[Opinions] Juliet, Cecilia and Caroline
What do you think of the sibset Juliet, Cecilia and Caroline ? And the names individually?There's actually a theme going on here; they're names from songs.

Oh, Cecilia by The Vamps
Sweet Caroline by Neil DiamondWhat would you name a sibset if you had to use names from songs?English Au Pair in Massachusetts with https://www.aupairinamerica.com/

It’s a beautiful sibset. Juliet and Cecilia have actually been on my mind lately. Particularly, I’ve always liked Juliet but I thought it was too delicate and maybe not usable for me. I used to prefer Juliette for years but I’ve come back around to Juliet and I think I’ll stick to it.Cecilia and Caroline I’ve always really liked too.

Juliet used to be one of my favorites, and I still really enjoy it (though Julia is more practical, imo).Never liked Cecilia, sorry. It gives me a frilly and whiny impression. I think the shorter Celia is much better. Also, I used to love Cecily, but sometimes I find it too soft now.Caroline is a name I'm supposed to like, given my tastes, but I cannot shake the snobbish impression I get from it, especially if the bearer doesn't use a nickname (Carrie, Caro, etc.). It's like I immediately envision Caroline Bingley every time I hear the name - even though I had this impression long before I ever read Pride & Prejudice.As a sibset, these sisters sound quite Victorian.Edit: I just noticed the last question of the OP. If I had to use only names from songs:Juliet, like in the OP (though I'm not actually familiar with that song)
Jane ("Jane Says")
Penelope ("Penelope" by Pinback)

I love all three of these names. My cat is named Cecilia (after the Simon & Garfunkel song) and my other cat, Genevieve, is also named after a song: "Tear Stained Eye" by Son Volt, which has the name Genevieve in the chorus. Just a few days ago I was musing on whether anyone has ever named their pets "Vera, Chuck, & Dave" after the Beatles song "When I'm 64." More possible Beatles songs sibsets:Anna, Sadie, & Martha
Valerie & Desmond
Eleanor & Joan
Nancy, Michelle, & Rita
Loretta & Maxwell
Molly, Pam, & Lizzy

CarolineI like Juliet and Caroline together, but I far prefer Cecily to Cecilia. Though, a colleague's fiance named his car Cecilia after the Simon and Garfunkel song because it kept letting him down ...

I! LOVE! OH CECILIA!!! lol okay, end fangirling...Anyway, I'd use some of my favorite name-songs, of course!Arabella, Olivia-Mae, and Jade. They're songs by the Arctic Monkeys, Brett Young, and Mike Posner.Honorable mentions go to One Direction's Olivia and their other song called Diana.

Hi !!!I love the music-theme and I would be happy to use this criteria.I dislike the names individually eccept of Juliet.Juliet is elegant, beautiful, ageless and evergreen. It is refined and romantic.
