I'm really surprised they're not saint names, if I saw that sibset without any context I would think Protestant. Names like Mary, Gabriel, and Elizabeth are common but I feel like Francis, Therese / Theresa, Anne, John, James, etc are a lot more common Catholic names than names like Ezekiel, Isaiah, Tobias Hannah, etc which weren't really used until after the Protestant Reformation. Not that Catholics don't have those names, but for a stricter Catholic family I would have expected them to be more traditional. Still nice though over all.
