Cora and Juliet
An acquaintance of mine has a two girls named Cora and Juliet. It strikes me as a nice set even though neither name is a favorite. What do to think?What would you name a third sister or a brother?

Tidy teatime names. Juliet gets to wear the lace. Cora gets to pour the tea really carefully.I like Juliet a lot. Cora is warm and fine, understated and sorta pretty. A third... these are classic but distinct names, I think they want a Lenore next. Or an ... Albert. Risky choice cuz it's a little ugly. I'll say Edwin instead and they'd call him Win. Or Winston.

I like Juliet, but I'd be mor likely to use Julia in real life.
I would name a sibling either Rufus or Thea.

Hmm ... an acquaintance of mine has two granddaughters named Cora and Stella. Nothing will cure my intense dislike of Cora; Juliet is fine but Julie isn't. I'd prefer Coralie to Cora, and to most other names actually. Juliet and Coralie seem to go together better.Juliet, Coralie and Eleanor; Juliet, Coralie and Hildegard; Juliet, Coralie and Eloise.
Juliet, Coralie and Gregor; Juliet, Coralie and Adrian; Juliet, Coralie and William.

They're very pretty, and they complement each other perfectly.

Cora and Juliet match because they're both old-timey and pretty. And yet kind of tragic (I have my own personal association with Cora).
A third daughter would be Louise. Cora, Juliet, Louise.
For a first son, Alfred. Cora, Juliet and Alfred.

They do sound like they could be sisters.
Cora I have never liked, it sounds ugly and frumpy. Juliet is okay but kind of prissy. I like Julie better.I would imagine siblings named Theodore (called Theo) and Isabelle.

It reminds me of ballerinas, coral pink and romantic.
Helene came to mind first.
Then Eloise, Elise, Elowen, Eowyn.
Sabine, Seraphine, Evangeline, Marjorie, Lillian, Irene, Vivienne.
Or a nature/flower/virtue name would fit...
Ivy, Iris, Rose, Rosemary, Primrose, Azalea, Daisy, Marigold, Zinnia, Saffron, Willow, Hazel, Holly, Savannah, Pearl, Opal, Topaz, Temperance, Patience, Hope...
Any classic/popular masculine would work for a brother. Felix, Gabriel, Benjamin maybe, or something kind of sensitive/serious like Francis, Octavian, Yves, or a nature related name: Robin, River, Rowan, Oleander, Peregrine, Brooks. Or something romantic like Tristan.Cora, Juliet, Willow, and Peregrine.

Helene is absolutely perfect with them.

Cora feels a bit more serious than Juliet but it's definitely an interesting pair. For a brother I'd say Emmett for a sister I'd say Hazel, Stella or possibly Florence.

Cora and Juliet do sound very pretty for sisters, I like it a lot. I think Cora, Juliet and Olive or Cora, Juliet and Pearl sound nice for three sisters. Cora, Juliet and Rex or Cora, Juliet and Leon would work for siblings too.
