Oriana & Ambrose
I found these two down as a fictional sib set on another site. WDYT of them as siblings and on their own?Don’t take criticism from someone you wouldn’t take advice from

Love, love, love Oriana. Such a gorgeous name.Ambrose is nice. A bit vampy. I would save it for literature.I think they work well together sound wise but I also feel like they have completely different vibes. They seem mismatched, like they weren't named by the sane parents.ETA: I think something like Oriana and Auberon would work much better.

I like both names but I wouldn't pair them together. Ambrose has a serious and down-to-earth sort of vibe and Oriana is an frilly, otherworldly, fairy princess. With Ambrose, I think something like Edith, Mabel or Lucille would be better.For Oriana, extragant names like Raphael, Lorenzo or Balthasar would suit her better.

They seem to go well together. They have the vibe of being something that middle class people think rich people would name their children.

I like the names, and I think Ambrose elevates Oriana a little. Not that Oriana isn't good, but it sounds more like a 'regular person name' than Ambrose does. Pairing them together brings out Oriana's dramatic side.

I don't like either name and they don't really work as a sibset

They've both got that 'Look at me-e-e!' element about them. Quite a good fictional sibset, then, but I wouldn't enjoy it IRL.

I like them, especially Oriana!
