I like the names, but Ingrid doesn’t seem to fit.

Interesting. Unexpected. I really like it. It's very stylish.

I LOVE it.
I love love love Ingrid and Claudia. They’re a bit austere together but Daphne lightens the set,

Ingrid & Daphne are nice, Claudia & Daphne could work, but the three together have too many thudding D sounds. Claudia on its own is heavy, but, when paired with Ingrid and Daphne, it is like someone slamming doors or dropping books.

Claudia and Daphne do sound like sisters, but Ingrid doesn't at all. Ingrid might be their Swedish au pair. Claudia and Daphne do sound posh and upper-crust, coldly and arrogantly so, actually. Ingrid sounds just plain clenched-teeth angry.

Ingrid and Claudia go well together - they feel cold and aristocratic. Daphne's just as posh, but much warmer. They all have contentious sounds - Ingrid is gritty, Claudia has the dreaded "clod" sound, many people think Daphne sounds silly. So we don't want a name that's almost self-consciously silky and smooth, like Julia. Claudia and Daphne are very posh and WASPish, so since we don't want two British names and two cosmopolitan names, we'll have to eliminate the likes of Astrid. And since we don't want the set to sound glum, we have to eliminate names like the mournful Opal.

I actually think Daphne is the odd one out. It’s soft and feels like laughter, whereas the others are heavier and more stately. I like all three names, though.

I don't think Ingrid fits, it's a lovely name though. I don't like Claudia

Ingrid really doesn't fit. The other two are fine together. Silvana could work; or Lucina or Maia perhaps?

I LOVE IT! It's a bit cheerless though. Daphne is the only bright spot.

Ingrid sort of sticks out to me.
