[Opinions] Simon and Joan
What do you think of this sibset?
**Starfish and coffee, maple syrup and jam/Butterscotch clouds, a tangerine, and a side order of ham**

I saw it as a married couple, 1930s, gloomily sitting outside their derelict cottage for the last time before packing the Ford and leaving the dustbowl for ever.
I'm warming up to Simon: it can be stylish and elegant, though that sigh at the start still bugs me. Joan is actually lovely: there are so many Joanne and Joanna people that it's a very nice surprise. And, unlike every Joanne and Joanna I've ever known, it would probably not shorten to Jo, which is a huge plus.

I like the names individually, but Simon seems much more modern than Joan. I actually doubt the same parents would choose both names, even with the nickname Joanie.
I think Simon is sweet, and Joan is old and frumpy. Together they sound vaguely religious.
It sounds like an old and tired married couple, not a fan
