Gretchen, Astrid and Maud would be better imo.
Bridget seems the odd one out, but maybe that is because it is considered cute and pudgy here (yes, pudgy, I imagine a blond pig-tailed gal with massive cheeks).

To me, Maude is totally ugly and without charm. Gretchen isn't ugly to me, and it's the name that puts me in mind of a chubby blonde girl with fat cheeks and pigtails and a pinafore dress. Bridget seems now to be a fairly upper-crust Irish name in the US, more popular a generation ago than it is now. It always made me think of a kind of sad, sullen, disheveled kind of girl.
Gretchen, Heidi and Marie make a cute sister set.
Maude would be sisters with Ethel and Hilda.
Bridget would be sisters with Colleen and Kathryn.

Ha, my name is Heidi (well, Heidi-Joy)and I would love to have a sister named Gretchen. Marie would be the odd one out there, even though it matches well, for the origin. I would guess that Gretchen, Heidi and Marise would work better. Though - that was a good set.
Maude, Ethel and Hilda are dead on - though Helen, Edna or Blanche would fit too.
Bridget and Colleen... I seriously know a sibset. No idea if there is a Kathryn in the family though.
Maude is hard to place because it's becoming hip, so my previous opinion that it was fuddy-duddy is being currently redefined.
Gretchen is just so foreign for my small town, but it's slowing becoming sexy-european.

the one Gretchen I knew ...
Was a cute little black dachshund.
But there was a pretty girl named Greta who used to live across the street from my parents-in-law.
