[Opinions] Ianthe and Morgause
What do you think of a Ianthe and Morgause as a sister-set? (I'm not set on middle names, so if you're the ambitious type, please feel free to suggest some combos.) :)

I like Ianthe, but I've not seen Morgause before and honestly, being a nurse, all I can think of when I see it is "more gauze". :-/

I'm not sure how I feel about the sibset, but I think it could work nicely.I think Ianthe Morgause might be a good combo, haha. :)

I like both Ianthe and Morgause, I think they're very pretty. They sound okay as a sister set, and even though one is from Greek mythology and the other from Arthurian legend, I think it would be a bit tacky to have, say, two sisters named Morgause and Nimue, or Ianthe and Calypso. :) Here are some combos I thought of from looking at your names list and mine (there are several of the same names on both):Ianthe Blythe
Ianthe Elizabeth
Ianthe Fiona
Ianthe Gwendolen
Ianthe Igraine
Ianthe Margaret
Ianthe Minerva
Ianthe Rowan
Ianthe Sofia
Ianthe VivienMorgause Agatha
Morgause Edith
Morgause Irene
Morgause Elizabeth
Morgause Grainne
Morgause Lenore
Morgause Luciana
Morgause Roisin
Morgause Susannah

Ianthe is nice, but I think Iolanthe is gorgeous. I adore Morgause! It's one of my favorite Arthurian names. I think the sibset Iolanthe & Morgause is stunning!

Ianthe is ok but nms, and sorry, but I really don't care for Margause. Where does it come from? How do you pronounce it? Margaux would be much better.

Morgause comes from Arthurian mythology. She has been said to have been either Arthur's half-sister or his aunt. In some stories, she is said to be the mother of her half-brother's son, Mordred, in other, she fostered him for her sister, Morgana. The name is pronounced 'mor-GOHZ' and as for it's origins, my research leads me to believe that it's Breton.As for Margaux, I like it, but at the moment, not enough to consider using it.
