's fine. I've never been one for sibsets with names of the same length, so having three four-letter names in a set is nms. I guess they feel similar though, so they work.

Alastor is spelt the way it is for a reason, specifically as a sort of joke. In Greek mythology Alastor was the name of a spirit of vengence and after christianity came along it was changed to a demon. Given that my Alastor has a brother named Damon (one letter away from demon) is seemed appropriate in a very weird way, plus the word play fits in the context of the story.
