Does India fit with Jemima and Romola?

My opinions on this set are pratically identical to Bear's. I'd be thrilled to see it irl. Jemima Cecily is an old Jemima combo of mine too, incidentally.
I'd steer clear of using Constance and Florence together. But I love Constance! Such a snappy name. I'm not big on Georgia (although I think Georgie is cute as a full fn) so I wouldn't use it, plus Georgia in this sibset is slightly too similar to Jemima. So a no to Georgia, especially as part of the sibset's charm is how mismatched it looks at first (it's totally not!).

I don't think it works. India is so place namey and modern sounding. Jemima and Romola seem more classic to me (though I suppose Romola comes from Rome, hmm. I guess it doesn't seem so place namey because I'm used to Roman and Romona and Romaine as names).

Florence and Jemima are two of my favourite girls names. Love them :D
I think Jemima, Romola and India sound fine together.
Jemima Cecily rose- funny, my Jemima combo is Jemima Cecily Carys! I do not like Rose as a mn, it is so overdone, but I think with the unusual Jemima and Cecily, you can get away with it. Just.
Romola Imogen Cate - would prefer Romilly personally, but this is another lovely combo, Imogne is another favourite.
India Penelope Eve - I do not like Penelope. At all. And it sounds too long and clunky as a double middle name to my ears.
Georgia, Constance & Florence- Georgia sticks out IMO as it sounds so trendy and modern compared to the other two. Also, not sure I like the sound of Constance and Florence together. Too similar.
I think I'd pair Florence as a mn to Inida instead. Jemima Cecily Rose, Romola Imogen Cate & India Florence Eve. Lovely :)

I like all the names but I don't like India with Jemima and Romola. I'd switch it to Jemima, Romola and Penelope.
Actually, I've changed my mind. I do like Jemima, India and Romola together. They all have a nice quirky flavour. Penelope makes the set fussy instead of fun. Jemima, Romola and India are very rich jewel-tones and I'm enjoying that a lot.
Georgia, Constance and Florence is a gorgeous set.

Ditto your "actually I've changed my mind" sentiment

I think everything fits except Jemima. Maybe it's only because I don't like it, but I think it's the odd one out here. Joan, Johanna, Julia, Juliana, Jocasta, or Jessica seem like they would work better in that spot. Well, maybe not Jessica. Romola seems to go with everything. I like all of the combos, especially the last one.
Georgia, Constance, and Florence as a sibset, or separately? Separately I love Georgia and Constance. Florence and Constance are too rhymey to be in the same sibset IMO, unless one of them was a middle name. I wonder if Georgia Cecily Rose would work... maybe not; idk.

I love Jemima. It always makes me think of Beatrix Potter and Jemima Puddleduck. Unfortunatley, here in the U.S. it's unusable due to racial stereotyping. *sigh* But in theory I still love it and if you're outside the U.S. I'd love to see you use it.
That said, Jemima Cecily Rose is lovely. Rose feels too safe, but I know with the second mn options get limited due to rhythm. The Jemima Cecily part is great -- cheerful, energetic and sweet.
I'm never sure if Romola is "ROM-uh-luh" like Romulus, or "ROE-muh-luh," or another way entirely? I've seen it written, but never spoken. How does Romola Garai say it? Is that the way you are too?
Romola Imogen Cate strikes me as smart and artsy, any way you say Romola. Imogen is especially fetching.
India Penelope Eve -- So close. India is difficult to find a mn for. Penelope works surprisingly well with it. But Eve draws out the "ee" sound of Penelope weirdly. I don't know if I've got an alternative for you though. India Penelope Blythe? India Penelope Wren? India Penelope Jane? India Penelope Tess?

This is just a difference in our styles, but I read your post and immediately saw...
Georgia Cecily Rose
Constance Imogen Cate
Florence Penelope Eve
These three first names are nearer my style than Jemima, Romolo and India. Of those three, Jemima and Romola go together nicely. I think India could fit in...it's hard for me with this one, since I associate it so strongly with a country, rather than the name of a person but, sound-wise, it isn't completely out of place.
