Ruby, Gwendolen, and Willa
Do these work as sister names? I already have a Ruby and Gwendolen, just thinking ahead. I am really loving Willa Viviane as a combo. The other possible name I have in mind is Sybil Virginia, but I'm not sure I can convince DH of Sybil since it is the name of our neighbor directly across the street. Virginia is MIL's name, so I don't think we will use it as a first name either. Thanks!

I think Ruby, Gwendolen and Willa would work for sisters. Sybil is horrible imo, sorry. I find the sound so unappealing.

Ruby and Gwendolen are adorable together. Well played! I think Willa fits in with the just wonderfully. Far better than Sybil.

Ruby, Gwendolen and Willa are lovely together. Willa Viviane / Vivien is nice. I prefer Sibyl Virginia, but if dh isn't on board then Willa Viviane is just as nice. My stock combo for Willa is Willa Rosemary.P.S. If you like the nn Ginger, you could use Virginia as a first name. Just a thought.

Ruby & Willa seem like the perfect sibset. Gwendolen doesn't fit. I feel that it is a bit longer, and has a very delicate, feminine feel... whereas Ruby & Will a have feminine, but gutsy feel.Gwen on its own may work.Sybil fits much better with Ruby & Willa, imo.

I think they go really well together. They're all somewhat traditional but they've got verve, too. :)I'm not that fond of Virginia, though (it's my sister's name and she hates it).
