Opinions for triplets!

We are blessed enough to be having triplets due next month - a boy and two girls!

90% sure that DH and I are certain on their names but something in me keeps saying that they’re just not right. I’m Irish and he’s English, living in Northern Ireland but planning a move abroad in the future so we’ve chosen names that represent both our backgrounds yet are still quite mainstream and (hopefully) easy to pronounce. Any opinions good or bad very welcomed!

Conor Alexander
Maeve Isabel
Beatrice Fiadh (pronounced Fia, as in Mia)

Congratulations! Lovely names. I don't think the names have to 'match' and if Beatrice is your favourite name, you might kick yourself of you don't use it. If a friend called their child Beatrice, will you look at her and feel regret you didn't go for it, for example?

@DesertSnow Yes, their names are all definitely solid now, thank goodness. Beatrice has been my favourite name since I can remember so not to use just didn’t feel right! Very glad I went with my gut in the end x

Update: all 3 babies arrived safely (albeit a bit early) on Wednesday. In NICU but all doing really well and expected to be discharged over the next few weeks. We have decided to go for our original ideas:

Conor Alexander
Maeve Isabel
Beatrice Fiadh

Thank you so much everyone for all of your help and well wishes!! X

Congratulations! Hope you're all doing well. Definitely reach out to local multiple groups, mums of multiples are the best. It's a rollercoaster but it DEFINITELY gets easier so hold that thought when it gets overwhelming in the first few months.

SO thrilled for you all! Best of luck in the busy busy time ahead.

Your names are perfect, love them all.

Congratulations. I hope you and the babies are doing well.

All the names are beautiful. You were right to go with Beatrice, I think you'd regret not going with a name you always loved 😍
