HelpJack, Maeve, Linnea and Eamon?
do you think they work well as a sib set? I think I've finally found the perfect names but what do you think? What are some possible individual set backs to each name and what sort of person do you imagine for each?
thanks! Oh...and sorry that I've posted this so much

Linnea is absolutely lovely. Sweet and underused.
As for Jack, well, at least it's not Jackson. But seriously, this name is so popular right now it's not even funny. There are little boys named Jack everywhere.
I've never liked the name Eamon. It just seems to have a limp kind of sound. I much prefer the English version, Edmund.
Maeve reminds me of a character in a children's book I like who's an evil enchantress. It also screams trying too hard to be Irish.

"It also screams trying too hard to be Irish."
I can't really try to be something that I already am....I have always loved the name Maeve and just because Irish names are "in" now doesn't deter me from naming my children something that reflects their heritage and mine

I think all of these names are great. Linnea to me seems a little out of place but not so much that it's at all awkward or should be changed. I think they go together very well and are just really nice names.
"...I have for the first time found what I can truly love--I have found you. You are my sympathy--my better self--my good angel--I am bound to you with a strong attachment. I think you good, gifted, lovely: a fervent, a solemn passion is conceived in my heart; it leans to you..."

I don't usually imagine certain kinds of people to names, but I really love all of these. I think they work very well together.

To be honest, the only one that I will go with is Jack.
With this name, I think of a person who is very kind, good-natured, very intellectual, always wanting to learn new things, and someone who loves soccer and baseball.
