Classic names for 5 sisters?

If you're going for sophisticated, use the proper spelling; 'Josephine' rather than 'Josaphine' for example

Daisy is an old fashioned name for Margaret (a Marguerite is a daisy in French), though it has stood alone and can stand alone now. I've always thought Margaret is a classy classic, and it has so many nicknames.

My favourite classy classic names are almost all the names of queens or movie stars of the 1930s.

Eleanor / Elinor / Aelinor

Constance

Catherine / Katherine / Catharine / Katharine

Mary

Anne

Agnes / Agneita

Elizabeth

Franziska

Does the choice depend on the race or country of their parents or of their birthplace?

If I was Flora, I'd strike whoever called me Flossie.

These names are sophisticated just very pretentious, if you've giving nicknames that's fine as it is. I agree with what Catherine said so I wont repeat that.

You dont seem to understand how characters are named if you think you can reel off a list of names and ask which match?

Parents do not name their children because they think oh these match. The same two people who name each kid have the same taste and style. Then there's basic considerations like when this is and where.

A classic name in England might not be the same in Scotland. 1900 is different to 1999. Those are the things that shape the character's names.

If you're going to use their nicknames, why bother listing their full names at all? I mean, if a girl is always called 'Cassie', what's the point in telling us her name's Cassandra?

I think all of these are great options:

Eleanor- Elle/Ellie

Rosalie- Rosie (or Rose/Rosa, could also have Rosalind or Rosamund as the full name)

Madelyn- Maddie (But I'd spell it the classic way Madeleine or Madeline, Madelyn is a more modern and trendy spelling)

Annabelle- Annie/Belle

Florence- Florrie/Flossie

Charlotte- Lottie

Penelope- Penny (or Nell/Nelly)

Beatrix- Bea/Trixie (Beatrice would also work)

Flora- Florrie/Flossie

Pearl

Felicity- Fliss/Fizzy

If I had to pick five it would be Eleanor, Rosalie, Florence, Penelope and Beatrix.

The only one I really wouldn't use is Emerson, this isn't a classic or feminine name, it's traditionally a male name and has only started to be used for girls in modern times. Emmeline would be a much better, traditional option for the nickname Emmy.
