I don't like any of them. Elizabeth because it's so sibillant and boring, and the other two because they are so elderly. They definitely could be sisters, any combination of them, though a rather matchy-matchy set of sisters.

They're fine, albeit somewhat bland. I prefer Eveline / Edeline (unrelated), Elinor / Leonora, and Elisabeth / Elspeth respectively.

I like Elizabeth and Eleanor, but dislike Evelyn. To me it's so dumpy and I don't get its return to popularity.

---

To me, somehow Elizabeth, like Katherine, escapes the generic feeling of Mary and Jane, although all are popular classics. I think it's because I find Elizabeth and Katherine just more interesting visually and aurally.

---

Eleanor is fine, it's just not a big favorite of mine. It's way better than vanilla-pudding Wonder Bread Ellen, certainly.

---

Of the three, I like Elizabeth best.

---

Two of the three would work fine as siblings, but all three together is bordering on corny.

I think they will. I prefer the French spelling, Evelyne with a accent mark over the first E. Ellie could be short for Eleanor or Elizabeth. I do think Evelyn and Elizabeth are to common though

I actually prefer Evelyn (EEV-lin) on boys, like Evelyn Waugh, who wrote one of my favourite books. I never know what do with it on a girl, is it EV-ə-lin or EV-lin? I can certainly see the appeal, anyway, but I would prefer Eveline on a girl.

---

Eleanor is the name of a friend of mine and I do like it, but I prefer Nora and Leonora.

---

I also like Elizabeth, but do prefer Elisabeth or even just Eliza. The only Elizabeths I have ever known have gone by the full name, which is nice.

I like Evelyn best pronounced Ever-lyn

---

I think Elizabeth and Eleanor would be too close but other than that fine

---

I prefer Elisabeth and Elspeth

---

I prefer Eleanore and Eleanora

Evelyn and either Eleanor and Elizabeth would be fine as siblings. Eleanor and Elizabeth are too similar IMO.

---

As for the names themselves, I love Eleanor and would consider using it. Elizabeth is also great. You can never really go wrong with Elizabeth. I hate Evelyn a lot. It's harsh and unattractive sounding and it irritates me that it used to be a male name. I do love Eva and Eve, though.

I don't mind Evelyn, and I actively like Eleanor, Elinor and Elizabeth.

---

Evelyn and Elinor could work. In my opinion, Elizabeth is better as a mn (it's my daughter's mn) because it so seldom gets used in its full form. But, the same could be said for Evelyn. At least all Evelyn people become Eve - Elizabeth has too many potential nns, most of which I don't enjoy or am sick of.

I think they work fine as a set, as long as the last two don't both want to be Ellie.
Eleanor is the only one I like. Eve on its own is nice.

I love Evelyn and Eleanor! Elizabeth is boring to me since it's so overused.

I'm not a fan of giving siblings the same initials in most circumstances. Eleanor and Elizabeth have similar beginnings, but not too bad. Eleanor could be Ellie, Nellie or Nora and Elizabeth has a dozen nicknames different to those to choose from, so not really a problem in a sibset.

Evelyn and Elizabeth are great, but I'm not so keen on Eleanor. Mind you, I think all three names work well for sisters. I love a whole lot of E names, for girls and boys, so that's probably half the appeal for me. They could always go by nns too, like Eve, Nell and Lizzie, or some other combo.
