I'll admit, I like a lot of flower names. However, I've never liked Daisy. I just can't get the image out of my head of a dairy cow with a flower hat on her head. Sorry, but... I can't. I don't like Primrose, either, but not for any silly reasons like dairy cows - I just don't like the "prim" part.

---

That all said, Megan doesn't really fit with the other first names, but I like the name by itself. While I'm more partial to the spelling Meghan (I know the 'h' seems extra to a lot of people, but it makes the name look more complete to me), I prefer both spellings to the name Margaret. I like the nickname Meg, as well. I'm surprised, with the theme the sisters' names have, that her "affectionate" nickname isn't Nutmeg.

---

I do like Lydia and Sophia, but I don't understand why Eleanore has an 'e' at the end. Eleanor is not only the most common spelling, but it would've looked better with Violet. However, I wonder if Elinor Violet doesn't actually look the best...

---

I'm not fond of nicknames although I prefer Sophie over Sophia. I like the nature theme in the middle names. It's a nice sibset.

I think that between Megan being a very different style than the others and it being the only without a nickname, it stands out just too much.

---

I'd think that Meghan nn Meg would stand out less.

---

All the others are nice and the middle name theme is well-done.

Megan doesn't seem to jell with the rest of the names. I'm also not wild about the fact that Megan and Daisy are both nns for Margaret which WOULD complement Lydia, Eleanore and Sophia. WDYT of Margaret nn Meg or Megan?

---

As far as combos go, I find Lydia Ivy kind of difficult to say (all those vowels too close together), however, Eleanor Violet and Sophia Primrose sound great together.

---

ETA that I don't mind the flower theme in the middle at all. It's subtle.

I think Megan is majorly the odd one out. If you switched the combo order to Daisy Megan, it looks more cohesive with the set (without being too themey with the middle names, which irks me). Or change Megan to Margaret, Rita, or Greta. Megan is just so trendy-sporty next to the much more stolid classics of Lydia, Eleanor and Sophia.

---

Overall I like the sibset. However Megan, in my opinion, seems a little out of place with the other names.

Megan desn't seem to fit with Lydia, Eleanore, & Sophia.

---

I'm not a huge fan of the flowery/plant middle name theme.

---

I like Liddy, Ella, & Sophie as nicknames, though.

I like them all except Megan. Megan stands out like a sore thumb. I personally don't really care about sibsets going together, but since you asked about this as a sibset, I mention it. I like all of the other first names, but the E at the end of Eleanore rather bothers me. And if you want flowers/plants as middle names, sure why not? Themes are okay sometimes.

I love Sophia Primrose and Lydia Ivy. I think Eleanore Violet also fits well. Megan strikes me as out of place. It's traditional, but doesn't have the classic feel the other first names do. But there isn't anything wrong with the combo itself.

Lydia Ivy and Sophia Primrose are nice combos. I'd prefer Eleanore Violet if it were Eleanor Violet. Daisy is ok as a middle name, I'm not a big fan of Megan though.

Lovely! I'm glad they put the matching flowers in the middle spot, but it ties them all in well together.

---

I'm just a little disappointed about Megan because a) it sticks out like a sore thumb amongst the other vintage beauties, b) Daisy could be considered a variation of Margaret as well, and c) as a combo it doesn't flow very well. I'd have much preferred Marion Daisy or Margot Daisy.

a flower theme isn't really for me, but since they are middle names instead of first names, it's fine.

---

I like all the first names except for Megan. It stands out from the more old fashion, classic names. Plus, as a child born in the 80s, I know way too many Megans for me to ever consider using it. My first thought would be to use Margaret in stead, but seeing how Daisy is a nickname for Margaret, that wouldn't work. So perhaps Anna, Eliza or Catherine would be a better fit.

The botanical theme is making me sneeze.
I like the name Sophia okay, but the rest suck. Megan seems out of place with the other, more old-fashioned names.
