HelpRe: Literary sib-set
in reply to a message by Jagoda
Cosette comes across as creepy to me in an old-fashioned, sickeningly sweet way, like being called poppet would sound, to me.
My only associations for Lorna are lovelorn, Lorna "Polaris" from X-men, and Krevlornswath of the Deathwok Clan, so I imagine a green-haired geek who enjoys karaoke bars, comic books, and tragic romances.
My main associations for Quincey are John Quincy Adams and porcupines (wince + quills? I guess), and apparently I like them, because I'm fond of Quincey.
Bennet seems pleasantly nondescript. It comes across as a compromise between Benjamin and Beckett, but I think it's a cool name on its own merits.
As a sibset:
-Lorna and Quincey are adorkable together.
-I feel like Bennet could fit in with most names, but -et and -ette together bugs me a little.
-The only one that I would assume on sight was a reference (and even then, I'd think it was inspired by the movie) is Cosette.
