Most common sibling set names you know..

Does anyone else know or know of multiple sibling sets with the same same? I wonder if some names are more commonly paired.

Growing up I knew 4 sets of sisters called Sarah and Rebecca. The Sarah was the eldest sister every time, and all of them had no other siblings.

in current times I know 3 brother sets called Oscar and Harry.

I suppose these are all common popular names but plenty of other popular names I’ve never seen together.

Rosie and Jack... Jack and Rosie... Rosie and Jack. I know at least 5 sibling pairings in the age group (5 and under)
So basic and dull. Roll my eyes at the lack of imagination/personality of the parents. Poor kids.

There were several sets of siblings called James and Thomas when I was growing up. But then every second boy at school seemed to be called James or Thomas.

For little ones now, I know two different families with a Charlie and a Harry as well as two with a Poppy and a Lily.
