Just a fun game! If you found out you were pregnant with triplet girls.. what would you name them?!

•would you make them matchy such as same letter initials
•would you make them completely different
•would you give them the same middle names or different?

I can't be 100% sure but I think I'd pick out of..

Daphne
Cecily/Cecilia (CeCe)
Penelope
Felicie
Adelie
Margaux

Please tell me what you would choose from! X

Isla, Iona, and Skye

@HadEnoughOfBears I probably would shorten them as @Brandysnapzzz suggested, and send them off to boarding school as soon as possible!

I’m struggling to think of other sets of names for these imaginary triplets. Grin I like:
Antonia
Arabella
Bethany
Cassandra
Georgia
Lois
Louisa
Stella
Verity
Veronica

But none of them seem to go well together!

PatsyStone39 · 03/03/2021 12:38

I think I would have Dahlia, Amara and Merida.

GeorgiaGirl52 · 03/03/2021 12:35

Faith, Hope, and Grace

Samuel, Daniel, Josiah

HadEnoughOfBears · 03/03/2021 12:28

I would have Laura, Gemma & Nadia

HadEnoughOfBears · 03/03/2021 12:27

@EllieQ

Helena Constance Margot

Smile

Do you think you would shorten them at all?
Brandysnapzzz · 03/03/2021 12:17

@EllieQ I came here to say this 😆

Well more precisely I was going to say…

Mary Helena
Mary Constance
Mary Margaret

To be known as: Len, Con & Margot

😜

anappleadaykeeps · 03/03/2021 12:15

Abraham, Beatrice and Cecily....

To be shortened to Abe, Bea and Cee obviously

BernadetteRostankowskiWolowitz · 03/03/2021 12:13

@MamaDane

If I was pregnant with triplets it would be fetal reduction 1 fetal reduction 2 Emilia
Same!
secretrugbyfan · 03/03/2021 12:13

Hayden, Jayden and Okayden for girls

Tom, Dick and Harry for boys

Kimye4eva · 03/03/2021 12:08

@Jessbow

Come here dont do that & share nicely
Lol!
Mamamamasaurus · 03/03/2021 12:06

Live, laugh and love. Obviously.

GreeboIsMySpiritAnimal · 03/03/2021 12:05

I don't like matchy names, and I don't want them having the same initials as my other two DC (which rules out Edith and Jocelyn, which is a shame as I love both!)

So I think I'd go for:

  • Matilda
  • Imogen
  • Hope

Boys would be:

  • Samuel (nn Sam)
  • Tobias (nn Toby)
  • Leo

Both because I love the names, and I love the West Wing! Grin

TeacupDrama · 03/03/2021 12:00

no theme or same initials or rhyming but roughly grouped ie

Elizabeth, Rachel and Sarah or or Kayla, Macey and Chelsea or Willow Jasmine and Rose but not a mixture of types such as KJ Ellie May, Elizabeth Martha and Willow Amber

HurricaneBitch · 03/03/2021 11:53

Constance
Nancy
Eliza

bluechameleon · 03/03/2021 11:53

Ooh, maybe if I'm changing my existing children's names I'd also have a Beatrice. So I'm up to sextuplets now... if I have to pick three I'm going for Matilda, Beatrice and Penelope. I like that they are all different first letters, different numbers of syllables but similar style. And several nickname options for each.

BlackSabbath · 03/03/2021 11:52

Heather
Hazel
And Fearne

bluechameleon · 03/03/2021 11:50

Matilda, Harriet and Genevieve. Or Penelope for one of them if I'm also allowed to change my surname in this game. And maybe Eloise for one if I'm allowed to change the names of my existing children.

Greenandcabbagelooking · 03/03/2021 11:42

Rosalind Joy (Rosie)
Caroline Jessie (Carrie)
Eleanor Elizabeth (Ellie)

Froppysue · 03/03/2021 11:39

Probably a mixture of these in my head, in real life dh would never agree and we’d have bland normal names - or he’d run off at the shock of triplets and I could name them whatever I liked Grin

Blythe, Lyra and Noah

Blythe, Quinn, Lyra

Noah, Tobias, Aster

TeenMinusTests · 03/03/2021 11:36

Eve, Ava, Eva

Or more sensibly: Rebecca, Tamara, & Leah

CeibaTree · 03/03/2021 11:31

I'd go for nature names, maybe Willow, Jasmine and Amber.

Megan2018 · 03/03/2021 11:30

@thesecretvoter DH’s mother has one of those names and a sister with another! Grin

Megan2018 · 03/03/2021 11:29

Harriet
Verity
Beatrix

I already have a Felicity.

Matching names, themes etc is hideous.

thesecretvoter · 03/03/2021 11:29

Jane, Janet and Janette 😁
