[Opinions] British sibset
I have created a British sibset:
Eleanor Amelia Catherine Eugenie
Florence Louisa Henrietta Imogen
Clementine Elizabeth Cecilia Jane
Jemima Beatrice Victoria Emmeline
What do you think of these names? Do you think that they sound "British"?
Do you like the sibset, what would you change? What other names could also fit ?
Eleanor Amelia Catherine Eugenie
Florence Louisa Henrietta Imogen
Clementine Elizabeth Cecilia Jane
Jemima Beatrice Victoria Emmeline

I think they all sound pretty British, except maybe for Jemima and Clementine. Three middle names is a bit much though. If I were to change it, I'd make it this:
Eleanor Amelia Catherine
Florence Louisa Imogen
Elizabeth Cecilia Jane
Beatrice Victoria Emmeline
Other names that would fit in:
Alice, Primrose, Lucy, Emilia, Mary, Johanna, Rose, Beth, Lillian, Margaret, Eliza, Adelaide, Adele, Elaine

I prefer three to four names in the combo - four is overdone.
I would ditch Eugenie, Florence, Clementine, and Beatrice.

I don't think they necessarily sound British. I just think they sound old fashioned.
Also, in my opinion three middle names is just way too much. None of those seem like combos, they just seem like random lists of names.
Individually I like:
Eugenie
Florence
Henrietta
Cecilia Jane - great together
Jemima
Beatrice - love this

(i'm from the UK) People here usually have two first names. Three is less common, though still fairly normal; but four first names is practically unheard of outside the royal family. So I'd choose two-name or three-name combos.
The names themselves are all fine individually and could quite comfortably belong to children being born anywhere in the UK right now, although Eugenie is really unusual here and I wouldn't say it was a typical English name, and Jane isn't popular either, as it's seen as dated.
Sempiternitas has already covered most of the names that would fit with those you already have. I'd add Julia, Matilda and maybe Emilia.

I'm from Britain and Eleanor, Florence, Clementine and Jemima are quite common names here, though, save Eleanor, not hugely popular. I like all four combos; all the names are rather "British" and work together very well. Though I'm yet to meet someone with three MNs.
Names of my friends that I consider rather "British":
Isabella
Harriet
Lucy
Abigail
Alexandra
Camilla
Alice
Annabel
Charlotte
Sophia
Rebecca
Caroline
Emily
Helena
Lydia
Philippa
Olivia
Emma
Francesca
Georgia/Georgina
Joanna
