Perdita is pretty in a 19th-century Western romance novel kind of way.
Honeysuckels, well, it sucks.
Rollo sounds like a big fat guy. And also like those little chocolate-covered caramel candies that look like tiny dog turds.

Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you criticize him, you're a mile away and you have his shoes!

Rollo

I could be wrong so someone please correct me. But I think Rollo is pronounced, "RAH-lo," not "RO-lo" like the candy. Rollo could still remind one of the candy so it may not make any difference. I just thought I'd mention it in case it did.

I'd expect Americans to use an AH sound for the o in both Rollo and Rolo, though I've never actually heard one doing it. As a non-American, I use OH for both.
