Do sibling names need to match?

My two DS have traditional names but expecting third and we like more unusual names for girls. We quite like the name Saffron
Would it be strange to have something unusual with the other two children having traditional names

Absolutely not. I find matching names eg: all similar sound, same initials, same theme etc so cringe. They’re individuals and should be treated as such. Edit to add that Saffron is lovely and still quite traditional in my eyes

No. I think it’s fine to have non-matching names

I don't think they have to match. All your children are individuals. Edit: I like Saffron.

No I think it’s fine to have for example a Jack, George and a Saffron.
