Hi,
Have posted on here before as me and DH are trying to come up with names for our triplets. Going for a nature theme.
Already have two DD - April and Autumn.

Ivy
Skye
Clover/Clove
Rain/Raine/Rayne
Rose/Rosa
Honey
Ember
Storm
Terra
Raven

DH really likes Ember, I love Terra, just not sure how well they would go with other names.
Would like general opinions on names, and also which you think would go best together, and any other suggestions.
Thanks everyone.

I like Skye & Rosa from your list. How about Raina rather than Rain?

Fearne/Fern, Wren & River nice as suggested above.
Brooke
Robyn
Ruby/Poppy ?too popular?
Saffron
Fleur
Holly

I wouldn't go with Ember - it's a bit like dying embers of our love type country & western music.

I quite like the Raine variations, although I really like Reina/Rayna.

Or Rae - a ray of sunshine type idea. Or Neive - Spanish for snow - I may have spelt that incorrectly but you get the idea Smile

Any child called Ember will find that everyone assumes it is Amber, so I'd go for that.

monkeymamma · 31/10/2013 07:03

Also

Gaia
Aurelia/aurora/Aude
Hazel

Btw I love your theme and choices - especially Raven! Don't think it matters if she isn't dark. In fact, a very blonde Raven would kind of rock!

monkeymamma · 31/10/2013 06:43

Wren
Linnet
Stella
Eartha (as in Kitt)
Eve
Aelf

Ooh I'm sorry I just saw your other thread and realised you already have daughters named April and autumn! They are lovely names! I just assumed you had two names and were looking for a third.

Glad you like Tara Grin I do too. I also like the suggestion someone else gave of calla; I knew it was a lily and have often thought I liked it as a girls name but had never heard it referred to as such! Off to find it on a baby name website!

I like Ember, Skye and Raven from your list.

Honey is cute for a child but not sure an adult could pull it off (though I used to have a friend with a sister called Honey who is now, presumably, a fully functioning adult).

Other ideas:

Asha, Astrid, Rowan, Star, Clementine, Cherry, Winter, Juniper, Coral, Posy, Eden, River

CeliaLytton · 30/10/2013 23:01

Also love Tara and think it would go well

Oh I see! Thank you for your opinions.

Yes, I meant that I had discounted Willow because it came with an assumption of a certain appearance. Muddled typing, really should be in bed!

Isthisstormcomingorwhat, we considered pretty much all of those. Olive and Violet may end up being added to our short list but for the rest they've been crossed off.

CeliaLytton, Willow to me is a blonde/blue-eyed name, but I can see your point about Raven!

OP posts:
nevergoogle · 30/10/2013 22:54

Tara means star, so I would say it is a nature name.

Isthisstormcomingorwhat · 30/10/2013 22:52

I only like Rose, Rosa and Ivy.

What about Iris, Poppy, Amber, Jasmine, Olive, Lily, Holly, Daisy or Violet?

Guess I'll be crossing Terra off our list.
Like Tara, but (Same as with Terra), just not sure how it would fit with the other names?

CeliaLytton · 30/10/2013 22:46

Bearing in mind that your other children have not too 'out there' names, I like Skye, Rosa and Ember. I would be reluctant to call a child Raven, for the same reason I discounted Willow, it is a name which may seem odd on a blue eyed, blonde child. However your genetics may guarantee this wouldn't happen! I really liked Willow but would imagine she would have to be tall, slim and beautiful and my genetics make that almost impossible Grin

BlackholesAndRevelations · 30/10/2013 22:45

How about Tara? Not a nature name but similar sound and feel to terra?

nevergoogle · 30/10/2013 22:45

Iris, Willow, Amber

BlackholesAndRevelations · 30/10/2013 22:44

Gosh not Terra- your dd would be forever known as terror!

April and autumn are completely different times of the year... Does that matter?

From your list I like ivy, sky, Rose or rosa.

Congrats on having triplets too!! Smile

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 30/10/2013 22:40

Love Clover. Sorry but I think that Terra is (sorry) terrible.
