[Opinions] Unique Sibset sitting: Valeria and Jubilee
Met a little girl sibset that I thought people would be intrigued by while getting my lunch. The baby was called "Vivi" and I asked if she was a "Vivian" and the mom explained she was a Valeria (Va-LAIR-ia) Valor. The older sister, "Juju" was a Jubilee Jude. What do you think of this? I think that the matching FN MN pairs are a little odd... but I do like the originality of the set and I do mildly like it.Please rate my "Names I would Use" list & "Backup Favorites" list. Feel free to rate some of my other lists too if you have the time.

I don't like the middle names paired with the first names. Valeria is pretty, Jubilee is a gp and kind of cool to hear on a real person.
Jubilee I like on a theoretical level and I don't WANT to like it in real life.. but it is still a bit of a gp for me too. I don't love it but it is kind of cute / sweet
That’s a weird combination. Valeria and Vivian are nice, really don’t care for Jubilee.
Jubilee Jude "Juju" and Valeria Valor "Vivi"? Yikes. Are these children or sideshow performers. Valeria and Jude would have been cool.Jubilee Jude makes me think of Zoobilee Zoo, a show I used to watch as a little kid. Wow, blast from the past.I used to think Jubilee was a great name when I was 12 and had an X-men obsession.
Valeria is lovely, but pairing it with Valor is redundant. Jubilee isn't my cup of tea, but it is buoyant and fun. I think it is interesting what virtue/descriptive names people are drawn too. At least Jude isn't a repeat of the first name like Judith Jude. Valeria and Jubilee make a nice sibling set, but I'd much rather be named Valeria than Jubilee.

Agreed, I would much prefer to be Valeria than Jubilee, personally.
Jubilee should not be a name in my opinion. Valeria is ok.
Let me make sure: Valeria Valor gives rise to the nn Vivi? Just initials, no doubt, but really they could have done better: Valerie Victoria would have worked just as well without that repeated Val-Val, not to mention the repeated meaning. Juju = Jubilee Jude is also startling: some British kids were named Jubilee when the late Queen had her one, but this one surely can't be a nonce name? And when I see Jude I don't give Judith a thought, being too busy singing Hey Jude in my head. Na-na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na, hey Jude ... OK, I'll stop now, I promise.
Likewise, I think a few other ideas might have been slightly more desirable to Jubilee Jude specifically, but I don't entirely hate it. I'm not a fan of double initials, but if I had to stick with it to get "Juju" for them, I might have gone with Julia Jubilee or Judith Jubilee and made Jubilee the middle instead. If it was leaning more heavily into my taste but still had that criteria, she would have been Juliana Juniper, so it's probably for the best she's not my child, lmao XD
Right, I was a bit confused by that too. I think, logically, Valeria Valor would give way to "Vava" instead of "Vivi"? But Americans are pretty fast and lose when it comes to switching out vowels in names and nicknames, so I'm not surprised. I think a few more different combinations might have been a better fit to arrive to the "Vivi" nickname, if that was the objective with the older sister having the nickname "Juju"
