Okay, give me your wild and crazy hypothetical sibsets. (m)
There was some discussion below about fantasy names and names you would use IRL, so I thought I would ask what you would name a sibset- three boys, three girls- if you didn't have to worry about whether the names were usable, liked by your partner, or realistic in ANY way. So, which names would you choose?
I probably won't have as interesting a list as others, but here is mine...
Sequoia
Balthazar
Wolfgang
Vladimira
Odile
Argentina (hey, it has a pretty sound, okay!?)
Willoughby wolloughby willina, an elephant sat on Billina.
Willoughby wolloughby wirfak, an elephant sat on Mirfak.

You can name three more for each gender, if you want. :)
I would totally use old man names that are way too attached to particular people to use in real life. For girls I would use names that I don't have the guts to use because 1) I don't have any of that ancestry or 2) they are just gutsy names.
Ichabod & Icarus (twins, naturally)
Ebenezer
Evinrude
Lazarus
Archimedes
Caratacus
Prometheus
Esmeralda
Esperanza
Viatrix
Guadalupe

Three cheers for Archimedes! Its nice to know I'm not the only one who likes this name.
Oh my goodness, I love this set so much! I am totally "hipster" when it comes to names obviously!!
I've never been to Glasgow, but I like the sound of it. LOVE Ephemera!
Thanks, I like Glasgow and Inverness but would never use them, lol.
Yes, Ephemera is so beautiful *-*

I don't think your male names are all that crazy. If you want to use them, I would! But, we all have our comfort zone, so I understand.
Haha, I mostly agree, but that's about as crazy as I get when it comes to boy names. :-p I'd love to use Santiago if I ever have children with a Spanish speaker or move to a Spanish-speaking country.
I'm just gonna theme name:
Gaspar
Melchior
Balthasar
Magdalene / Madeline
Bethany
Salome
Bonus: Mother's name is Mary (or Miriam) and father's is Orion.
I also like...
Hananiah
Mishael
Azariah
...but I can't think of a fitting set of female names for the sisters. All I've got is Hadassah.
But for a set of three sisters:
Alecto
Megaera
Tisiphone
And another:
Hera
Frigga
Inanna
Gaspar
Melchior
Balthasar
Magdalene / Madeline
Bethany
Salome
Bonus: Mother's name is Mary (or Miriam) and father's is Orion.

I happened to meet a little Bethlehem once, but when asked if she went by "Beth" her parents said no. I would have never thought it usable until I met one in real life.
Bethlehem is really quite lovely as a name. :)
