HelpSibset — Theresa, and Sophie & Emily
Sophie and Emily are identical twins, Theresa is their older sister.
What do you think of the names? Do they go well together?
Should it be spelt Theresa or Teresa?
If they had a fourth sister, what name would you give her? Do you think Lara is the right fit?
What about a stepsister, whose name fits with the others to a certain extent but is clearly the odd one out?
You don't have to answer all the questions, it's a bit much lol!

Sophie and Emily make sense together they do seem like sister names. Theresa feels like the dated odd one out. I would suggest a more universal name like the other 2 as the 3rd name. Like Jane, Rosie, Claire, Elizabeth, Katherine, Marie, Olivia, Lily etc.

Theresa is dated, but it's a very respectable name. I prefer the Teresa spelling, but there's nothing wrong with Theresa.
Sophie is overused, but it's sweet and intelligent and cosmopolitan. I prefer it to Sophia.
Emily needs to take at least a thirty year break.
I think Theresa is the odd one out - it isn't as current or popular are Sophie and Emily, and it feels much older than them. I'd expect Theresa to be Sophie and Emily's mother or grandmother, not sister.
Theresa, Sophie, Emily, and...
Anne
Caroline
Charlotte
Florence
Frances
Georgia
Grace
Josephine
Rose

Theresa definitely is the odd one out here. It sounds more like the twins' mother's name, or maybe a stepsister, but probably the mother's name.
Sophie and Emily definitely sound like siblings. Their sister would be Charlotte or Amelia or maybe Anna. Yawn.

Sophie and Emily, Tessa and Laura

I'd find Theresa, Sophia and Emily more convincing; or Tessa, Sophie and Emily. Sophie seems to need a longer name when teamed up with Theresa and Emily.
I'm used to Theresa; but since some Americans (most?) give Anthony a -th- sound as in Dorothy, perhaps Teresa is safer?
Lara seems a bit flimsy; I'd use the more classic Laura.
For a step-sister, I could see Natalie, or perhaps even Ashley.
