You said choose two names from "each of these sets." Each set only has two names! Unless we're including nn's?
Without letting you answer (!), let me press ahead with my answers.
I think both sets are perfectly usable on sibs. I don't think many people in the world, Array darlin, are going to recognize that Edmond and Mercedes match as a (famous? only to us? and V fans and other literary eggheads?) romantic couple, and I frankly think Eddy and Dee make a precious sibset. For the same reason, I highly doubt many people will recognize Valerie and Ruth as a romantic match - especially not straight people. It just doesn't occur to them/us (we are them, KWIM? ;p). Vally and Ruthie are also a perfect sisterly match. I just don't think you have anything to worry about, you V fanatic you, unless your children grow up attending annual V-cons right from the cradle.
ETA: I'm such a dunce, I didn't say I'd go with Mercedes and Valerie. Sorry. ;p
