hi all my s/o and i are expecting triplets in june , 2 boys and 1 girl. we have already decided on Alexander Grey for one of the boys. we are choosing between Josiah and Louis for the other boy but have no mn ideas.

as for the girl, we have picked out Elise,Ella and Eliza but are stuck on which to choose. perhaps Frances for the middle name but open to any others (no grace, marie)

any suggestions on the girls and boy name? our surname is french

Alexander, Louis and Eliza

All your boys names are lovely but a small word of note. Any Hamilton fan would raise an eyebrow at the Alexander and Eliza combination. Smile

FASDE1517 · 19/04/2021 16:05

Alexander, Louis and Eliza are the nicest names but I'm also not sure I'd put Alexander and Eliza together because of Hamilton!

Bootskates · 19/04/2021 16:13

I like Louis and Elise Smile

EileenGC · 19/04/2021 16:17

Alexander, Louis and Elise are my favourite combination.

Alexander, Louis and Eliza
I have no idea about the Hamilton connection!

sarah13xx · 19/04/2021 16:25

I’d absolutely go Louis!

Elise was my favourite name for sooo long but I do also love Ella. I think the fact Elise is a bit more unusual would probably make me go for that

KitchenWarrior · 19/04/2021 16:43

Elise is lovely but aren't Alex and Elise quite similar sounding. It might be a little confusing.

Similarly Eliza and Josiah.

Other than those I think all of your options are lovely.

Synchrony · 19/04/2021 17:08

I wouldn't choose Josiah, Alexander and Eliza/Ella because they all have an "a" sounding ending. A bit matchy.

I also wouldn't choose Louis with Elise as they sound too similar to me.

I prefer Ella to Eliza.

So I'd choose Alexander, Josiah and Elise, or Alexander, Louis and Ella.

MissyB1 · 19/04/2021 17:12

Alexander, Louis and Elise.

M0rT · 19/04/2021 17:16

Alexander has a completely different sounding ending in my accent to Josiah and Eliza, so may not be a problem for the op?
I really like Alexander, Josiah and Elise.
Alex and Elise may run together if you intend shortening it to Alex though.

Alexander, Josiah and Eliza

Crappyfridays7 · 19/04/2021 18:02

Louis and Elise or Elle not an Ella fan Eliza is nice too, could you call her Elizabeth she could also be Beth. Congratulations on your lovely trio.

ILoveShula · 19/04/2021 20:41

I'd go for shorter names, as you'll be saying the three names a lot in the first few years. You'll also be saying the names together a lot, so Alexander, Louis and Elise will be more trouble than say Ann, Ben and Charlie.

Lulu1919 · 19/04/2021 20:56

Eliza is lovely
Eliza Jane or Faith

Josiah is great too .....
Middle names ...mmmm

Josiah Blue
Henri

Chilldonaldchill · 19/04/2021 21:15

Alexander Grey is great.
I think Louis will be better with it than Josiah.
I'd pick Eliza because I don't like Elle or Elise I'm afraid. I think Hamilton is a good connection rather than a bad one.
Middle names:
How about:
Louis Ned
Louis Felix
Louis Fox
Louis Jack
Louis Teddy
Eliza Sophie
Eliza Scarlett (but then I think you'd need Louis Blue so they all get colours as middle names!)
Eliza Ruby (ditto)
Eliza Harriet
Eliza Polly

How exciting. I love Alexander, Louis & Ella.

sorry, I am showing my age, vaguely remember this from childhood, am 50 this year

wanderedlonelyasacloud · 19/04/2021 22:15

I like Alexander, Louis and Elise the best!

dottiedaisee · 20/04/2021 00:08

Alexander , Louis and Eliza ...three beautiful classy names

AforAlexandra · 20/04/2021 08:09

i don’t think i’m intending on shortening his name to Alex unless in the future he wants to. similarly, i think because of my accent i don’t find that they sound the same so it isn’t really a concern for me

AforAlexandra · 20/04/2021 08:15

yeah, i see a lot of people posting about Alex and Elise sounding the smae but i think because of i accent i don’t find it so, it’s not that much of a problem for me. i don’t intend on shortening it to Alex unless he wants to in the future

Alexander Louis and Elise go well together!

PlainJane1000 · 20/04/2021 09:45

Another vote for Louis and Elise. Congratulations and all the best with your triplets! I'm carrying one and it feels like a lot!
