Names for triplets

Hi, everyone!
We gave birth to triplets last Monday at 35 wks and they still have no name!
DH and I decided to leave the sex of the babies as a surprise, and we have been discussing baby names but it's so difficult to find first and middle names that work well together.
We have narrowed the middle names down to Tess, Eve and Kate for girls, and August, Christopher and Samuel for boys, but are still torn for first names.
Our list:
Meredith
Margot
Margaret (obviously we wouldn't use both Margot and Margaret)
Elizabeth
Daphne

George
Jacob
Edward
Reuben
Thomas
William

We currently have a DS Theodore Robert and a DD Julia Lois.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

We are quite overwhelmed at the moment so wouldn't be the worst choice 😅

Intrigued to know how you decide which girl will get which name?

Sunnyshoeshine · 03/06/2022 13:15

Meredith, Daphne and George

I would avoid Edward as if you already have a Theodore, both can be shortened to Ted.

I would also avoid Reuben as its everywhere (at least in our part of London) and im not convinced it's going to age well. Same goes for Margot.

Congratulations on the birth of your lovely babies!!

Triplets in my family. Mum just looked at them and knew which name belonged to which baby.

LostThePot · 03/06/2022 14:03

Just wanted to say congratulations on getting to 35 wks with triplets! That’s a massive achievement 💐
