Ivy and Olive
Are Ivy and Olive too close for a sibset?
What do you think of the names on their own and how do you feel about this sibset:Ivy Jemima
Olive Madeleine
Edith Francesca
Martha EvangelineI find it hard to match classic/old fashioned names with middle names any suggestions?

I love the name Ivy, but not a fan of Olive. I just can't get past the food association! I do think they are a little too similar for siblings. Ivy Jemima is a beautiful combo! I also love Edith Francesca and Martha. Madeleine is also nice.

I actually think they're not close enough for a sibset. They give me totally different vibes.
I love Ivy; I only occasionally like Olive.
I like the sibset alltogether, although personally I would change Madeleine to Magdalene and Jemima to Jessica, Artemisia, or something with a similar feel.

I don't think they are too close, I love them together, so crisp and refreshing!I love all the first names you listed, but not really feeling any of the combos. Olive goes well with Ivy, Leisel, and Xanthe, but I don't think that Edith or Martha fit in with the other names at all. And I wouldn't use Olive Madeleine if you already have a Nola Madeline...

Maybe a little, but because Ivy is your first born and there are few others between, I don't think it would be so bad. If it were only Ivy and Olive then maybe it would be too close, but in your case I'd go for it if you really love it. Olivie Madeleine is lovely and the sibset is adorable. I really like Ivy and Edith. :)
