I really like Elaine. I don't like Percival or Lancelot because they sound too medeival, but thats why they work as a sibset, and of course, they are from legends so thats why they sound "old".
I don't know legends well, but I like:
Orion
Lucas
Arthur
Rigel
Tristan
Kai

---

Fiona
Elaine
Callisto
Calliope
Penelope
Persephone

I thought the lady of the lake was either Vivienne or Nimue, there are a few characters called Elaine but not the lady of the lake. And a couple of them did, um, unsisterly things regarding Lancelot...

---

I'd do:

---

Gawain
Kai
Morgana

---

Gwydion
Taliesin
Olwen

---

Merlin
Owain
Isolde

---

Or LOTR--
Peregrin
Theoden (Theo)
Arwen

Okay set, tho' not a fan of Lancelot would have used Arthur there instead.

---

Legendary set might be
Robin
Marian
Will

---

Or

---

Owain
Madoc
Ceridwen

WDYT of this set?
Percival is definitely my favourite of this lot - I once tried to get my aunt to name her baby Percival lol. I like Elaine if it's pronounced
ee-LAY-n. Lancelot is okay, but not my style.

If you had to name your children after a book or legend what would you choose?
Anne of Green Gables - Gilbert & Marilla
From Maori mythology - Hinemoa (f), Ikaroa (f), Rangi) (u), Tangaroa (m), Kiwa (m)

I like the set, and I like the reference/association even more.

---

I'm into Arthurian legend names right now, so I'd probably choose something like this:

---

Tristan
Arthur
Olwen

---

or this:

---

Lionel
Emrys
Vivien

---

I also like Sherlock Holmes, so maybe

---

Sherlock
James
Violet

I don't really like matchy names for siblings now, but as a kid I used to want to name my children (some combination of) Vega, Deneb, Altair, and Rigel, which are all names of stars.

Arista
Lucas
Madeleine
Gideon

---

From Rubinrot or Ruby Red as the novel is known in English.

Bernard
Harry
Fiona

---

I'd prefer Francis, nn Frank if unavoidable, or Richard rather than Dicky, to Harry but I don't like two sibs with matching initials or rhyming endings. My source is Len Deighton: the Game, Set, Match, Hook, Line, Sinker and Faith, Hope, Charity trilogies.

ETA Percival is a family name but not even that can make me warm up to it. Lancelot is ambitious but Lance is stale and dated. Elaine is probably my least favourite form of Helen. Not a sibset I'd endorse, therefore.
