Fun sibset, though I don't think Embla fits. The others all have big "Ancient Rome" energy (even if they're Greek or Persian in origin), whereas Embla is a Viking name.

I love Lysander, Olympia, and Balthazar (this spelling). They work together exceptionally well as a sibset. Embla and Vita are too simple in comparison. I'd delegate them to another set.

I don’t like any of them. It sounds like the parents are trying so hard to be unique. Half of them are hard to pronounce.

Do you think they are hard to pronounce? They are fairly easy to pronounce spellings I would think. Embla is a bit of an awkward tongue twist though.

Lysander is nice. I'll have to pass on the rest.

Hey I know their parents! I'd personally use Olympia or Vita, but not the others. I do like them all, but there a bit "much" for my personal taste.

I could do without Vita and Embla, but other than that it's not bad. A bit extravagant, but not bad.

All these names are random but Vita seems the most ordinary.

Nothing there that I'd use or recommend. If the parents wanted 'unusual' then they achieved it. If they were trying to do their kids a favour, then I'm afraid they did no such thing. The boys are bad enough, but embarrassing Embla, limp Olympia and vitality-enhancing Vita are simply dreadful. I do hope all the children have mainstream mns.

Parents are desperately trying to be unique and it sounds forced. Did not like any.

This is an objectively cool sibset. I particularly like Lysander and Balthasar. They go together so well for some reason.
