Help[Opinions] Twin sisters from the 1800s
Uranie and Susanie.
Found them in an old photo book. All are Americans.
Other noteworthy names are Alvah (male) and Chansonetta (female).
Of these, Chansonetta is my favorite.
Edit: Ah! Found the exact usage of Chansonetta as used in the book: https://www.behindthename.com/name/chansonetta/submitted

Uranie and Chansonetta are really interesting.
I don't like rhyming twin names.
Alva / Alvah used to be fairly popular for men in the US - random fact, Alva was Thomas Edison's middle name. I like it, and maybe it could come back, but right now it seems antiquated.

Apparently Uranie is the French form of Urania…I kind of like it! Uranie and Susanie have to be old timey Southern backwoods girls, I kind of like them, in their time and place.
Chansonetta is pretty fun and I like Alvah on a guy, it’s pretty.

Chansonette is really vintage-y cool!
Alvah is unusual for males. To me, the addition of an "h" makes it more feminine, not less!
Uranie and Susanie are not my style as full names. I like Urania and Susannah, so they may work as nicknames (though I pronounce them as You-ray-nee & Sue-zay-nee, for some reason)
