[Opinions] Fantasy sibset names
I just got to a plot point where I had to figure out the sibling names of a main character in a fantasy novel.So we've got:Alayda (oldest sister)
Merryck (middle child)
Caspian (youngest brother)Aaand Alayda's granddaughter is named Yehanna, nn Hannu

I really like this sibset! If I had to point out a weak spot I think Merryck is just a bit strange with the 'y' (especially paired with Alayda). Makes the pronunciation confusing at first glance.Yehanna "Hannu" is my favorite, so cute! Is it a real name? Because it sounds like it could be.Overall I think they're unique enough without being too out there, nice job :)

Thanks! Merryck is one of the main characters, so I had to figure out the sibset around him. Yehanna is also my favorite! I was going off a Johanna and Hannu is already a diminutive of that in a couple languages :)
