Replies
Isadora - Just pretty. But, Edith has been on my mind and I can't decide if it's too dated. It sounds kinda hip to me personally.
Esme - Frances almost won, and would have had it been Francesca. Esme is just sweet thought and my niece has the middle name Esmee, so I am biased.
Cecily - Just adorable
Cecily - see above
Beatrice - will always be one of my faves, though I like Beatrix slightly more.
Marguerite - if only I had such an awesome name myself!
Marguerite - see above. Charlotte is too common and Josephine would be better as Josefina. Personal opinion.
Maria - love this name. Really wish it wasnt so popular.
Helena -again, just classy.
Esme - Frances almost won, and would have had it been Francesca. Esme is just sweet thought and my niece has the middle name Esmee, so I am biased.
Cecily - Just adorable
Cecily - see above
Beatrice - will always be one of my faves, though I like Beatrix slightly more.
Marguerite - if only I had such an awesome name myself!
Marguerite - see above. Charlotte is too common and Josephine would be better as Josefina. Personal opinion.
Maria - love this name. Really wish it wasnt so popular.
Helena -again, just classy.
Frances, Isadora, and Esme - I LOVE Frances. I would prefer Frances, Isadora and Maud, but I like Frances more than Maud, so I went with this set.
Blythe, Cecily, and Gwendolyn- This just works better for me, I feel like Gwendolyn ties Blythe and Cecily together better than Rosalind (which I think makes Blythe stand out too much with the set)
Josephine, Marguerite, and Beatrice- just perfection. Elisabeth is sweet but too expected. Charlotte so common these days, though it does work well. But I just love Beatrice.
Emilia, Helena, and Diana- better balance with Helena. Maria makes Diana look like the odd lady out.
Blythe, Cecily, and Gwendolyn- This just works better for me, I feel like Gwendolyn ties Blythe and Cecily together better than Rosalind (which I think makes Blythe stand out too much with the set)

Edith, Isadora, and Maud
I prefer Edith to Frances and Maud to Esme. I also think E, I, and M all have a similar charm, but weightiness to them while Frances and Isadora leave Esme out as the floaty one.
Blythe, Cecily, and Rosalind
For me Cecily and Gwendolyn are a little close, and I don't love all the y's
Josephine, Marguerite, and Elisabeth
This one's a tough call; I like both. I just think this one has a bit more unity as a set then the other two, and I don't like how in the Charlotte set only Marguerite's name is not a female-form of a male name.
Emilia, Maria, and Diana
Tough call! They're both great. I prefer Maria as a name though.

Tough call! They're both great. I prefer Maria as a name though.
Edith, Isadora and Maud - but would actually prefer Edith, Maude, and Frances. Isadora feels too flowery next to the others. Plus Isadora and Esme are almost too similar sounding to me.
Blythe, Cecily and Gwendolyn - I like all the repeated "y's". Plus these three feel all bright and sunshiny; Rosalind has got a more sultry velvet, sort of vibe.
Josephine, Marguerite and Beatrice - all 3 classics but not as common as Elisabeth, which seems like the odd one out. Josephine, Margaret and Elisabeth would work though. Charlotte works ok but still feels a little too popular next too Josephine and Marguerite.
Emilia, Helena and Diana- only because I prefer Helena to Maria. Both sets work wonderfully.

Edith, Isadora, and Maud or Frances, Isadora, and Esme...
-Damn. For me, both of the sets have flaws, Maud in the first and Frances in the second, if I could swap Maud for Esme then it would be brilliant but I can see that you don't want two E's in the same set, though I don't think that's the end of the world. I'm going to go with the latter because I dislike Frances a tad less than I dislike Maud.
Blythe, Cecily, and Gwendolyn or Blythe, Cecily, and Rosalind...
-It's the first one for me. Usually I like Rose- names, but Rosalind just doesn't do it for me. Gwendolyn is much prettier and usable.
Josephine, Marguerite, and Beatrice or Josephine, Marguerite, and Elisabeth or Josephine, Marguerite, and Charlotte...
-The latter is out straight away because I hate Charlotte and I think it spoils Josephine and Marguerite. I think Beatrice because it is classic enough to fit but also unusual enough whereas, although Elisabeth is classic, it doesn't quite have that rough-diamond edge that the other do because it's been worn too much.
Emilia, Maria, and Diana or Emilia, Helena, and Diana...
-Lastly, the former set, hands down. Maria fits much better than Helena, plus I like it as a name individually, while I don't like Helena.

Edith, Isadora, and Maud
or
Frances, Isadora, and Esme
The first set. I don't like Esme at all, but do like Edith and Maud
Blythe, Cecily, and Gwendolyn
or
Blythe, Cecily, and Rosalind
The first set. Gwendolyn has a much more pleasing sound that the heavy, ugly Rosalind.
Josephine, Marguerite, and Beatrice
or
Josephine, Marguerite, and Elisabeth

Josephine, Marguerite, and Charlotte
The first set. I like Beatrice better than Elisabeth or Charlotte, although if it were Elizabeth then I might feel differently.

Emilia, Maria, and Diana
or
Emilia, Helena, and Diana
The first set. I don't like Helena at all, but do like Maria.
Frances, Isadora, and Esme. I like Frances much more than Edith and Maud, and not crazy about Esme but still find it better than Edith and Maud.
Blythe, Cecily, and Rosalind. This one was easy. I like Rosalind a lot but can't stand Gwendolyn. It's so clunky.
Joesphine, Marguerite, and Elisabeth. Easy again. I can't stand Beatrice or Charlotte.
Emilia, Helena, and Diana. Not a fan of Maria. Helena is okay.
Blythe, Cecily, and Rosalind. This one was easy. I like Rosalind a lot but can't stand Gwendolyn. It's so clunky.
Joesphine, Marguerite, and Elisabeth. Easy again. I can't stand Beatrice or Charlotte.
Emilia, Helena, and Diana. Not a fan of Maria. Helena is okay.
Edith, Isadora, and Maud
or
Frances, Isadora, and Esme
Frances, Isadora, and Esme have the same es or is sound, which makes them sound very similar and kind of run together.
Blythe, Cecily, and Gwendolyn
or
Blythe, Cecily, and Rosalind
Even though I prefer the name Gwendolyn to Rosalind, I think Rosalind suits the sibset better
Josephine, Marguerite, and Beatrice
or
Josephine, Marguerite, and Elisabeth
or
Josephine, Marguerite, and Charlotte
I just like it better
Emilia, Maria, and Diana
or
Emilia, Helena, and Diana
Emilia and Maria both end in -ia so they kind of rhyme. Helena and Diana also both end in -na, but they sound sound as rhymey to me.
