Have I accidentally started a theme?

I have two DDs, Miranda and Imogen and we have just found out we are expecting DD3. By accident, my girls' names are both from Shakespeare plays. Our favourite name this time is Cecilia, but I worry that her name doesn't 'match' her sisters (especially because there's a Shakespearean Celia, but I don't love it!).

Will DD3 feel left out of the Shakespearean theme or am I overthinking this?

If you were naming a DC6 and the other five had very Shakespearean names (Hermia, Valentine, Ferdinand, Hamlet, Ophelia) then she might feel left out. But not as the third when the name you like is stylistically similar.

Overthinking.

I'm not a Shakespeare buff so I may not help but I wouldn't even click that your DDS had Shakespeare names so I would just go with what you like and not worry about it

My degree is in theatre, and I wouldn't automatically make that connection anyway. It's not like you've gone for Juliet and Ophelia.

Overthinking.

A friend with an Imogen and a Miranda named her DD3 Lydia. I think they and Cecilia have a very similar feel.
