[Opinions] Mara and Dulce
I've been thinking about these two names.
Mara means 'bitter' and Dulce means 'sweet.'
Would Mara Dulce or Dulce Mara be an interesting combo, or for sisters in a story?
(I'm not expecting or anything, I'm just wondering if it's interesting.)

They're nice names. But I'm not sure they flow well as a combo. They'd be kinda cool for sisters, though.
It's funny, but I have always preffered the name Mara. I think it would be an interresting name for a story sibset, especially if the traits were reversed. (eg. If Mara were really sweet and nice and Dulce were bitter and twisted)

I think it would be interesting in a story. In real life, I don't care for Dulce but Mara is pretty. :)
I think that Dulce Maria is a common combination in Spanish. Maria means sea of bitterness. I can see it as a combo.
How are you pronouncing Dulce? I love Dulcie ("DUL-see"), as a nn for Dulcinea. It's so cute and I love the meaning. But I'm not sure how Dulce is supposed to be said. "DOOL-say," "DOOL-thay," "DUL-see" or another way?
As for siblings, I give the thumbs up for Mara and Dulce. I love both names. Mara is gorgeous and I've already stated how I feel about Dulce / Dulcie. Subtle themes like the one you propose are great. What's not to love?
