I'm working on a 19th-century project right now and I thought some of you might draw some inspiration from the sibsets created by some American authors and their spouses:
Harriet Beecher Stowe and Calvin Stowe:
Harriet (Hattie) Beecher & Eliza Tyler (twins)
Henry Ellis
Frederick William
Georgiana May
Samuel Charles
Charles Edward
Nathaniel and Sophia Hawthorne:
Una
Julian
Rose
Henry Wadsworth and Frances Longfellow:
Charles Appleton
Ernest Wadsworth
Alice Mary
Edith
Anne Allegra
James Fenimore and Susan Cooper:
Elizabeth
Susan Augusta
Caroline Martha
Anne Charlotte
Maria Frances
Fenimore
Paul Fenimore
Ralph Waldo and Lydia Emerson:
Ellen
Waldo
Edward Waldo
(It should also be noted that RWE renamed his wife "Lidian" because he thought it was more literary, but she was not terribly pleased.)
Frederick Douglass and Anna Murray-Douglass:
Rosetta
Lewis Henry
Frederick, Jr.
Charles Remond
Annie
Herman and Elizabeth Melville:
Malcolm
Frances
Stanwix
Mark Twain and Olivia Langdon Clemens:
Langdon
Olivia Susan (Susy)
Clara Langhorne
Jane Lampton
OMgoodness-- this is an amazing list!
Thank you for posting. I am wetting myself over Anne Allegra, Georgiana May and Maria Frances.
Awesome list. I'm glad to see Alice Mary works because in my head it doesn't but for some reason seeing it here does...
Maria Frances is fab as well.
