[Opinions] If you had to name a sibset repeating initials, what would you go with?
Coat-tailing my recent post about the sibset Jubilee Jude and Valeria Valor, I wanted to explore a unique naming pattern. While I’m generally not a fan of double initials due to their repetitive nature, which often doesn’t appeal to me visually or auditorily, I thought it would be interesting to take this concept further.
Imagine creating a sibset of 2 to 4 children where not only do the initials repeat (e.g., J.J. or V.V.), but the first 2–3 letters of the first and middle names also match. For example, siblings can have different initials, like Jubilee Jude and Valeria Valor, but each child's first and middle name should follow the described pattern.
What would you name such a sibset? I'd love to hear your ideas! I will add my own shortly.
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.

Adelia Adrasteia
Amelie Amaryllis
Clarissa Clover
Claudia Clarity
Elodie Electra
Elsa Elowen
Enid Endellion
Leatrice Lela
Melisanda Maelys (I just realized was cheating.. changed spelling to Mealys??)
Ophelia Opal
Sapphira Sarai
Veronika Veda
Winika Winter
Zelina Zéphine
Osiris Oswell
Asterion Ash
Alastair Alaric
Astrophel Asher
Bastian Basil
Branwell Branimir
Caspian Casimir
Jasper James
Trevelyan Tristan
Just so we are clear... none of these are super appealing to me together as pairs even those the individuals are all on my lists. This is probably my most painful voluntary lineup to date.
