Wonderful sibset! I like Brighton and love Mirabel (but prefer Mirabelle). I don't like Adelaide but I can see its appeal from someone else's POV. It matches the other names.

I think Adelaide and Mirabel are okay, though neither are 100% to my taste. I have never liked the 'adle' sound in any name, and the -aide ending makes it sound like a beverage to me. I like Mirabel the most out of the set, but I have never been huge on the ending -bel/-belle. I do think Mira is pretty, though. I don't like Brighton at all, it sounds like the name of a town to me, as all names with that ending do. Brighton does not work as a name in the slightest in my opinion. Overall, I would call the set somewhat interesting in variety, but mid in terms of the names themselves.

Very different! Brighton is a strange choice: OK, geographical names are fashionable, but one that shortens to Bright (as in: intelligent) seems a bit risky. Adelaide, to me, is more a city than a person, but it was a human name first, unlike Brighton. Mirabel is quite sweet, though I think I'd prefer Miranda.

Don't like any

It actually makes a lot of sense to me! I like the set.

I love Adelaide, prefer Mirabel as a middle name and don't care for Brighton.

All three are place names so I wonder if she had a sentimental reason for choosing them or if she just liked the names.
