Help[Opinions] 11 Siblings from Article
No judging giant sibling set, please!
So I came across this article a while ago about a family with 11 kids that did a special shoutout in their local paper for their school after the youngest graduated.
The siblings’ names were (from oldest to youngest): Hannah, Greer, Hugh, Meredith, Abby, Owen, Bronwyn, Gideon, Hope, Simeon, Isaac. Parents’ names were Greg and Angela. I’m sure Abby and Greg were short for Abigail and Gregory.
WDYT?

Hannah, Abby, Hope: vaguely sweet/cute but common and not particularly interesting.
Greer, Hugh: unattractive sounds. Greer in particular doesn't even sound like a name to me.
Meredith: pretty but mature. Abigail fits with Meredith while Abby fits with Hannah and Hope.
Bronwyn: I like it but prefer Bronwen
Gideon, Simeon: I like them both but they're FAR too rhymey for brothers.
Owen: common but I like it
Isaac: too common to feel like anything, doesn't have a very attractive sound.
I'd switch out a few names to get:
Anna, Rohan, Conor, Meredith, Laurel, Owen, Bronwen, Gideon, Helena, Simon, Isaiah.
(I tried to keep something from the original names but not repeat any initials and some of them are just completely new names. But Anna, Bronwen, Simon, and Isaiah are based on the corresponding names from the sibset and I kept Meredith, Gideon, and Owen.)

Hi!
The whole family is better than I'd expected but I see two different branches: the Biblical one and the Celtic/Medieval one. I prefer the second one.
love: Greer Meredith Owen Hope
Like: Hugh Bronwyn Isaac Gregory
Neutral: Hannah Abigail Gideon Simeon Angela Greg
Dislike: Abby
My favourite here is Greer because it's so unusual but very charming with also a rough vibe. Great unisex name.

Probably the best large family set I have seen, tbh.

Likewise. I don’t love all the names but they’re all fine, there’s no cutesy themes or kr8tiv concoctions as seems to be sometimes the case?

Relatively tame names for a Utah family, though I don't know their religious affiliation.

The article mentions they were from another state.

Greer, Hope & Isaac are okay
