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?

St Cecilia having a bit of a lie down and Miranda having a look out to sea.

Imogen brandishing her sword.

Juliet?

Imogen is in Cymbeline.

It's widely proposed that Shakespeare actually used the name 'Innogen', and that 'Imogen' came from a mistake made by a copyist.

Thanks @drabbyyates and a bonus bit of trivia Star

You're overthinking it. I wouldn't have spotted a theme, and like you say, the theme was an accident anyway. If you did want to keep it going, Cordelia is lovely and not a million miles away, but then the theme would be very obvious.
