I like Isolde and have grown to appreciate Winifred, which is my Grandmother's name. I would more likely use Winifred as a middle name. However I can't say these names really work in a sibset. I feel Isolde has a luminous womanly feel, and Winifred has more of an off-beat, "attractive because it's not so pretty" feel to it.

Oh my gosh, I love love love it! They're both so strong, lovely medieval princessy. Aaaaamazing.

I prefer Isobel over Isolde, Isobel and Winifred work better I think.

Winifred and Isolde would be a beautiful set, very well matched. Both names have a harsh, heavy sound that is somehow balanced by a light hearted airiness.

I think they complement each other quite well! I love Winifred.

I'm going to have to disagree with the others so far. I think the names are wonderful on their own but Isolde has this softer, romantic feel to it while Winifred is spunky and independent. For me, I like siblings to have names that have the same feel to them.

Yes, I think they work beautifully for siblings.

Isolde and Winifred work as siblings for me.

---

(1) They both transport me back in time, to Celtic Ireland and Wales.

---

(2) There's something about Isolde that makes me think of winter. Winifred / Winnie / winter falls right in line with that.

---

(3) I have a thing for female "i" and "w" names. They are so rare they seem to belong together.

---

(4) Izzy / Zoe (?) and Winnie make a cute pair.

I think they look beautiful together. Isolde is a touch more "out there", but it is still lovely and compliments Winifred beautifully. It's also nice to see over Isabelle (Though Isobel and Winifred are gorgeous together).

Also Izzie and Winnie or Izzie and Fred = too cute to handle!
