Those names look too celebrity-ish. I'll pass.

The names are nice... but for siblings? I always find it creppy when people name their kids after couples... It's like naming your children Romeo and Juliet, but without them having any redeeming qualities in this case.

Heath Ledger and his sister Catherine were named after the characters in Wuthering Heights. And that's actually the first thing to come to mind. I don't care for Heathcliff, and I don't like that spelling of Katherine either, it seems too stuffy to me.

Ditto the Heath Ledger factThat was my first thought as well. In fact I did not think about Wuthering Heights at all, I thought it was going to be a post about the Ledgers.For the OP: Heathcliff is a GP of mine and I love Catherine but certainly not as a sibset. They were lovers, it's just like using Romeo and Juliet or Tristan and Isolde for brother and sister. Rather weird.

I retract my opinion. :)And for the record, I didn't think of Heath Ledger at all. I didn't know he had a sister named Cate. Not sure if that's common enough knowledge to matter. But it's obsolete anyway because of the above information.

Love it!Even though I don't like Heath(cliff). But nice sibset.

I love it! I do like Cathy better than Cate though...

Hmmm, I liked them before the explanation. Heathcliff and Catherine were lovers, so I don't think it is particularly suitable for a sibset.However, as just two lovely names Heath and Cate are gorgeous together.
