Matchy sibsets and family names

[fleckerbug.livejournal.com]

What do you think of Rose and Ruby?

Would Rose, Ruby, and Scarlett just be too much? Less odd if those weren't all first names?

*edit* Is Ruby a pretty name or do you envision a chubby little girl getting made fun of, or that weird nondescript animal kid's show character?




Would you use a lot of names from one side of the family but not from the other? Do you think that might create bad feelings? We happen to love a lot of my family's names, but not very many of his and I worry about offending someone. We did accidentally use his great-grandmother's name as a second first name for our daughter, so I guess we have our bases kinda covered.
