I like these names, particularly Eve. Pairing them together on human siblings would be odd. I think it's fine for animals. Evie is very popular as a nickname. If you care about popularity, don't use Eve.

Nah, too tacky. They're married too and that would be weird for siblings to be named after a couple.

I have a cousin in his 40’s named Adam and honestly, I’ve never really liked the name that much. The sound just doesn’t appeal to me, like so many other biblical names do. Eve on the other hand, I love! I’ve always thought it was such a beautiful, yet simple name. I guess it’s beautiful in it’s simplicity. I would use Eve.I wouldn’t like them together for siblings, that would be weird.

I like them both, but yes, pairing them would be weird, and also, Adam seems like a dad name to me right now.

I'm an echo of everyone else. I like Adam and Eve separately. It would be kind of cute for people who were best friends or dating, but it sounds oddly romantic for a brother and sister. It would be even worse if they were twins. They need individual names that are not interrelated. The sibset shows no originality, or consideration for the children's futures. People are mean, y'know? They think incest is hilarious.

Adam is trite and tired. Eve is elegant and serene. Not a good match, even before factoring in the Book of Genesis.

I love both names, but as a sibset it would be EXTREMELY weird.Even Adam and Evangeline, or Evelyn, would be weird...

Individually, both names are very nice. I especially like Eve; it is simple, earthy, and feminine with a certain zest to it. Adam is a solid choice although not a favorite of mine. If a couple got together who just so happened to be named Adam and Eve, that would be a neat coincidence. Naming siblings Adam and Eve would be weird if not creepy. As a rule, siblings shouldn't be given the names of famous spouses or lovers. It is better to avoid the impression of being into the Lannister nonsense.If you took in two unrelated cats or dogs, Adam and Eve might work for their names if you really wanted them to be matching.

Yes, pairing them would be weird. I love Eve, but Adam is only so-so to me.

This. The only reason I can come up with that some parents would call their children this is that the parents were devoted Christians that really don't care about how the name sounds, and they just liked the biblical meaning behind them.

Devoted Christians would be particularly aware that naming siblings after Adam and Eve is weird, though.

I agree with everyone else. Great names individually, terrible for siblings/

They're both nice names individually, but pairing them for siblings would be really silly. Hokey, corny, trying-to-be-clever, matchy-matchy.

They are nice separately, but together is a horrible idea. I can smell the incest jokes from a mile away.

They are both nice names on their own, but pairing them would be a bit odd for the same reasons that siblings named Romeo and Juliet would be odd...

I think it would be weird to pair them. Nice individually
