HelpJuliet, Cecilia and Caroline
What do you think of the sibset Juliet, Cecilia and Caroline ? And the names individually?
There's actually a theme going on here; they're names from songs.
Check Yes Juliet by We the Kings
Oh, Cecilia by The Vamps
Sweet Caroline by Neil Diamond
What would you name a sibset if you had to use names from songs?

It’s a beautiful sibset. Juliet and Cecilia have actually been on my mind lately. Particularly, I’ve always liked Juliet but I thought it was too delicate and maybe not usable for me. I used to prefer Juliette for years but I’ve come back around to Juliet and I think I’ll stick to it.
Cecilia and Caroline I’ve always really liked too.

Juliet used to be one of my favorites, and I still really enjoy it (though Julia is more practical, imo).
Never liked Cecilia, sorry. It gives me a frilly and whiny impression. I think the shorter Celia is much better. Also, I used to love Cecily, but sometimes I find it too soft now.
Caroline is a name I'm supposed to like, given my tastes, but I cannot shake the snobbish impression I get from it, especially if the bearer doesn't use a nickname (Carrie, Caro, etc.). It's like I immediately envision Caroline Bingley every time I hear the name - even though I had this impression long before I ever read Pride & Prejudice.
As a sibset, these sisters sound quite Victorian.
Edit: I just noticed the last question of the OP. If I had to use only names from songs:
Juliet, like in the OP (though I'm not actually familiar with that song)
Jane ("Jane Says")
Penelope ("Penelope" by Pinback)
Delilah ("Hey There, Delilah")
Lola ("Lola")
Gloria (G-L-O-R-I-A!)
Rhiannon ("Rhiannon")
Roxanne ("Roxanne")
Donna ("Oh, Donna")
&
Jude ("Hey, Jude")
Jonas ("My Name is Jonas")

I love all three of these names. My cat is named Cecilia (after the Simon & Garfunkel song) and my other cat, Genevieve, is also named after a song: "Tear Stained Eye" by Son Volt, which has the name Genevieve in the chorus.
Just a few days ago I was musing on whether anyone has ever named their pets "Vera, Chuck, & Dave" after the Beatles song "When I'm 64."
