[Opinions] Sibset
One of my bunnies, Penny, got a new home today. The new owners are Madeleine and Josef, and their two kids Alina and Lennox.WDYT? I like Alina, but both names were very unexpected to me. I had expected some traditional/upper class names.
Let us step into the night and pursue that flighty temptress, adventure. PNL: http://www.behindthename.com/pnl/45898

Madeleine and Josef are both boringLOVEE Alina. Its the perfect name in my opinion.
Lennox sounds great but I hate the way the x looks at the end.Okay as a sibset for real life I think but I do agree it looks a bit weird at first

I think Madeleine, Josef, and Alina have a very different feel - they're a lot more elegant and flowy than the spunky Lennox. However, I don't think it matters that they don't match. Outside of books, I don't think it's important for families to ensure matched names if it's not important to them (though there's absolutely nothing wrong with wanting to make sure that they do match if it is important to them). I don't think it all quite fits, but I don't think they have to. I hope they all have fun with Penny!

Madeleine: not my cup of tea. I find Magdalene much prettier.
Josef: dull.
Alina: it doesn't seem unexpected to me, since I'm Polish. It's the name of a character in a famous Polish play by Juliusz Słowacki, "Balladyna", who is murdered by her sister. It's okay, in my opinion.
Lennox: sounds cool and relaxed. I love the x sound, and even though I usually dislike masculine names on girls, I think Lennox works equally well on either gender.

Hi Ninor !!!I dislike Alina & Lennox as a sibset for two reasons:
1 the L and N are in both names make them matchy
2 the names are too different: Alina is a diminutive but very traditional, Lennox is surnamey, unisex and modern.I like Penny (as full name). Madeleine and Alina are old-faves. They are pretty but I would not use them in real life.
