Rhymey?
Recently I have discovered I quite like the sibset Ada, Clara, and Susannah. My problem is that I worry they are too rhymey. Do you see it as a problem?Also, is the name Ethne too similiar to the word ethnic to use?

I don't think they're rhymey. They work well together.Ethne does look like "ethnic". I don't find the name very attractive.

Too rhymey? I don't think they are. I think they make a lovely sibset.

I think Ada, Clara, and Susannah are lovely as a sibset not rhymey at all, they just end in the same sound. My only problem (and admittedly I'm weird) is that Ada is so much shorter than Susannah, like she got less of a name, silly I know, but I always feel that way when I make combos and one was shorter. Maybe it will help if the middle names were the correct length to equalize these three, for example:
Ada Clementine
Susannah Mary
Clara JosephineThen it's not so weird for me, as they more or less are equal in letters...

I don't think they're particualarly rhymey. Certainly not on par with anything like Ada, Jada, and Maida. The -a/-ah is a little bit repetitive, but not problematic, overly matchy, or rhymey in my opinion. I think Ada, Clara, and Susannah would be perfect for sisters.Ethne is close enough to ethnic (visually) that I wouldn't use it. If I loved the name, I'd opt for Eithne instead.

Not to me. I think the extra syllables/lengths takes care of that.
