it is getting closer and closer - our triplets will not be A, B and C !

[poppysmithnow]

AHHH - we thought that naming 1 would be hard but now it is getting closer and closer to b-day it is getting really really hard. So can we please have some help in coming up with names for our triplets.

We need names for 3 boys and 3 girls as we don't know sex (2 id, 1 not)

I quiet like the idea of their names having something in common. (I'm a twin and me a Dtb have the same mn just male and female versions which we always liked).
But still want all their mn(s?) to be welsh if fn isn't (as I am but DH isn't and we don't live anywhere near Wales - at all, actually we live in the US (DP is American).

So our rough shortlist:

Sara
Mary (family name)
Cassie
Erica
Callie
Catriona (family name)
Nell
Rae
Veronica
Lena
Mina
Larissa
Carmel
Alana

James
Ross
Jude
Andrew
Elmo
Logan
Iestyn
Iolo (family name)
Zaine
Leo
Lucas
Fin
Riley

Help!!! and thanks :)

congratulations but I can't help with the naming bit as I struggled naming twins!!!!! My 4 all have popular names and twin 2 threw us by being a boy then not suiting the name we had chosen

From your girls i think Sara, Mary and Nell sound lovely.

Wow, congratulations on the upcoming arrival of your triplets! How exciting!

Top 3 boys:
jude
Riley (considering this myself)
Fin

Girls:
Cassie
Sara
Lena

Good luck!

I'm not helpful but I went to school with girl triplets called
Nina Rina and Tina
Nice

I like Logan, Iestyn and Fin from the boys!

Ok, here are my thoughts on your list ...

Sara - much prefer (in fact, love, Sarah)
Mary (family name) - I love Mary. It's so pretty. I could never use it because of my accent, pfft.
Cassie - love this.
Erica - don't like.
Callie - hmm, not keen. Definitely would use with Cassie.
Catriona (family name) - I like this.
Nell - I like this but prefer Helena
Rae - not keen.
Veronica - horrid.
Lena - same as for Nell, I would use Helena and then choose between the nn's
Mina - love this.
Larissa - not keen
Carmel - this is a cross between camel and caramel. Don't like.
Alana - don't like.

My favourites are
Cassie, Helena (Nell or Lena), Sarah and Mary

James - nice.
Ross - dislike for no reason that I can put my finger on.
Jude - ok.
Andrew - same as Ross.
Elmo - no.
Logan - no.
Iestyn - how do you pn this?
Iolo (family name) - how do you pn this?
Zaine - ok.
Leo - nice.
Lucas - ok.
Fin - nice.
Riley - ok.

I don't love any of your boys names. I like James and Fin the best.

Hard. I can find 2 boys and 2 girls names on your list I like (Leo and Finn, Lena and Callie)

How about: Ioan, Leo and Finn for boys, And: Carys, Callie and Lena for girls?

Iestyn - love this. Pronounce Yestyn I think.

Triplets, how exciting!

From the list of names, my favourite three are:

Erica
Catriona (family name)
Nell

Ross
Leo
Lucas

Iestyn is Yes-tin
Iolo i like yollo/Yo-lo

I like Nell from the girls list and Andrew, James, Leo and Finn from the boys.

I like these:

Sara
Mary
Cassie
Nell
Larissa
Alana

James
Jude
Andrew
Leo

Mary (family name) - you could always have it Mari so the welsh version
Cassie
Erica
Callie
Nell
Rae - as mn
Mina
Larissa
Alana

Jude
Andrew
Elmo - as a mn it would be funky I think
Iestyn
Iolo (family name)
Zaine
Riley

You want something connecting their names so you could have the same last 2 initials (mn and last name). So like mn beginning with R - Rae, Rhys, Rhiannon etc

Seren is a lovely Welsh name for a girl
Fin[n] is more Irish I think
Bryn?
Mary is beautiful and much underused these days
errrr
Seren Sophia Sadie Sukey Shona
not sure of boys though-there is a boy in the Susan Cooper books called Bran-with a long aaa sound-I like that.

Sara - like
Mary (family name) - like agree with jason about mari
Cassie - really like
Erica - nope
Callie - really like
Catriona (family name) - nope
Nell - not as a full name
Rae - mn only
Veronica - nope
Lena - yes
Mina - really like
Larissa - like
Carmel - if your part irish then yes otherwise maybe to much out of box
Alana - really like

James - like
Ross - nope
Jude - like
Andrew - love Drew as a nn
Elmo - love as a mn
Logan - gilmore so it is alright
Iestyn - it is alright
Iolo (family name) - really like
Zaine - love
Leo - nope
Lucas - nope
Fin - yes
Riley - yes.

Like the idea of having a mn with same initial.
Seren I don't like. I thought shona was irish/gaelic?
Bryn is nice - you could go for all Bs ?
