I like Anne very much! It's good to see it with an -e on the end. Where I live, Kaya means a house, or more usually a shack. Darla looks made up (indeed, it was made up, and didn't catch on too well) and combined with Belle could be a failed country singer. Harmony? No. Not a name, and there are better ways to give a child a name with a positive meaning. Nicole isn't bad but I find Nicola much fresher and more energetic: that O sound at the end makes the corners of the mouth droop.

What about:
Kathleen Anne
Dinah Bellamy
Helen Nicola

---

Mmmm I'd like Harmony, Belle and Anne as a trio better.

---

I like Kaia spelled thusly, but Kaya Anne does bleed into itself to become "cayenne" like. Nicole is a little flat and tired. Darla is a bit bumpkiny, but in a charming Little Rascal's way, but paired with Belle it sounds pretty one-dimensional.

---

If these three were mine, I'd tweak it to:

---

Anne Katharina
Belle Daria
Harmony Nicola

Darla is not my style, so I can't get into the whole triplet thing, sorry. Darla is only a hop, skip and a jump away from dreaded Darlene ~~shudders~~. (*shakes it off*) Could I interest you in Daria instead?

I love Kaia, this spelling only. Kaya reminds me of a kayak and I'm not sure if I'm supposed to pronounce it with a long "a" or long "i" sound. With Kaia ("KIE-uh") I know where I stand. Kaia Anne is OK, but I'd prefer a mn that didn't start with a vowel sound. Kaia Anne is starting me to think of cayenne pepper . . . .

Harmony Nicole is nice. Very nice indeed. My combo for H. is Harmony Aurelia ("o-RAY-lee-uh") which you are welcome to if you like. And thank you for not suggesting Harmony Belle. That would have been beyond cheesey.
