Subset of the larger brood? :0P Sorry. Couldn't resist. Olympia is unapologetically fabulous. Nickname Lily-O? I prefer Fortunata to Fortuna. But both are fun.As siblings? Definitely the same grand style.

Cool in theory, but a bit too pompous to be used for real. Would be cool for two horses, though.

I think they go together well. I believe many people would probably see them as quite grand, so they work. I personally absolutely love Olympia, so much energy and brightness, and Fortuna is interesting too, although it comes across as slightly heavy and imposing to me for some reason.

They go really well together. I love Fortuna. Olympia I like the look of written down but when you say it, it sounds a bit lumpen to me

I like Olympia. Fortuna is too Close to the word 'fortune'. The meaning is lovely but it doesn't work so well as a Name. I think I would use them for characters but not in real life. Olympia is definitely usable, she could also go by Ollie or Pia. I know a woman named Olympia who is in her 50s, she has a sister named Christiana and another named Marianna.

Olympia is kind of cool, but it might be too much name IRL. The right person would have to pull it off. Fortuna is the name of a town to me. I can't see it on a person.

They sound like cargo ships. The Fortuna was hijacked by Somali pirates and the Olympia leaked a lot of oil into the Gulf of Mexico.
