[Opinions] T(h)alia, Ada and Michael
Convincing as a sibset?EDIT: I was originally using Talia - is it convincing for a non-Jewish character?*"That cynicism you refer to I acquired the day I discovered I was different from little boys."

Thalia is rather unusual, compared to Michael and Ada, so I'd say it sticks out. Talia is convincing for a non-Jewish character, especially an Australian one.

Thank you!Thanks for the responses, everyone - I think I'll stick with Talia then :)

If I saw Talia, I'd think it was short for Natalia; which makes it pretty neutral as far as Jewishness is concerned.

Those go together really well! They would make an excellent sibset.

I think they work as siblings and Talia would work for a non Jewish character

Sure, why not. I've known several Talia/Thalia/Tahlia's, none of which have been Jewish. I think the Talia I knew was short for Natalia.

Thalia, Ada, and Michael sounds like a realistic sibset to me!Apparently I skipped the Talia for a non-Jewish character bit. Sorry! I definitely think it would work.
