Conflicting Styles and Little Time! Help Please!

Name Advice
1

Hey everyone, so my husband and I are expecting triplets in a couple weeks! We are extremely excited, we are having two boys and a daughter. However, we cannot agree on naming styles for the children! My husband likes names like [name]Robert[/name] and [name]Edward[/name] for the boys, and [name]Marianne[/name] ([name]Mary[/name]-ann) for our daughter. However, I strongly dislike all of these names.

My style is more vintage and uncommon, I like [name]Quintin[/name], [name]Elliot[/name], [name]Jasper[/name], [name]Rourke[/name], and [name]Cedric[/name] for the boys, and for our daughter: [name]Beatrice[/name], [name]Theodora[/name], [name]Charlotte[/name], [name]Amelia[/name], etc.

Our last name is White, and we’d like to use Irish middle names for all 3, since my maiden name is [name]McKenzie[/name]. Any suggestions are welcome; thank you soooo much! :slight_smile:

Thank you so much for your quick response and suggestions!

To elaborate: We really want 3 names that go well together, with Irish surnames. I’d also like uncommon/unusual vintage names, but not too wild or trendy sounding, since the husband isn’t into that at all! Thanks again, and please keep the suggestions coming! :slight_smile:
