Something I never thought I would be saying - can you help us name our triplets?

Although I'm 28 weeks gone, I still can't believe this is happening. On our second course of IVF DH and I managed to concieve and we are expecting triplets! We are absolutely over the moon and are still praying for a safe pregnancy. We've found out that it will be two boys and a girl we are having so we need names! I like strong, classic names with good nickname potential for boys and a really pretty, feminine name for a girl.

So far we've briefly cobbled together the names Esther, Juliet and Hope for our DD and Rupert, Alfred, George and Stanley as possibilities for our DSs. Would you be able to help us expand our list?

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

nbee84 · 03/03/2012 09:06

Love the name Juliet - my neice is Juliet Elizabeth and her parents nn for her is Etty Betty

What about Nicholas (Nick) and Daniel (Dan)

Congrats!

I don't have any name ideas, just wanted to say congratulations! Best of luck and love to you all.
Juliet is a beautiful name, might put it in my list

duchesse · 03/03/2012 08:57

I hope they're cast iron certain about the genders! My friends' triplets were supposed to be G, G, B, and came out as G, B, B (the boys are identical twins) but one had hypospadias (a slight malformation in the willy dept) so I guess maybe he looked more like a girl on the scans.

Anyway, congratulations! Like will be hectic but so much fun. Friends' trips are now nearly 4. Are you having help for the first year?

happyhorse · 03/03/2012 08:54

Juliet, George and Hector.

pictish · 03/03/2012 08:48

TRIPLETS!! How wonderful....many congrats!!!

Hope, James and Samuel?

ripsishere · 03/03/2012 08:45

Congratulations. Three all at once.
Don't over look Duncan or Adrian or Gavin.
Stanley is not nice IMO. Simon is though.

FaithHopeAndKevin · 03/03/2012 08:38

Esther, Samuel and Noah
Esther, George and Joseph

iloveberries · 03/03/2012 08:04

Really big congrats to you. What an amazing start to the next chapter after your journey to get here.

Juliet hope is just gorgeous and very fitting. I personally would go with Alfred and George with those names.

Congratulations to you again. What an inspiring story x

how lovely! HUGE congratulations

if i ever have twin boys i shall name them Cassius and Emmett!

out of your names i love Stanley, Rupert and Esther or Hope.

when i am out i just yell 'come here boys' dd is just learning to walk and i guess i will then have to yell 'boys and dd' or else just boys and she will probalby just follow them along anyway!

NormanTheDourDoorman · 03/03/2012 00:12

Maryz - you either yell "Come here kids!" or "Come here Alex, Chris and Liz!"

Benjamin, Alexander, matthew, Michael or Daniel, James,
Amelia, lily, Mia, Elizabeth, hope, faith, eve, Hazel. Congratulations by the way. That's amazing!!!

iolaus · 02/03/2012 23:55

Love Juliet, maybe Michael for one of the boys, would say Jack for the other boy but not keen on two siblings having the same initial (pain when it comes to post as they grow up although a boy/girl combo with the same initial may work as they'd either be Miss J Surname or Mr J Surname

Saw someone suggested Christopher, that could fit well

Love Juliet, not so enthusiastic about your boys names tbh but congratulations - how exciting to be having 3 babies! BTW love all of lockets boys names so I would go with two of those. Hope the rest of the pregnancy goes well.

LikeAnAdventCandleButNotQuite · 02/03/2012 23:46

Faith, Hope and Kevin?

On a more serious note, maybe Dorothy, Christopher and Samuel or Florence, George and Henry?

Wow, congratulations!
I think
Esther, Alfred and George. My nephew is George, nicknamed Geo. Juliet is also gorgeous.
Don't forget names like David, Peter and Jonathon when you are looking for strong classic names that aren't overdone. Simon is lovely too.

NormanTheDourDoorman · 02/03/2012 23:27

I would go for Juliet, Gabriel and Alexander.
