Hi all on here,

I'm a very long time lurker - have been since my first ever pregnancy. However, unfortunately, we haven't had a child since a couple of weeks ago. IVF and 6 years later, 3 little miracles entered the world and they belong to us. I haven't wanted to take part with all the threads until I was officially a mummy. They are almost 3 weeks and I can just about begin to see their personalities come through, as multiples tend to be early, I've only just really been able to spend lots of time with them. Names are now a must.

Yes, we have had lots of ideas, but we have to think of 6 perfect names and that's becoming a really difficult task. We thought about family names, but none are particularly lovely. However, we are fans of 'filler' middle names, but I know they're not particularly liked on here, but if none sound right with our chosen names, we may not have middle names, as much to my family's disgust! We just haven't decided.

Sorry about the long post! We have 2 daughters and a son... Boys names are therefore a lot easier. Yeah, we have a lot of ideas, but there's just too many.

We like classics for boys or biblical, so names like:
Alexander
Benjamin
Charles
Daniel
Henry
Jacob
James
Louis
Matthew
Oliver
William

For girls, we vary a lot, we like such a variety:
Annabelle
Charlotte
Ella
Grace
Isabella
Lily
Olivia
Rose

There are more and definitely open to suggestions.

Thank you all so much and very pleased to be a part of this community :)

Hello Matthew! Fabulous choice Smile x

Daydreambelievers · 10/04/2016 20:26

Matthew.wonderful choice,looking forward to hearing the names of your two beautiful girls🌻

leoniethelioness · 10/04/2016 20:40

Congratulations on beautiful baby Matthew and his gorgeous sisters.

I'll suggest Abigail and Lydia or Martha and Joanna or Charlotte and Alexandra for his sisters.

overwhelmed34 · 10/04/2016 20:55

This is the best baby name thread ever! Hello gorgeous Matthew!

marshmallowpies · 10/04/2016 22:05

Bless his cotton socks! My DH is a Matthew and it's served him pretty well in life, so I definitely approve Grin

Miloarmadillo1 · 10/04/2016 22:31

Congratulations on naming Matthew!

How about Naomi ( my delight) and Abigail (father's joy)

Raines100 · 10/04/2016 22:31

Oh, how absolutely delightful! Congratulations, OP! What gorgeous little bundles.
Matthew is fabulous. He is definitely a Matthew. Your list is to my taste, so I think you can't go wrong whatever you decide for those little girlies. My personal faves would be Charlotte and Annabelle. Rose and Grace rather lend themselves to mn. Charlotte Rose and Annabelle Grace? Do let us know what you decide- and good luck with the expressing I couldn't express enough to fill an egg up

JSarah · 10/04/2016 22:36

I'm glad you all like the name Matthew! He's so very handsome! I love him!!!

I don't have separate photos of the girls, only of one of them as one is struggling to not cry when taken away on her own, it's the saddest little thing! She is the smallest, so maybe that has something to do with it, but I didn't want to just post one of them, so I won't do that!

I love all the suggestions, they really are fab, but I suppose we can only pick 2!

I'm actually sooo nervous to announce these, I don't think they're going to be that loved tbh, but I suppose if we love them, that's okay :)

Well, their names are:

Francesca and Gabriella!

I really loved them as soon as their nurse suggested them and we looked at each other and just fell in love! It's also nice because Matthew was born first (2 syllables) and then we couldn't decide how to give each of them the name, so whoever was second, got the 3 syllable name (Francesca) and whoever was last, got the 4 syllable one! Gabriella. Also, the girls' names both have 9 letters :) so they all fit in together in a really unnoticeable way!

Matthew, Francesca and Gabriella = absolute perfection

I just found this! Congratulations, beautiful names for beautiful babies FlowersFlowersFlowers

Artandco · 10/04/2016 23:13

Lovely.

If your looking for middle names based on your list also I would go for:

Matthew Alexander
Francesca Grace
Gabriella Elise

feelingmiffed · 10/04/2016 23:16

Personally I would have called them Gorgeous, Gorgeous and Gorgeous

However I suppose your names with do Wink

Only kidding Grin. They are an absolute blessing, I hope you are ready for lots of fun I may be a tiny bit jealous

Miz10 · 10/04/2016 23:22

Congratulations, I love
Matthew, Isabella and Lily
these were all in my list of names for my last dc also
Matthew Lily and Rose
Has a nice sound to it Smile

Daydreambelivers · 10/04/2016 23:25

Beautiful names for the most beautiful babies!! Matthew George,Francesca Grace and Gabriella Rose.

marinerkk2 · 10/04/2016 23:36

Broody! Beautiful names beautiful babies xx

Raines100 · 11/04/2016 06:28

Ooo yes, loving Francesca and Gabriella. As I said, your choices are to my taste. And the syllable thing is cute.
MN suggestion if you still need it: Matthew Benjamin, Francesca Marie & Gabriella Rose. Then everybody gets 5 syllables in total. Or you could use Gregory, Marie & Faye to make up the 5 using the first letter of each other's names? I'm thinking about this too much now, aren't I?
Congrats on your beautiful family Wink

nectarini1983 · 11/04/2016 07:00

Great choices - congratulations!

BendydickCuminsnatch · 11/04/2016 07:26

OMG I am soooooo glad you chose those names!!!!! So much nicer, more unusual and glam, than your original list Grin sounds rude saying that but you clearly agree. They go really well with Matthew too.

bakeoffcake · 11/04/2016 07:38
