    Grace - Very pretty in the first name position.
    Victoria - I adore Victoria! Although I detest the nickname Vicky.
    Caroline - I'm not a big fan of Caroline, though it has a lovely sound.
    Mary - I'm starting to like Mary, as much as I told myself I never would. I would love to meet a young Mary.
    Julia/Juliet - Not a fan of either name. Juliet is too princess-y for my liking and there's just something about Julia.
    Clara - Not a fan of the Cla- names in general, but Clara is starting to grow on me.
    Eleanor - Eleanor is absolutely stunning! I adore the nickname Nora.
    Alice - I adore Alice! I could almost call it perfect.
    Lillian - Lillian is one of my favourite Lily names. It's very elegant in my opinion.
    Rose - Rose is adorable! Especially in the first name spot.
    Charlotte - I adore Charlotte with the nickname Lottie! The only downside is its popularity.
    Madeline - Not a fan of Mad- names.
    Florence - Florence is my favourite girls names! I just love it. I love the nicknames Flora, Flossie and Ren.
    Adelaide - Adelaide is precious. Ada and Addy are cute nicknames.

    My favourites with Catherine and Elizabeth are...
    Catherine, Elizabeth and Victoria
    Catherine, Elizabeth and Eleanor
    Catherine, Elizabeth and Charlotte
    Catherine, Elizabeth and Adelaide.
    Renaming myself;
    something quirky, British and elegant.

    My favorites are Rose, Eleanor, and Adelaide. Rose is just gorgeous! Eleanor is so pretty and has tons of nicknames: the cute Ellie, the sweet Nora, or the spunky Nell. I love Adelaide from Guys and Dolls, and she can be Addie, Della or Delia. Every name on the list is beautiful! Good luck!

    I think these are the best out of you list:
    Catherine, Elizabeth, and Victoria
    Catherine, Elizabeth, and Grace
    Catherine, Elizabeth and Madeline
    Catherine, Elizabeth, and Adelaide

    Grace- in the same class as the other two, gorgeous
    Victoria- see comment above
    Caroline- wouldn't want to repeat "C" as a first initial
    Mary- A little plain and a little less elegant compared with Elizabeth and Catherine
    Julia/Juliet- Juliet is beautiful and could stand on its own
    Clara-wouldn't want to repeat "C" as a first initial
    Eleanor-wouldn't want to repeat "E" as a first initial
    Alice- seems a bit stunted and less elegant compared to Elizabeth and Catherine
    Lillian- not a huge fan, doesn't sound as classic as the other two
    Rose- beautiful in the first name spot, but really stands out next to the other two
    Charlotte- wouldn't want to repeat "C" as a first initial
    Madeline- Even though I don't like the name it looks and sounds right with the sibset
    Florence- I really like it but I can see it aging more than the other two
    Adelaide- Holds it's own next to the other two names, strong and elegant just like them
    Finally Expecting #1 Nov/Dec 2013!

    My recommendation is ...

    01. Catherine [and] William
    02. Elizabeth [and] Alexander
    03. Mary [and] John
    04. Victoria [and] Nicholas

    ... as a sibset comprised of equivalent "core classic" names.

    Elizabeth, Catherine & ...

    Elizabeth, Catherine & Victoria
    Elizabeth, Catherine & Lillian
    Elizabeth, Catherine & Florence
    Elizabeth, Catherine & Adelaide

    If it were me, I would stick with classic, pretty, longer names that have lots of nickname options and don't start with E or C :P

    All of the names are beautiful though, they could all make a perfect sibset, however Victoria, Lillian, Florence & Adelaide are my favorites.

    I actually love all of those! I think Catherine, Elizabeth and Juliet would make a lovely sibset.
