Names for siblings

I like Aidan, Emily and Alyssa the most, though I prefer Aiden/Emilia/Amelia/Alissa.
Anders, Sophie and Ronan are OK.
I really dislike the harsh pronunciation of Anders.
Sophie is a little old fashioned to me, therefore I prefer Sofia/Sophia which I really like!
Ronan may have a nice sound, but I think it's quite boring.
I dislike Declan and Kaitlyn/Kaitlin. Declan is like a priest's name and Kaitlin no matter which spelling is so over-used. And I especially don't like the fact that there are SO many different spellings of this name. I can't even decide whether I like or dislike Kaitlin or Kaitlyn more. They're both equally lame, sorry.
When it comes to the question whether I think a sibset is matching, I usually look for the names' origin. To me there is nothing worse than matching an Irish name with a Spanish one or an Italian with a purely German name. That's just wrong.
Therefore I say Aidan, Declan, Ronan, Emily, Alyssa and Sophie make up the best match.
Anders doesn't really go with any of the other names since it has a very different (Nordish) origin.

In my honest opinion: Anders sticks out by a mile. The other names are all classic and well known with I feel that Anders is more surname turned first name fad. (Not that I have a problem with surname inspired names. In fact, I am personally a fan of many) anders just sticks out; I can't really explain the reason in further detail, it just does.the rest go great together
I think a name like Andy would fit in more. Aidan, Emily, Andy, Alyssa. Declan, Sophie, Ronan & Kaitlyn (I normally hate Y spellings; Kaitlin just doesn't look as nice)

There are a lot of A-names there: Aidan, Anders, Alyssa. Could get confusing with initials.
Aidan - I love this name, but I'm annoyed it's so popular now. It is, however, my (much) preferred spelling out of Aidan, Aden, Aiden, Adyn, Ayden, etc.
Ronan - kind of love this name, though it makes me think of Ronan the Accuser from 'Guardians of the Galaxy'.
Emily, Sophie, Alyssa, and Kaitlyn / Kaitlin feel very "normal" next to Ronan and Anders. Sort of like the whole Aerith and Bob trope. Declan feels like it's in its own little "quirky" category.
Kaitlyn vs Kaitlin: I prefer Kaitlyn, but only by a little; Kaitlin is fine too. What about Caitlyn as as spelling?

Glad to know you found my feedback helpful. :)
Caitlyn is probably my favoured spelling, but I think the "original" spelling in this case is Caitlín? Which could be really difficult to actually use, given the accented spelling. I've spent my whole life spelling both my first and last names for people, but I imagine it would be extra awkward having to explain the accent. But anyway, I do like both Kaitlyn and Kaitlin. :)
