Hello. I have been wracking my brain trying to find names for a set of characters to honor the Alcott sisters. I have posted on this site before and it seems as though I have not been able to come up with a set where even one person thinks the names sound good together. I have tried using their names as middle names and people think they are boring and then when I try to use variations people prefer the original names. I DO NOT want to use the original names as they are too common for my taste. Also, sorry if I am sounding ungrateful or blunt but I hope you can understand my frustration of not getting any positive feedback. I don't expect a set that is perfect but at least a set that people keep pointing out the same things. What sibling name suggestions do you guys have?The Alcott sisters names are...
Anna
Louisa
Elizabeth
and Abigail

Anna: Anaïs, Anika, Anna Maria, Annabel, Annamaria, Annemarie, Annika, Marian, Marianna, Marianne
Louisa: not related, but maybe Eloise?
Elizabeth: Eliza, Ella, Elsie, Isabel, Isobel, Liesel, Lilian, Liliana, Lillian
Abigail: that one perplexes me - how about Felicity, with the similar joyous meaning?

They make a pretty sibling set. They could work in nearly any time period. Ren is an interesting nickname for Florence. Usually, I just think of Flora, but Ren is spicier.

Are these characters living in the same time period as the Alcott sisters or are you writing a contemporary story?

They live in the modern-day United States. I have thought of their parents possibly being lovers of literature. And yes, it is a contemporary story.

Well you could use the same initial as original name, use the original name as a middle name, or use completely new "classic" vibe names or you could use "modern/trendy" names.Some options:
Anna - Alice
Louisa - Lucinda or Lucy
Elizabeth - Eleanor
Abigail - AmeliaAnna - Ava
Louisa - Layla / Laila / Lilah or Lily
Elizabeth - Ella or Emily or Emma
Abigail - Alexis or Ashley or Alyssa or AveryFrances Anna "Frankie"
Sibyl Louisa "Billie"
Charlotte Elizabeth "Charlie"
Olivia Abigail "Ollie"Charlotte
Evelyn
Sophia
Camila / Camilla / Camille
