HelpDavid & Diana
WDYT of the sibset David Frederick and Diana Beatrice?
What sort of people would you imagine?
And are first names starting with the same letter too cutesy?
Also, WDYT of Agnes? It's been on my mind lately.

I love the name Diana - it's one of my favourite names, though I would spell it 'Dianna'. I tend to imagine someone very book-smart, but also confident and friendly, with fair hair and green eyes.
David is also quite a good name. It's the name of my cousin, so I don't really tend to think of a particular sort of person other than him when I hear that name.
Agnes I'm not so sure about. It's not a terrible name, but I think it does have a tendency to sound a bit 'little old lady-ish'. I certainly have trouble imagining a baby Agnes (though I suppose as a baby she could be called Aggie, which fits a little better).
The MNs are both really good by the way, especially Beatrice (though I personally lean slightly more towards Beatrix).
As for sibsets with names starting with the same letter, I think whether or not they are too cutesy depends largely on what names you choose and what 'vibe' they give out (if you know what I mean). So while Harriet and Henry is a little bit twee (both old-style, traditional, upper-class names), Hannah and Harry would be fine (one's Hebrew and one's English). I can't really explain what I mean any better than that.
I hope my comments were of some assistance to you.
