Re: Maria and...?
in reply to a message by whim
Ah, Caspar and Maria would be an amazing sibset!I also quite like Maria and Rose. However, most of the names you listed match, because Maria is one of those versatile and lively names. Harriet would match the least of the girls, and Ralph of the boys though. Simply because they have the same dated feel, but not the timeless tone. They kind of bring Maria down, if that makes sense. If I were using Maria (and I would actually use Marie realistically), I would pair it with Josiane or Edgar. I also tend to think of Maria in very Italian terms, since I have so many Marias in my family. My Zia Maria has a twin brother named Nino - so those flow well for me.
I also have a dear cousin named Maria-Grazie... so Grace seems like a logical sibling to me as well.

After reading your opinion and others I definitely see how Ralph and Harriet dull Maria down.Josiane and Edgar would be amazing siblings to Maria. I honestly might steal the Josiane idea since it would honor my father, brother, and I all in one name. Okay, and probably Edgar to. But just because he's so funky! lol
