Names for Triplets?

[cece636]

Hi, I've recently found out I'm having triplets; two girls and one boy. DP and I are over the moon, and have been writing baby names. We are currently disagreeing about a few, please express your opinions!

We Agree on:
Clementine
Penelope
Persephone
Ariadne
Pippi
Dodie
Edie
James
Thomas
Alex

Clarke

I Like:
Madeline
Elle
Josephine
Michael

Thank you!

Pippi sounds like a dog. Dodie is slang for a dummy /soother.
Are you in England?

Oh
Bloody
And Hell!!

I actually agree, I don't really like Pippi. As much as Dodie is slang, I genuinely like the name still.

I love Penelope, James and Thomas. Alexandria maybe?

Clementine
Penelope
Persephone
Edie
Thomas
Alex
Elise
Elouise - Spell it Eloïse
Madeline
Josephine

These are nice. The rest aren't. Dodie?!

Madeline, Elle & Alex

Some people have clearly not heard of Dodie Smith

It's a proper name and I have never heard it as slang for dummy. I prefer it to clementine. I also like Dulcie which you may not have thought of.

Dodie Smith's 'real' name was Dorothy. Dodie was a nickname.
I quite like Dorothy.

From your lists I would short list it to the following:

Clementine
James
Thomas
Alex
Elise
Jennifer
Eloise
Madeline
Josephine
Michael

Penelope. Edie and James or Thomas.

Thomas and Alex are nice.

You have plenty that you agree on, I don't think you need to add more to the list. From the ones you both like, I think these combinations are nice:
Penelope, Dodie and James
Clementine, Edie and Thomas

Of the names you both agree about, I like:
Penelope, Persephone, James and Thomas. From your list I like Elle.

But I guess you can't use Penelope and Persephone!

I'd maybe pick the name combo James, Persephone and Elle but I don't think they go well together!

Do either of you like the name Elodie? or Hermione/Marnie?

Or Xanthippe, shortened to Xan? Then you could have a James, Xan and Elle- they go well together as one syllable names.

They’re going to stand out as triplets. I dont think that “out there” names are going to do them any favours.
Edie and Alix for girls and Thomas for the boy? Out of your agreed names. Or Elise, Madeline and James as a mixture.

Persephone, Clementine (prefer Clemency) & Sebastian.

Elise is beautiful.

Pippi (or Pippa?) is ok but doesn't balance well with the other names. Philippa?

I'd go for Clementine, Penelope and Alexander/James

Good luck 😬

Persephone and Ariadne "go" together but none of your boys names really match them.

You could do Josephine, Jennifer and James - one from each of your lists - and Jenny, Josie and Jamie are cute nicknames.

Lark, Linnet and Wren

From your list, I would choose Penelope, Edith (Edie is a nick n but not a name) and Thomas, or Alexander.

Mary, Mungo And Midge.

Clementine
Penelope
Alexander

Clemmie
Penny
And Alex as nn

All lovely names which go well together but stand alone as well and are different enough to match their own personalities.

Groucho, Harpo and Chico.

Elise, Edie and Alex...
