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!

Congratulations to you all, what a lovely family.

All I can think is, life is going to be pretty frantic with 5 kids so to save time I suggest you give all of them a one-syllable name.

Appleseesaw · 03/06/2022 16:37

Congratulations! I love Meredith and Elizabeth on your list. As for boys names, the only one I’m not so keen on Jacob as I dislike the shortening of Jake, but ultimately it’s what you like that’s important. How incredibly exciting for you!

Delilahwasframed · 03/06/2022 16:29

Not Meredith or Reuben. Neither go with your current DC’s names.
All the other are fine. I like Thomas. It’s not so common these days, but will you want two boys with T initials?

Caspianberg · 03/06/2022 16:19

Meredith Willow
Daphne Elisabeth
Edward George

Triplets in my family. Mum just looked at them and knew which name belonged to which baby.
