Names for triplets

Hi, everyone!
We gave birth to triplets last Monday at 35 wks and they still have no name!
DH and I decided to leave the sex of the babies as a surprise, and we have been discussing baby names but it's so difficult to find first and middle names that work well together.
We have narrowed the middle names down to Tess, Eve and Kate for girls, and August, Christopher and Samuel for boys, but are still torn for first names.
Our list:
Meredith
Margot
Margaret (obviously we wouldn't use both Margot and Margaret)
Elizabeth
Daphne

George
Jacob
Edward
Reuben
Thomas
William

We currently have a DS Theodore Robert and a DD Julia Lois.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

Elizabeth, Daphne and William. Whichever mn you prefer - I don't think they matter too much. Congratulations!

I would keep to 3 syllables same as your other kids.

so:

Elizabeth Kate
Meredith Eve
William Samuel

GetTheGoodLookingGuy · 04/06/2022 14:19

Elizabeth Kate
Meredith Eve
Reuben Christopher

Fivebeanchilli · 04/06/2022 11:11

Congratulations! Your other children's names are lovely.

I would go for:
Meredith Kate
Elizabeth Tess
William August

But Daphne Tess would be a close second to Elizabeth

Starbeach · 04/06/2022 09:06

Not sure I like any if your middle names sorry the girls they seem a little clunky with your first name choices

Margot Elizabeth
Tess Rose
Ruben Thomas

bozna · 04/06/2022 02:47

@giat5 your overwhelmed I'd rethink them all. Or ask other kids I bet they have better suggestions, then more meaningful aswell

WildCherryBlossom · 04/06/2022 02:18

Daphne Kate
Margot Tess
George August

Congrats OP!

thenewduchessoflapland · 04/06/2022 00:50

Congratulations

I'd definitely use the name Elizabeth;you had your babies in the queens platinum jubilee week

The queens sister is Margaret.

I'd go with William for a boy and definitely use the middle name kate with one of the girls

ZandathePanda · 04/06/2022 00:37

Congratulations.
Hope you can both get moments of rest.
All lovely names. The only thing I would do is make sure you all have a different initial - although 5 children with different first initials and yourselves is going to be tricky. It just will make things a little bit easier.

WeasilyPleased · 03/06/2022 23:21

Elizabeth Kate
Meredith Tess
Jacob Samuel.
Congratulations 💐

NotSoFlatStanley · 03/06/2022 22:57

Congratulations!

Reuben Samuel
Meredith Eve
Elizabeth Kate

flightofthesevenmillionbumblebees · 03/06/2022 22:28

Meredith Kate
Margot Eve (I'm not too keen on this pairing but eve is better than tess imo)
Reuben Christopher

Pieceofpurplesky · 03/06/2022 22:13

Margot, Elizabeth and Edward

Margot, Beth and Teddy

Margot Tess (although I would have Tess Margot)
Elizabeth Eve
Edward Christopher

Needanotherholidayasap · 03/06/2022 22:04

Elizabeth
Camilla
George

mrsfoof · 03/06/2022 21:57

One of the girls has to be Elizabeth given the week that she was born, surely Smile

Congratulations!

resm · 03/06/2022 21:41

Love your name lists and massive congratulations btw!

I like Margaret or Meredith with Elizabeth for your girls and Thomas for your baby boy.

Margaret Eve
Elizabeth Kate
Thomas Samuel

Let us know whatever you decide, don’t think you can go too wrong with any of your combinations. We had a little Thomas in Jan so I’m biased.

Candleabra · 03/06/2022 21:09

Daphne, Margot and George

your names are all so nice
And congratulations!

SunnyShiner · 03/06/2022 21:04

You could call them after the original MN triplets.

Faith, Hope and Kevin.

KylieCharlene · 03/06/2022 20:31

Meredith Eve
Elizabeth Kate
Thomas Samuel

Congratulations

17caterpillars1mouse · 03/06/2022 20:26

For girls definitely Elizabeth and Meredith. Is Elizabeth Margot an option if not I would choose

Elizabeth Eve
Meredith Kate
And
Jacob Samuel

Congratulations on your babies

Ameanstreakamilewide · 03/06/2022 19:54

Mary, Mungo and Midge.

Mumoftwoinprimary · 03/06/2022 19:54

Just to throw a spanner in the works…..

I think your middle names would be lovely as first names. Particularly Eve, Kate and Samuel.
