Message: "Adelaide, Cordelia and Estella"

[Opinions] Adelaide, Cordelia and Estella

My husband has been in a good mood lately. I'm not sure if he is just humouring me, but he told me that he likes Adelaide, Cordelia and Estella. I was just wondering what everyone thought of these as a sibset, what names would be good for their brothers and the main point, what names do you think would make good middle names for Adelaide, Cordelia and Estella.

My husband is not predictable so the more suggestions the merrier and I wouldn't mind some that diverge from my style. He likes Mariana and Celestine, if you want to use those as a starting point.

Thanks a lot everyone!

Of what nationality are you? If you are American, all of those names particularly stink.

My point is that if you choose humongously hard names to spell, your child will be so frustrated in kindergarten when learning how to spell it!

"Stink" does not = "difficult to spell" :-/

I LOVE all 3 names and think they go together wonderful for sisters. :)

MN's could be (mix & match) Beatrice, Pearl, Patience, Celeste (I like this better than Celestine, which makes me think of the Philistines :b), Frances, Georgette, Iris, Ingrid, Louise/Eloise, Violet, Harriet.
