Triplets !!

[countingtotrois]

DH and I are expecting triplets after trying for a baby for 4 years and fertility treatments.
We found out last week 2 are boys and 1 girl.
We have been waiting for this for what feels like forever and are over the moon.

We like simple names, classic and timeless, but are now really struggling to pick 3 names. It doesn't help that because the names we like are so popular lots are already in the family so not useable like Daniel or Sophie

For baby boys we like

• James
• Joshua
• Jack
• Sam
• Adam
• Liam
• Thomas
• Matthew
• William

For baby girl we like

• Emma
• Katie
• Lucy
• Anna

DH loves Sam. Liam and Katie

I prefer Adam, Emma & Liam

Middle names we are hoping to use a variation of our names and our parents names which are

• Victoria
• Jane
• Paula - Paul?
• Jonathan
• Michael
• James

So probably

• ..... Victoria Jane
• ..... Jonathan Paul
• ..... Michael James

Our surname is 1 syllable and starts with S

Which combo do you like best?

How about Emmeline for your girl, Emme (Emmie) for short?

Liam, Adam and Emme?

James, william
and anna

They are nice names, my favourites from your lists would be
William James
Sam Jonathan
Anna Victoria

when they are diddy it wont matter, but calling up the stairs when they are about six, you may get either if if us both liam and sam- the endings are quite similar

Just not Thomas, Victoria and Harry as they will be Tom Vic and Harry

I wouldn’t worry about Emma Stone personally, it’s such a popular name, she’s not THAT famous, and by the time your daughter is old enough to care she’ll have faded away.

Emma Victoria Jane
Samuel Michael James
Matthew Jonathan Paul

Liam isn’t classic compared to the rest and is a but low rent (sorry) and Adam while nice sounds a bit too close to Sam.

I think all of your other boys names are nice, but Matthew and Joshua are the least used. I’d avoid Jack, William and James because they are very overdone right now.

If you ditch Emma, Katie is sweet but I’d go for the elegant Katherine as a full name as she may like that when she’s older. Anna is also lovely. Lucy is nice but a bit twee.

I've not heard of Emma stone but Michael Stone is a pretty notorious name and I wouldn't really use it for a child.

Defo not Sam Stone. Some alliterations work well but I’m not sure that’s one of them.

With a one syllable surname I’d choose a polysyllabic first name. I know you have longer middle names but they are not often used in RL.

Id also avoid too many similar sounds in both first and surnames eg Charlotte Stone, Margo Stone Tom Stone . Too many os and ts .

I like Alexander or Alexandra , Catherine, Henry, Miles ( from the names suggested so far ) .

James, Matthew and Lucy look good together for me!

Like Katie Victoria Jane, Joshua Michael James & Sam/Samuel Jonathan Paul

Peter, Seth and Nell Stone

You could run with the theme of you own first name @countingtotrois and go with some of these royals names from Queen Victoria’s children.

Arthur
William
Patrick
Edward

Alice
Helena
Louise/a
Beatrice
Mary
Caroline

Most work well with your selection of middle names, although some are not great with your surname, esp Beatrice and Alice ( S sounds too close together ).

Also works with other current royal names like Margarita, Alexandra, Catherine.

I wouldn't go for Sam and Emma together.

I'd go for Emma Jane Victoria
Adam Jonathan
James Michael

Congratulations!

Ooooh, If I was having triplets I'd call them:

Gilbert Joshua Charles (Gil)
Ronald Isaac Frank (Ron)
Magnolia Freda Selene (Noa)

Defo not Sam Stone. Some alliterations work well but I’m not sure that’s one of them

We didn't know the family name when the OP suggested Sam. I'm not a great fan of alliteration at all although some people really like it.

If it was me choosing from your list I'd probably go for:

James Joshua

Thomas William

Lucy Victoria

Emma Jane & Katie Jane are cute.
As is Anna Jane
clearly I like the Jane for a middle lol. But it rings so cute :)

Oh and congratulations

All nice names. I would play about with the order of the 2nd names.
My preferred names off your list ..

Emma Jane Victoria Stone
or
Katie Jane Victoria Stone

William James Michael Stone

and
Sam Jonathan Paul Stone
or
Thomas Paul Jonathan Stone
or
Adam Paul Jonathan Stone

Suggested combinations are ..

Emma, William and Sam
Emma, William and Thomas
Emma, William and Adam
Katie, Wiliam and Sam
Katie, William and Thomas - my fave
Katie, William and Adam

Congrats!!!

Others have said Emma may be out but I think Emma Stone is fine. Or you could use Emma as a middle name.
I really like Adam, Matthew, Katie.

Katie Jane Victoria Stone
Matthew Jonathan James Stone
Adam James (would say Michael but then that's James Michael so probs something else) Stone

As stand alone names I like Katie, Matthew, Adam, Jane and Anna best.

Congratulations!

Joshua Liam, Thomas James and Kathryn (Katy) Emma.

I think you've got some lovely names so I would use them for middle names as well. Otherwise does Paula really want to be turned into Paul and will the triplet that doesn't have mum or dads name feel a bit left out???

Joshua Stone
Liam Stone
Katie Stone

Joshua, Liam and Katie

Or Adam Stone also works.

The rest don't work with your surname in my opinion, they are too abrupt. (Matthew would be Matt Stone, Thomas would be Tom Stone). Anna sounds like and a Stone in my accent.

You both have Liam on your preferred lists, so that's one. Anna is lovely and very close to Emma, and I'd give them all 2 syllable names, so:

Anna Victoria Jane Stone
Liam Michael James Stone
Matthew Jonathan Paul Stone

Both mine and DHs names end S and our surname begins with S. It does make our first and second names run together and difficult to say so I’d say try and avoid this!

Try saying James stone….it’s tricky!

Thomas, Jack, Lucy
