Delphine & Raffaella are beautiful!

I really like Evander for a boy,
Evan for short if he likes.

ReginaPhalange89 · 13/09/2018 22:50

Raffaela and Delphine are the nicest from your girls list.... Sorry but Mercedes and Porcia sound so so tacky to me .

My favourite from the boys is Evander but it's very similar to Lysander ? Maybe too matchy

Foxglovesandprimroses · 13/09/2018 22:53

Portia is much nice than Porcia which sounds kind of porcine.

GuntyMcGee · 13/09/2018 23:02

I definitely thought Porcine from that spelling. Portia is nicer however Portia and Mercedes... hmmm not sure.

Evander is far too similar to Lysander.
How about Evangeline for one of the girls instead?

Personally I like Raphaella and Emmanuel but not keen on the others

Pearlton · 13/09/2018 23:44

Best wishes for your triplets 🙂

I love the names Rafaella and Delphine. I think they sound beautiful with your other names.
Boys names Evander and Mathis are nice.

Before I read your list of boys names, I was thinking of the names Gabriel, Angelo and Orlando as names for boys that would sound lovely with all those Smile

Let us know what you go for!

cakemurderer · 14/09/2018 00:42

I'll have a think about the Portia, not sure how I feel about that.

Orlando is lovely but just makes me think of Orlando Bloom (which isn't really a bad thing but I'd feel a bit like I was naming the baby after him)

Also really like Catalina for a girl and Thiago or Emiliano for a boy

Portia spelling I meant

Love Raffaela (although I'd spell it Raphaela I think, nn Raffy Smile) and Catalina for girls. Alternatively, Raphael for a boy? Also really like Emilio and Matteo, if those might work?

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 14/09/2018 01:15

With your naming style I'd go forMarcello
Raphaella and Delphine
Ipighengia is awful sorry op. It sounds like a tablet for blood pressure.

moredoll · 14/09/2018 01:17

Delphine
Mercedes

Not sure about your boys' names

TownHall · 14/09/2018 01:40

Leollan for a boy?

delphguelph · 14/09/2018 01:42

Triplets! Wow!

wafflyversatile · 14/09/2018 01:52

Marcello, Catalina and delphine.

Portia, Catalina and emanuel.

I like Carlotta but maybe too much like carmela.

wafflyversatile · 14/09/2018 01:58

Mind you with 3 of them to shout at you might be better with Ana Ava and Bob.

junebirthdaygirl · 14/09/2018 02:05

I was thinking the same as Waffly. 3 together will be hectic and can't imagine how you will have time for those very long names!! I'm sure they will be shortened within a day.
But l do realise that you have set a trend with your older ones so won't want to change now.
Hope all goes well with your triplets.

ladycarlotta · 14/09/2018 08:37

Congratulations on your triplets! How exciting!

Boys - Emanuel or Emiliano are my favourites; Evander I agree is too similar to Lysander.

Girls - Delphine, Raffaela and Mercedes are most to my taste, with Delphine and Raffaela favourites. I, too, am distracted by the spelling of Porcia, but I'm not crazy about the name anyway. Can't really bear Iphigeneia or any of those House of Atreus names - besides being a total mouthful, they are VERY loaded!

Sunflower321 · 14/09/2018 08:45

Love Raffaella! I'm not so keen on your boys suggestions but would choose Marcello.

How about
Matthias
Quentin
Emilio

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 14/09/2018 10:13

Lysander, Carmela and Delphine.
Lysander, Carmela and Mathis.
Catalina is lovely too !

Izzygrey · 14/09/2018 12:13

Of the boys names I love Evander, Lysander and Evander are too similar I think. Rafaela is beautiful! But I don't like the other girl names - Mercedes is particularly bad and reminds that trashy woman from Hollyoaks. What about Ophelia? Leonora? Evanthe?

Izzygrey · 14/09/2018 12:14

Actually, Emanuel is nice. What about Caspian?

LoveAGoodChat · 14/09/2018 12:18

Raffaella and Delphine is lovely op

How is Iphigeneia pronounced?

Emanuel, Marcello and Mathis are all lovely too

Have you thought about Anastasia, Evangeline, Genevieve, Odette, Persephone (Per-seh-foe-nee)?

WrongKindOfFace · 14/09/2018 12:23

I’m always surprised when the priority of people having triplets (or more) is to think of names.

ReginaPhalange89 · 14/09/2018 12:27

@wrongkindofface What do you mean by that ? 🤔 I'm sure she has thought of lots of important things already..... Naming 3 must be quite a lot so yeah I'd say it is important to plan in advance!

EthelThePiratesDaughter · 14/09/2018 12:45

Delphine is lovely.

I think Rafaella has one F, and Emmanuel should have two Ms.

Portia should definitely be spelt with a T. I'm not sure that Porcia is actually a name, and would look like you'd called your daughter "pig". Porcia. Porcine. Nope. Don't do it.

Evander is quite nice, but too similar to Lysander IMO.

Not at all keen on your other names, sorry.

It sounds like you quite like Shakespearian names. Some more Shakespearian suggestions:

Nerissa
Viola
Miranda
Helena
Adriana
Cassandra
Hermione
Ophelia
Perdita

Any of those to your taste?

strawberrypenguin · 14/09/2018 12:46

Evander, Delphine and Mercedes. Congratulations!
