[Opinions] Sibset
I just heard of a sibset Eleanor, Oliver, Martha, Louisa and Arthur. I cannot explain my delight with this. I wish I knew their middle names. WDYT?

Very 19th century. But they all fit so well together!

Ohh, gorgeous sibset!

Good taste. All of the names are strong, yet not too frequently used classics. They are complementary in that none begin with the same letter, and all of them are of near-equal length (Elinor would have been better). Excellent composition.

Very sweet, though to be honest the only name I actually like in this set is Eleanor.

Sounds like siblings from a classic English novel. I reminds me of the Chronicles of Narnia :).

Very classy. Good names.

Arthur and Martha as sibs seems a bit harsh! Or perhaps it's OK elsewhere, but where I live, if one is in a state of great confusion it is possible to say, for instance, I don't know if I'm Arthur or Martha in trigonometry".I like Eleanor and Oliver a lot, and would enjoy Louise much more than Louisa. I don't mind Arthur at all, and I actually abominate Martha though when it's pronounced like Marta it's almost OK.

Ooh, I share your enthusiasm! The only name I'm not wild about is Martha and even it works here.

It is a nice set. Arthur is not a fave of mine and Eleanor is ok, but I love the other names. The names do work well together though.

They sound like either members of the Golden Age Bridge and Travel Club, or like a passel of pasty-faced, over-enriched gated community kids.

I don't like the boys' names, but overall the sibset has a lot of charm.

I love this. So sweet. Sometimes I want a big family just so I can name them like a family from an Austen novel (but then I'm like, nah) I mean, Lydia is nice, but Lydia, Arthur, Edward and Elizabeth are just delightful.

Not my cup of tea. I've neverliked Louisa, I prefer the spelling of Elinor and Arthur seems mismatched. But - it's still far better than my usual spottings of names like Nixon, Hero, Titan, Atlas, etc.

I like Eleanor, Louisa, and Arthur.The set is pretty awesome. All classics and none of them tired, at least not in the US. It does bother me that Martha and Arthur might rhyme in some accents.

Wow. That is amazing!! Oliver doesn't do it for me as much as the others.
