Hi, I’m currently pregnant with triplet girls, I have one name definitely picked out, Leila, some other names a like are Aven, Ivy and Pearl but I can’t find a combination of 3 names that seem right, does anyone have suggestions for what two names would go nicely with Leila, thanks!

I really like Leila and Ivy but I am not so keen on Pearl. It sounds a bit Grannyish. Leila, Ivy and Grace? Leila, Ivy and Rosa? Leila, Ivy and Delphine?

My youngest was going to be Edie Rose if he were a girl.
Leila, Edie and Violet work well together

Leila, Esther, Sydney
Leila, Nancy, Ava
Leila, Nina, Stella
Leila, Eliza, Rosa
Sydney, Nancy, Edie

Saying those,
I quite like the endings all with 'the same letter 'y' or 'a'; sort of holds them together and much less twee than all starting with the same letter.

I love the idea of Leila and Dawn because Leila means "night". Selene means "moon goddess" which would work but I love how Astrid sounds with Leila and Dawn

ReganSomerset · 18/05/2019 19:12

Names that are on the same sort of level as Edie are things like Margot, Elsie, Edith, Maeve, Agnes, Beatrice, Penny, June...

ReganSomerset · 18/05/2019 19:09

I think you've got to try and get them all as nice as each other. That's the tricky bit. So it might help if they're along similar lines, so all classic, modern, unusual etc.

Edie Rose - worst name of the three by a. country mile imo. Rose is nice enough but Edie is nowhere near as pretty as the other two, so it's a bit of an odd one out.
Leila Reese- not a fan of the middle name but to be fair, she won't have to use it so it doesn't matter too much.
Violet Raine- reminiscent of purple rain, which I think is a song. Also makes an adjective noun combo, which I'm not a fan of. Like Scarlett Rose or Sunny June. Then again, as with Leila, she won't have to use the middle name so it doesn't matter too much.

Leila, Salma and Nora(h)

Saharasunset · 18/05/2019 16:38

As PP suggested this combo is nicer

Edie Rose
Leila Raine
Violet Reese

LittleDoveLove · 14/05/2019 22:04

I haven't heard of Aven before but I like that! I think the names you have suggested are all nice; I don't really think they need to 'go' as your babies will all be individuals so maybe just pick the 3 names you like best :)

Rainandwine No I haven’t she was with my Aunty but due to family circumstances had to move in with me but is desperate to go back to my aunties because she’s been there since she was two so at the moment we’ve been telling her she’s on holiday at my house until she can go back which will hopefully be in the next month or two.

Edie Rose
Leila Raine
Violet Reese

Maybe better this way..

small2018 · 13/05/2019 22:07

I really like those names 😊

Rainandwine · 13/05/2019 20:56

Have you had your sister with you a long time? Sorry I know it’s none of my business but I think a lot of children would choose stability / the home they’ve known & could feel quite displaced if had to move out to make way for new children
But I realise it’s a really difficult situation & you might have explored all possibilities endlessly

Happyandglorious Thank you, no I don’t have any other kids but I currently have custody of my little sister (there’s quite a big age gap between us) but we’re hoping she’ll move in with my Aunty before the babies are born because it’s not fair her loving with us because it’ll be really hard to make time for her and she’s a light sleeper and I don’t want her walking into school like a zombie every day.

Edie, Leila and Pearl for sure!

ReganSomerset · 13/05/2019 08:44

Wow, congratulations OP! The very best of luck to you! x

Happyandglorious · 13/05/2019 08:40

Leila, Ivy and Maisie would be my pick
And the absolute best of luck to you.
Do you have other kids?

babbi · 13/05/2019 05:50

No names but congratulations 👶🏻👶🏻👶🏻
Keep well and take care of yourself...
Maybe come back and show us a picture when they’re here ?

MercyBodle · 13/05/2019 05:41

Edie, Leila and Pearl sound best to me as a group as they all have a distinct sound yet work well together. However I do like Ivy and Maisie more than Pearl - so I'm torn on this one - Ivy, Leila and Maisie include more of my preferred names.
