sib set

There's an artist I relaly like and her name is Promise (and I am pretty sure that is her real name) and well I saw she had a sister and her name is Aimee and I think Promise and Aimee (Loved in French) make a nice sibset. WDYT?

I disagree. It makes me think, were their parents high when they named Promise, but not Aimee?

Aimee seems 100% normal to me, and I like it. Promise is just...eck.

lol, I kinda agree, but I see the naming "point".

I'm not a big fan of Promise but I really like Aimee. I'm not usually a fan of different spellings but I really like it for some reason.

Ohhh is it pronounced like amie? I like that a lot, actually.

I love the name Aimee (so much it's my daughter's name) and thought it was a really nice way to spell it.

Promise on the other hand, not a fan at all.

I like Promise. Sounds like a virtue name to me, and those are my new favorite kind.

I was on a virtue name kick for a while.

Too bad there aren't many good boy names that fall in that category (the only one I've found that could be remotely usable - but is only a guilty pleasure name for me - is Creedence)

No, because Promise is horrible. XP
I don't really like Aimee either.

No, because they are both awful.
