[Opinions] Sibset in a BA. Eh...?

I was reading the local BA's this morning and saw an ad for a baby girl adopted from China.

The girl got the first name Ann-Marie, which is pretty enough, IMO. But then I read the ad a little bit further, and saw the names of little Ann-Marie's older sisters - Anniina, Annukka, and Annika.

How... creative.

WDYT? While I do think the names are perfectly fine individually, I can't help but dislike the set. I thik the names are far too similar. It would be OK if they used these names as their middle names, but isn't it a little bit confusing to have four girls with such similar first names in the same household?

Wow. They must reallllly like the name Anne. Or be realllly uncreative.

Terrible, IMO.

Ugh. With all the names in the world to choose from.... I think it's tacky to name children in the same set with such similar names, or even versions of the same name, etc.

I like Ann-Marie, but not for a baby. I would use the first name as Anne and the middle name Marie. As for her sisters, Anina is okay but not Anniina, because Ann is in the new baby's first name. Annukka and Annika are too closely related.

I'd probably prounounce Annukka and Annika almost the same. I think it'd get confusing.

Annukka is pronounced ahn-NOOK-kuh, and Annika is pronounced ahn-NICK-uh, so they're not entirely the same, sound-wise, but ridicilously close anyways.

I love Annemarie and adore Anamaria. I also like Annika, but I very much dislike this sibset. Were they all adopted from China? If so then I really dislike it because they are all trying to be kept the same, which I very much dislike.

It didn't say in the ad whether the other children were from from China (or adopted. Could've been biological children, too).

I totally agree. It'd be like having sisters named Roselyn, Rosamund Rosemary and Rosanne! Way too confusing!
