I found a sibset of 10 from the early 1900s recently. Their names were:
Ozro Dodge
Joyce
Vance
Burrus
Allegra
Dorothy
Kennetha
Macklin
Mark
Lowell

What do you think?

Oh, I love how clunky and unseemly Kennetha is! Kennethina would also be great.

Dorothy Allegra would be a lovely combination.

Wow. Just: wow. My socks have been blown off.

Ozro Dodge, Burrus and Kennetha are the stand-outs, and Dorothy and Mark must have felt atypically ordinary - perhaps Lowell too.

You don't have any idea of the parents' names, do you?

The parents were called Augusta and Willard. I found the subset on a family tree, which had a lot of out of the ordinary names.

Most of these aren't doing it for me, but I love love love Allegra. Not sure why, but it's so delicate and fairy like.

Ozro Dodge - sounds like a SUV
Joyce - not a fan
Vance - makes me think of "in advance"
Burrus - apparently an old Roman name, but I think of the Spanish word for donkey (burro)
Allegra - love it
Dorothy - OK, but I prefer Dorothea
Kennetha - ick
Macklin - sounds like mackerel
Mark - not a fan
Lowell - more of a surname to me
