HelpRe: Thoughts on this sibset?
in reply to a message by Rainya
Assuming the parents were going for maximum matchy, I'm picturing it like this:
Cathleen
Caroline (I assume the "line" is pronounced as "leen" in their accent?)
Christine
Colleen
So they're all C__een.
It's terrible but manageable if they all had nicknames. Cathy, Carrie, Chris, and Collie (or just Colleen) don't sound too similar. If Chris is actually the only one with a nickname, and Cathleen/Kathleen and Colleen are just called their full 'leen' names all the time, that could be a problem.
If Caroline is "line" instead of "leen", then she's the odd one out.

The Caroline is “line”.
