HelpRe: What is a "mismatched sibset"
in reply to a message by Ali Hassan
They're considered mismatched because Josephine is feminine and classic, whereas Jordan on a girl is trendy, unisex, and modern. They're two entirely different styles.
I don't think it's too much of a big deal myself; I mean, if you love a name, I don't think you should worry too much if the names are the exact same style. I think some deviation could be interesting. However, in the case of Josephine and Jordan, a problem could be that, upon hearing the sibset, one would very likely assume Jordan to be a boy. Because the parents chose Josephine, feminine and beautiful, it would be hard for strangers to imagine that they'd name their other daughter Jordan, masculine and trendy. True, a Jordan could always be mistaken with the other gender, but I think it'd occur a lot more in a Josephine/Jordan set than in an Avery/Jordan set.
