Just a fun game! If you found out you were pregnant with triplet girls.. what would you name them?!

•would you make them matchy such as same letter initials
•would you make them completely different
•would you give them the same middle names or different?

I can't be 100% sure but I think I'd pick out of..

Daphne
Cecily/Cecilia (CeCe)
Penelope
Felicie
Adelie
Margaux

Please tell me what you would choose from! X

Definitely the same middle name:

April May
June May
January May

But only if they were born in October.

Thea

More seriously.. Juliet, Martha and Alexandra.

No theme, no same letter. and definitely not the same middle name! Never even heard of that as a thing!

Girls:
Bethan
Juliet
Amy

Boys:
Kit (Christopher)
Rowan
Benjamin

I would pick names that were similar in number of letters/sounds

TheFive · 03/03/2021 11:12

Hmmm...maybe an Irish theme (I’m Irish). I didn’t give my DC Irish makes and slightly regretful of that sometimes.

Maeve, Niamh & Clodagh
Maeve, Niamh & Saoirse
Maeve, Saoirse & Roisin
Liadan, Saoirse & Roisin

Irish names

Polecat03 · 03/03/2021 11:22

Rose, Bonnie & Ramona

thesecretvoter · 03/03/2021 11:29

Jane, Janet and Janette 😁

Megan2018 · 03/03/2021 11:29

Harriet
Verity
Beatrix

I already have a Felicity.

Matching names, themes etc is hideous.

Megan2018 · 03/03/2021 11:30

@thesecretvoter DH’s mother has one of those names and a sister with another! Grin

CeibaTree · 03/03/2021 11:31

I'd go for nature names, maybe Willow, Jasmine and Amber.

TeenMinusTests · 03/03/2021 11:36

Eve, Ava, Eva

Or more sensibly: Rebecca, Tamara, & Leah

Froppysue · 03/03/2021 11:39

Probably a mixture of these in my head, in real life dh would never agree and we’d have bland normal names - or he’d run off at the shock of triplets and I could name them whatever I liked Grin

Blythe, Lyra and Noah

Blythe, Quinn, Lyra

Noah, Tobias, Aster

Greenandcabbagelooking · 03/03/2021 11:42

Rosalind Joy (Rosie)
Caroline Jessie (Carrie)
Eleanor Elizabeth (Ellie)

bluechameleon · 03/03/2021 11:50

Matilda, Harriet and Genevieve. Or Penelope for one of them if I'm also allowed to change my surname in this game. And maybe Eloise for one if I'm allowed to change the names of my existing children.

BlackSabbath · 03/03/2021 11:52

Heather
Hazel
And Fearne

HurricaneBitch · 03/03/2021 11:53

Constance
Nancy
Eliza

bluechameleon · 03/03/2021 11:53

Ooh, maybe if I'm changing my existing children's names I'd also have a Beatrice. So I'm up to sextuplets now... if I have to pick three I'm going for Matilda, Beatrice and Penelope. I like that they are all different first letters, different numbers of syllables but similar style. And several nickname options for each.

TeacupDrama · 03/03/2021 12:00

no theme or same initials or rhyming but roughly grouped ie

Elizabeth, Rachel and Sarah or or Kayla, Macey and Chelsea or Willow Jasmine and Rose but not a mixture of types such as KJ Ellie May, Elizabeth Martha and Willow Amber

GreeboIsMySpiritAnimal · 03/03/2021 12:05

I don't like matchy names, and I don't want them having the same initials as my other two DC (which rules out Edith and Jocelyn, which is a shame as I love both!)

So I think I'd go for:

  • Matilda
  • Imogen
  • Hope

Boys would be:

  • Samuel (nn Sam)
  • Tobias (nn Toby)
  • Leo

Both because I love the names, and I love the West Wing! Grin

Mamamamasaurus · 03/03/2021 12:06

Live, laugh and love. Obviously.
