Re: Literary sib-set
I like them all, the boys names more than the girls. I think they all fit together okay but would almost bebetter as two sibsets: Cosette and Bennet (fit in well with current trends, soft, more likely to be immediately recognized as literary) and Lorna and Quincey (unexpected, quirky, more subtle literary theme). Thinking about it, I’m really digging just Lorna and Quincey together. Maybe this is just my own ignorance but I only learned fairly recently that Lorna Doone was a book. It just makes me think of the cookies lol.http://www.behindthename.com/pnl/87410

I was actually thinking that Cosette and Bennet, and Lorna and Quincey sound better as separate sets! Personally I like the girls’ names more, but I prefer girls’ names to boys’ generally. I think Lorna and Cosette might work well as a set by themselves too, but I’m not sure. I didn’t know there were Lorna Doone cookies! I looked them up, and I guess it makes sense that they’re shortbread and the Doones were Scottish.

Hell yeah! My old dog Lorna was named after the cookies bc yellow fur.
