[Opinions] Farley and Cambria

Do Farley and Cambria work for two sisters? Any middle name ideas?

The surname Farleigh, in that spelling, is in the family tree and I do like that as well. But I wouldn't want people thinking it was just a trendy respelling. WDYT?

Thanks in advance :-)

(Edited for spelling.)

I really like Cambria. A lot. As for Farley...I like the idea, but I'm not crazy about that name. I would go for Finley. But the F name and the C name for sister, I like that. Very nice.

If they are sisters, I would guess one parent named one, and the other parent named the other. Or the parents have a wide and varied taste in names.

Farley is very masculine and surnamey. Cambria is very feminine and exotic.

I don't think that the names look good together at all. I don't like Farley for a girl. I would prefer to see Farleigh, but I just dislike the way it looks. I don't particularly like Cambria either (Cambrian period, Coheed & Cambria .... just too many associations with that). If I were to pick though, I would stick with Cambria and find something other than Farley.

I am really bad at coming up with middle names so I'll leave that to everyone else.

I like Cambria a lot, but Farley is way too masculine for my tastes. I don't think they work as sisters either.

I find both very weird & ugly, and Farley is boyish. Sorry...

I think Farley / Farleigh is too masculine-sounding to go well with Cambria. True, Farleigh is better imo because it looks more feminine than Farley, but it still sounds too boyish to me.

I like both names, but would prefer them on a brother/sister set instead of two sisters.

Umm, well I'm Irish and it reminds me of a Farleigh's Rusk (baby biscuits). It looks a bit pseudo Irish, but the name Farley is OK.
Cambria sounds like Cumbria, a region in UK, but........ it's different!

Hmm, I was a bit concerned about the Cumbria thing too :-) I live in Scotland, so near enough that everyone's heard of Cumbria before they've heard the name Cambria lol. It's something to think about.

I like Farley, it's a surname in my family too (but this spelling), I agree about the creative thing
Cambria just makes me thing of the region

I would prefer the Farleigh spelling since it is how the name was spelt in your family tree and it looks much more feminine to me. I'm not really of fan of the name but I do like family names. Cambria is okay but not one of my favorites by far. I think they were work well as siblings since they are both fairly unusual and have a funky style to them.
