hi all my s/o and i are expecting triplets in june , 2 boys and 1 girl. we have already decided on Alexander Grey for one of the boys. we are choosing between Josiah and Louis for the other boy but have no mn ideas.

as for the girl, we have picked out Elise,Ella and Eliza but are stuck on which to choose. perhaps Frances for the middle name but open to any others (no grace, marie)

any suggestions on the girls and boy name? our surname is french

Alexander Grey , Louis ? and Eliza Frances would be gorgeous. I'm not a fan of Josiah at all and don't think it's a patch on your other names.

danascully96 · 23/04/2021 22:13

Jonah might be a nice alternative to Josiah, but Josiah is a nice name! The Louis and Elise thing might be a tongue-twister.

danascully96 · 23/04/2021 22:11

Alexander, Louis, and Elise would be my pick :)

Alexander, Josiah and Elise. Middle name for Elise could be:

Elise Charlotte
Elise Victoria
Elise Riley
Elise Violet
Elise Adeline

Ellmau · 21/04/2021 18:49

What about Eloise for the girl?

Saltyslug · 21/04/2021 17:37

Esther frances

ElizabethTudor · 20/04/2021 21:49

Alexander, Louis and ...
I’m not keen on your girls names.
Agree with PP, what about
Elizabeth rather than Eliza (goes really well with the above), or
Frances (again sits well with Alexander and Louis)

Or
Harriet
Francesca
Vivienne
Claudia
Cecilia

Firebird83 · 20/04/2021 21:41

I like Alexander, Josiah and Eliza. Not keen on Louis.

LozMarieFielder · 20/04/2021 19:20

Eliza for sure! I mean first of all it’s the nicest and second of all, if you are going to use Frances - it’s the name that goes best!

Some middle name suggestions:
Eliza Birdie
Eliza Juliet
Eliza Kate
Eliza Valentina
Eliza Primrose
Eliza Jessamine
Eliza Florence
Eliza Darcy
Eliza Delphine

Louis and Josiah are both lovely, however Louis goes best with Eliza/Elise/Ella and Alexander.

Some middle name suggestions:
Louis Cassander
Louis Orlando
Louis Nathaniel
Louis Sebastian/Sebastien
Louis Antonio
Louis Atticus

PolarnOPirate · 20/04/2021 15:23

I'd go for Alexander, Louis and Eliza personally. Lovely names. But is your name Alexandra?? If so I wouldn't do Alexander but see that one is already set in stone.

steppemum · 20/04/2021 15:17

I really like Josiah.

It is unusual but recognisable which is always a great combination in my book.

Alexander, Josiah and ....

hmm, not sold on the girls. Eliza is the best I think .
Don't worry about Alexander and Eliza, in a couple of years no-one would think of it.

Frances is a GREAT middle name (I may be biased!)

sorryforswearing · 20/04/2021 14:59

Not a clue about Hamilton.

sorryforswearing · 20/04/2021 14:58

Louis rather than Josiah. I really like Louis.
Ella is very popular so Eliza or Elise would be my choice although I’ve heard of a few Elizas lately so that may become more commonly used.

partyatthepalace · 20/04/2021 14:52

I love Josiah! I like Louis too though

Eliza is great but I would put Elizabeth on the birth cert, as her brothers’ have names with such rich history, I think she might feel a bit hard done by if she gets a nn as full name. I have to say if it were me I’d go for Frances first as it’s less popular, and Frances Elizabeth is great.

Wouldn’t worry about Hamilton. Wouldn’t use Ella or Elise as full names as much less distinguished, although she might well end up nn Ella.

TatianaBis · 20/04/2021 12:34

Personally I love Manon, Capucine et Maëlys.

YoniAndGuy · 20/04/2021 12:29

They're all ok names, I like the boy names a lot more. I'd go for Louis.

The girl name sounds very limp compared to the others. El- names are currently so popular too, so overdone.

I'd find a stronger more characterful girl's name.

TatianaBis · 20/04/2021 12:08

Alexander and Louis are great. Not so keen on your girl’s names, they’re a bit limp by comparison. (Alexander is means leader of mankind, Louis - famous in battle).

Elise is the best I guess.

What about Alexander, Louis and Beatrice?

Sexnotgender · 20/04/2021 09:56

@Synchrony

I wouldn't choose Josiah, Alexander and Eliza/Ella because they all have an "a" sounding ending. A bit matchy.

I also wouldn't choose Louis with Elise as they sound too similar to me.

I prefer Ella to Eliza.

So I'd choose Alexander, Josiah and Elise, or Alexander, Louis and Ella.

Totally what I was going to say.
ILoveShula · 20/04/2021 09:53

Imagine yourself saying the names e.g. 'I'll just get Alexander, Eliza and Josiah's bottles ready' or something. My guess you'll say 'the babies', 'the children' or 'the triplets' instead as the whole string of long names is such a mouthful.

How exciting to be having three little babies. Flowers

PlainJane1000 · 20/04/2021 09:45

Another vote for Louis and Elise. Congratulations and all the best with your triplets! I'm carrying one and it feels like a lot!

littleredberries · 20/04/2021 08:19

Alexander Louis and Elise go well together!

yeah, i see a lot of people posting about Alex and Elise sounding the smae but i think because of i accent i don’t find it so, it’s not that much of a problem for me. i don’t intend on shortening it to Alex unless he wants to in the future

i don’t think i’m intending on shortening his name to Alex unless in the future he wants to. similarly, i think because of my accent i don’t find that they sound the same so it isn’t really a concern for me

wanderedlonelyasacloud · 19/04/2021 22:15
