A. Pretty sweet namesB. Honestly I wouldn't think much of everythingC. Well that's a bit much isn't it? And there are much better nature names if they needed a theme. Come on, Peach?D. Would definitely assume Scandinavian origin or decent, would be rather charmedE. Well they got bored of it by the end didn't theyF. How can I get this person in a remedial course on how to give good names to your children

A. Trendy-vintage. Not a bad subset but none of these names do it for me.
Ruby
Stella
AdaB. Doesn't really sound like a family who are massively into names, though I like Lily. Jason threw me off a bit, until I saw that it's still around number 100 in the US popularity list, and still in the top 200 where I live.
Matthew
Jason
LilyC. I... don't really know what to make of this sibset. Petal and Peach have a really cutesy sound (think Jamie Oliver's kids) and then Canyon has a more hipster lumberjack 2012 feel. Even though these are all nature word names, they don't match each other well at all.
Petal (g)
Peach (g)
Canyon (b)D. These names collectively sound like a really American take on Scandinavian names.
Odin
Thorin
Magnus
StellanE. Very royal, Victorian or Edwardian sounding. They sound like the kind of girls whose parents work in education or in a museum; they live in a big house, they all play violin and/or piano, do ballet, etc... Probably live in or around London, or maybe the US East Coast.
Henrietta
Marguerite
Alexandrina
Victoria
Sophia
MaryF. This is a slightly more extreme version of that photo that went viral of the woman standing by a chalkboard of names. Just hearing them out loud they sound okay if not my style at all, except for Klayvey, which sounds like something I would think I misheard at first.

A) I'd assume the parents were educated and upper middle class, and tried to choose vintage, uncommon but not unheard of names for their daughters, but ended up choosing quite popular ones. I like all three names moderately.
B) probably a quite boring, but nice family, who probably chose the names to honour someone or just because they liked the sound of them.
C) hippy parents, or celebrities.
D) probably have some distant Scandinavian roots. Nice names.
E) British or Anglophiles, probably obsessed with the royal family.
F) poor, poor children. I pity them.

Hi Billina !!!Your sibsets seem very stereotyped: the Victorian combo, the hippie one, the kreatyve one... Often real sibsets are more mixed.Let me see...A) I think that parents love simple names with a neat meaning. I like all them alone and together they make an elegant sibset.B) Parents like established, common-used, traditional names. I only like Lily. If I met them I would be bored. Very flat sibset.C) Creative, alternative, hippie-style combo. I dislike that Peach and Petal are so similar. If it were Canyon, Petal and Hawk (example) it would be better! I like this style but with more established nature-names.D) Lovely if I'm from Norway or Sweden. I like them all.E) genuine Victorian style here. I would be delighted. F) Parents don't care if their children will be teased everywhere they go. This sibset is worse than Petal-Peach-Canyon because those names are unusual but with a meaning while these ones seem just uneducated.

A) Very 1920s. Stella is my favorite. Ruby is a bit tawdry, and Ada is the most dated. A nice sibling set overall.
Ruby
Stella
AdaB) Normal, unexceptional
Matthew
Jason
LilyC) That escalated quickly. I keep imagining a flower petal and a peach falling off the Grand Canyon.
Petal (g) - fragile, cutsey, and she didn't even get a whole flower.
Peach (g)

Canyon (b) - The best of the lot, but I wouldn't want to be named for a deep gouge in the ground. D) - 100% would love to meet. I admire their nerdiness and chutzpah to actually go with their favorites.
Odin
Thorin
Magnus
StellanE) Very nice, classical, with a touch of sophistication. I imagine that their parents like books and probably went to college.
Henrietta
Marguerite
Alexandrina
Victoria
Sophia
MaryF) Kooper was the lucky one. Their parents had a desire to be unique, but they didn't bother to actually find uncommon names for children one and two, and then they decided to use vaguely popular trends for three and four and make up the spellings.

A) On trend but too cute for me.
Ruby
Stella
AdaB) Parents are standard citizens and didn't look far down the name lists, or can't think outside the box, or chose popular names on purpose, or all of the above. Meh.
Matthew
Jason
LilyC) Parents are hipsters or actual hippies.
Petal (g)
Peach (g)
Canyon (b)D) The parents are of (or are fans of) viking culture. Handsome names.
Odin
Thorin
Magnus
StellanE) The parents like classic, royal-sounding names. Sounds like a set of princesses, not my style.
Henrietta
Marguerite
Alexandrina
Victoria
Sophia
MaryF) I wouldn't be able to disguise the cringe, the cringe would be real and all over my face. I would then give them a name dictionary so they could learn how to spell if they decided to have any more kids (hopefully not)!
Kooper (b) - at least it's on a boy, I know a creative spelling of Cooper on a girl :(
Quyntyn (b)
Klayvey (b) - what is this one anyway???
Blakesleigh (g)

A) is cute, I'm not fond of Stella thoughB) sounds like the average kids where I live. I love Matthew and Lily, Jason is up for debateC) I'm not a fan, Petal and Peach sound more like cute nicknames and won't suit them well into adulthood. Canyon I've never considered as a name before... It'd go with River and Willow I guess, but I'm not sure about itD) Not a fan of any of these names but they're not the worst E) I like Alexandria, Victoria and Sophia. Mary, Henrietta and Marguerite sound too dated. However, I think Alexandria, Victoria, Marguerite and Henrietta goes well together, Sophia perhaps, but Mary is too short in comparisonF) I would be horrified.

Just a small nitpick, but it's Alexandrina, not Alexandria. Does that change your opinion, of the name?

Oh sorry and not by much, while I prefer Alexandria, I seem to like literally every variation of Alexander. I still stand by my comment as it has pretty much the same feel and aesthetics
