I love Arthur and Eloise, and I'm developing a crush on Eva. Rose is nice, and Ottilie is whimsical. It is a nice set, I agree. Very British.

Not all of them are my taste but the sibset as a whole is really nice. I agree they did a good job.

Love: Rose & Eloise

Like: Arthur

I love all those names. The parents definitely picked well.

I prefer Eve to Eva, but I'd like it better as a nn for Evelyn rather than a full name in its own right.
Arthur is a good name; tricky for toddlers to pronounce, but they get over it.
Rose and Eloise are surprising together, probably because of the matching -se endings. Rose is sweet and bland and forgettable; Eloise has been a favourite since a school friend had a little sister with that name. And there are two 60s pop songs, one 'Eloise' and the other 'Dear Eloise', I think, which is odd because it wasn't a popular name at the time.
Ottilie does nothing for me at all. Its pronunciation issues don't help - oh TEEL ya, OT il ee - I far prefer Odile, and I greatly enjoy Tilly as a nn, but only for Matilda.

I like all of the aforementioned siblings names. Arthur I don't love but it is fine. Ottilie isn't attractive to me and I'm not sure why, because I like Otto and Ottavia. I think the sound is awkward to me is what it is. Or similarities to Oddity.

Polite, British, respectable.
