Sibset

Yesterday I met a sibset of two girls and two boys, aged between 9 and 4.

Matilda "Tilly", Dexter "Dex", Ralph (pronounced Rafe) and Flora.

WDYT? I quite like Matilda and Flora but not the boys' names.

Matilda seems quite old to me, but the nn Tilly names it young and fresh again. I like Dexter, but not the nn Dex. Ralph is strong and moral, I like it a lot. Flora is very whimsical.

Matilda "Tilly" and Dexter "Dex" are great and I don't mind Flora at all, but I don't like Ralph, I'd much prefer Rafe.

I agree with you, but I also like Dexter. Can't stand Ralph.

It sounds very British. Like old country estate British. I really don't care for Ralph, especially with that pronunciation. Too close to "rape."

That's one of the best sib sets I've seen. Ralph isn't my style, but I have nothing against it. I love the other 3!

Hi Mireio !!!

It is ok as sibset.
There is nothing over the top.

The only name I like is Flora anyway. I adore it.

The other names seem dated.
