[Opinions] Siblings from online
Three sisters I came across online were called Sunday, Demitra and Eliana. What do you think of these names, individually and together?
If you had to name three sisters so that:
1- a day of the week or month of the year (or any other word for a moment in time)
2- a variant of a name from mythology (or just a name from mythology if that’s too difficult)
3- a name with multiple different submissions on BtN
how would you name them?
:)

Love Eliana. Sunday is meh. Demitra is good with Demi was a good nickname. Ellie and Demi work, not sure about Sunday.

Eliana Ruth
Sunday is a guilty pleasure. Not a fan of the day, but can appreciate the imagery of a summer dessert Demitra is okay, inferior to the unrelated Demetria. Eliana is pretty but I might prefer Elianna.

2 - Callisto
3 - Mara

I'm with Wordsmith regarding how the names were potentially chosen, that theory makes sense (especially since, aurally, the names don't go together). In the past I liked Eliana, but now I find the name too liquid and insubstantial. Sunday seems corny to me, though I actually knew a Sundae in high school (she used to tell people her name was "like the ice cream, not the day" regarding spelling). Demitra is the only one of the three I actually like, though I'm more partial to Demetria.1. Eve. If that doesn't count, then Avril.
2. Faydra.
3. Vera.Eve, Faydra & Vera; or Avril, Faydra & Vera
I like Eliana and the names don't go well together
I think that's a cool sibset!April, Kalliope, Cadence
I don't care for Sunday or Demitra, but Eliana is alright!1- Verna
2- Celine (Selene)
3- Tania(These names may not go together [sound-wise or style-wise], but I do enjoy them.)
How odd! Seeing Sunday and Demitra alongside one another made me think of (Orthodox) religious day names such as Paraskeve (Friday) and Nedelya (Sunday)—I wonder if the family belongs to an Eastern Orthodox culture and opted for the translated Sunday for ease of use in an English-speaking country. I despise Eliana...May, Leda, Inga
