Triplets

[Tedtomtim]

DH and I are expecting triplets after many rounds of IVF and a lot of patience.
Babies are two girls and a boy. I’d say our naming style is simple and classic, our ideas right now are

• Anna
• Emma
• Lucy
• Grace
• Sophie
• Eve

• James
• Harry
• Jack
• Adam
• Liam
• Zach

My favourite combination is Emma, Harry & Sophie, DH likes Anna, Emma & Jack

Thoughts?

Congratulations! Agree with the others that Emma and Anna are just a bit too similar.

I think I would pick:
Emma Grace
Sophie Eve
Adam James

All 2 syllable first names but with different beginning and ending sounds, and all one syllable middle names. Feels neat ha. But I think any combination of your names would be lovely.

I like Emma and Anna and Zach and Adam.

Every other girl is an Evie, so I wouldn’t choose Eve and Sophie is so popular. They’ll just be Sophie ‘lastname ’.

Oh
Blooming

And heck for the boy...

I went to school a long time ago with triplets Laura, Victoria and James and I still think those are a lovely combination.

I would pick Anna, Sophie and James. I think Anna and Emma are too samey

Eve and Anna are two of my favourite girls names and have been for years. It’s Eva and Evie which are most used rather than Eve. None of the boys names are my taste but I’d pick James from your list.

In contrast - I have a 19 year old Eva. She has only ever met 2 others in her entire life yet knows loads of Eves and Evies. 3 Eves + 2 Evies in her school year, she is the only Eva.

I know 2 sets of sisters called Anna and Emma. I don't think the names are too similar but they do have the same vibe.

Congratulations @Tedtomtim 👧👦👧

Emma, Lucy and Jack

Thank you everyone.

We also live the name Laura but worry it’s a little dated?
Emma is definitely set in stone.

I like Emma, Laura and James too, or even Jack

Anna, Emma and James

Love Emma Sophie and Jack or Harry

Congratulations and good luck!

Emma, Alice and William? (or James)

Laura isn’t dated! There’s a Laura at my children’s primary school. And tbh it’s refreshing compared to Sophie/Eve.

I like all of your choices, especially the top three on each list. I’d pick Emma, Lucy and James. Or, I’d swap Lucy for Alice.

This is interesting

I never thought of how my children's names sound together . Just went with what we liked . Is this a twin / triplet thing ? Or is it just me that doesn't think that far .
I did put uncle and auntie in front of our children's names to see if I liked the names for adults ( not just children )

I think if it was me I would be looking at themes . Nature maybe
Robin or Jay , Wren and Paloma ?
Aster ( means flower ) Daisy , Lily

I did have a friend who swore he had a twin nephew and niece called cash and Carrie ! But I never met them

Congratulations btw ,

I was going to say Sophie, Grace & Jack too!

Congratulations OP!

I love Emma, Lucy and Harry. Best wishes

I will add to this that since having my own Eva 11 years ago, we’ve only ever met 1 other and that was on holiday in Greece. There are 7 Evie’s in her primary school and 2 Eves. We also used to go to playgroup with a different Eve when DD was a toddler. Eva isn’t half as popular as mumsnet always seems to assume.

You will spend the rest of your life saying the names together, so don’t choose anything too similar , like Anna / Eva/ Emma or Lucy and Sophie.

And no It doesn’t stop when they leave home, you will still be phoning Emma when she’s 50 telling her that Anna wants her to phone Evan about something. So make life easier for you and everyone else by choosing names that sound different. It’s not hard, there are dozens of beautiful classic names.

Personally Id chose middle names to honour someone on each side of your families ( I’m assuming you won’t have any more kids ! ). So if the babies have your surname, chose one from your side and two from your husband’s side of the family. Or vice Versa.

It’s such a lovely name and DD adores it! Pity that so many MN posters seem to love shooting it down as overused when in our experience it really isn’t.

Emma, Laura and Jack or James are lovely choices.

Tbf, all your names are nice.
I was coming to say 100% make sure they have different initials (as you had both Emma and Eve in your list).

Massive congratulations. Both lovely sets of classic names, I don’t think there’s a bad choice to be had.
You could always use them all and make them as middle names?

All lovely. I’d go Anna, Lucy and James

I have an Emma and a Zach - so we have similar taste.
Other names I considered were:
Zoe
Katie
Finlay
Hannah
