What do you think of this sibset?

1. Liberty
2. Serenity
3. Charity
4. Verity

What are your thoughts? What would you think if you met this (hypothetical) sibset? Is it a bad idea using these names on my future kids?

If you could adjust the sibset (using _TY names) how would you. (Amity, Clarity, Dusty, Minty, Misty, Modesty, Royalty, Trinity, Unity)

It's fine. Overly matchy. It would be better to use them as middle names, then they would still be linked but not so in your face.

If I had to adjust the sibset, I would sub Charity with Clarity. The rest remain the same.

I don't like matchy-rhymey sibsets in reality. It's cute for a story, but in real life I think children should be considered individuals. Not collections of a set. Then again, there are some exceptions that I like to my own rule (floral middle names in a set, for instance) so maybe I'm just full of it :P

I think Liberty and Charity feel 80s-90s dated. I like Serenity. Not a big fan of Verity.

If I had to adjust the names (assuming you want them to be words) I'd choose:

1. Serenity
2. Felicity
3. Levity
4. Divinity

I tried to pick names with feelings I'd want them to experience, rather than exemplify. I only like Serenity and Felicity, though!

I like the idea of picking names with feelings you'd want them to experience, do you think that's why names like Heaven and Harmony are so popular.

All together they are cartoonishly Puritan in a way you wouldn't expect from an actual Puritan family. Also, together they are like a rather clumsy slogan for a free clinic or something.
Charity and Verity also rhyme, not a good thing.

The ty ending is not a favorite for me.

Thanks I didn't realise (till you told me) that Charity and verity rhyme. I love the names Liberty and Serenity (equally) so I find it hard to just pick one and move on, this sibset was my attempt to one day use both of them.
