Help[Opinions] Triplets
Saw a sibset recently with three triplet girls named Odette, Celine, and Emmeline. WDYT?
Personally, even though I am not a lover of all the names I think the sibset is beautiful.

I love it! Triplets are so uncommon and those are beautiful names.

I don't have a problem with the individual names, but together, they sound hopelessly stuck up. I would feel scruffy and gross in these girls' presence.

What a beautiful triplet set!! They are complimentary while also allowing for their own individual identities. Love it!

Even though I’m not sure on the names individually, they don’t sound bad as a sibset.

I prefer Odile to Odette, and if they'd been my triplets and someone held a gun to my head, or to theirs, I'd have changed the names somewhat. Emily rather than Emmeline, certainly; Odile rather than Odette; and I'm not sure what I'd have done about Celine: Celia perhaps, or even Sally.
How do people pronounce Emmeline in the US? A A Milne rhymed Emmeline with 'seen' and 'green' and 'queen', and that's what I grew up with. If he'd wanted to, he could have rhymed it with Caroline and written a different poem, but he went with what was clearly the default version in the 1920s or whenever!

I don't like that two of the names have the same ending and the third doesn't. I'd make Celine Celia. All lovely names, though.

I like Odette, would prefer Emmaline, don't like Celine and don't like the same ending

I like those names individually, but not together as a triplet sibset.

All beautiful names individually, not so sure about Celine & Emmeline together. If it’s -leen & -line it’s ok, if they are both -leen it’s awful.

Rhyming would definitely be bad, but I feel having the same spelled endings there in a set together with different pronunciations is just awkward.

It's really pretty. I like the names together. I think Celine is pronounced Suh-leen and Emmeline is pronounced Em-muh-line. It keeps those two names from sounding too similar. Beautifully named!
