Re: Martha, Sally, and Betsy
in reply to a message by Caroline
I like the sibset because it's so old fashioned, I could picture it for the daughters of a Revolutionary hero. I never quite understood Polly as a NN for Martha, but it's not a bad NN. If you want to keep that 1776 kind of feel, you could call her Patsy, too.
Since this particular sibset is so old fashioned, you could name Sally Sarah to match Martha/Polly and Elizabeth/Betsy, but if you *really* don't like Sarah, why bother? If Susannah is more to your liking, that could work: Martha/Polly, Elizabeth/Betsy, and Susannah/Sally. Even though I think Polly and Sally are just fine on their own, it's a cute sibset. Go for it.
