The names are all right on their own though neither is my style. But they are like Cabbage Patch doll names, which were randomly generated and often bizarrely paired. Peggy is very mid-20th-century, while Skylynn is not really any different style-wise from the despised Oaklynn. Together it's like pairing a 1950s poodle skirt with a sequinned bralette. Or like pairing homey macaroni and cheese and banana pudding with a "hamburger" that's not just meatless but actually made of plastic.
