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!

Congratulations.
Hope you can both get moments of rest.
All lovely names. The only thing I would do is make sure you all have a different initial - although 5 children with different first initials and yourselves is going to be tricky. It just will make things a little bit easier.

Congratulations

I'd definitely use the name Elizabeth;you had your babies in the queens platinum jubilee week

The queens sister is Margaret.

I'd go with William for a boy and definitely use the middle name kate with one of the girls

WildCherryBlossom · 04/06/2022 02:18

Daphne Kate
Margot Tess
George August

Congrats OP!

@giat5 your overwhelmed I'd rethink them all. Or ask other kids I bet they have better suggestions, then more meaningful aswell

Starbeach · 04/06/2022 09:06

Not sure I like any if your middle names sorry the girls they seem a little clunky with your first name choices

Margot Elizabeth
Tess Rose
Ruben Thomas

Fivebeanchilli · 04/06/2022 11:11

Congratulations! Your other children's names are lovely.

I would go for:
Meredith Kate
Elizabeth Tess
William August

But Daphne Tess would be a close second to Elizabeth

GetTheGoodLookingGuy · 04/06/2022 14:19

Elizabeth Kate
Meredith Eve
Reuben Christopher

Jennarator · 04/06/2022 18:59

I would keep to 3 syllables same as your other kids.

so:

Elizabeth Kate
Meredith Eve
William Samuel
