Naming our triplets! Help!

General Name Discussion

Hello berries!

This is my first time posting, so allow me to introduce myself. My name is [name]Lucy[/name] [name]Cooper[/name]. My husband, [name]Matt[/name], and I have two amazing children, [name]Josiah[/name] (4) and [name]Abigail[/name] (2). We call them [name]Jed[/name] and [name]Abby[/name]. We decided to have just one more, but were shocked to discover we’re expecting triplets! We’ve decided to be suprised, so we need 3 names for each sex.

As you can tell, we love classic names. We want something that is classic and timeless, but not too popular. Because of our last name ([name]Cooper[/name]), we try to avoid names that end in -er. We were having a hard time coming up with one name, let alone six, so we really need help! Any suggestions, thoughts, comments, etc. are greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
[name]Lucy[/name]

[name]Isaac[/name]
[name]Caleb[/name]
[name]Timothy[/name]
[name]Zachary[/name]
[name]Christopher[/name]
[name]Philip[/name]
[name]Nathaniel[/name]

[name]Do[/name] you like any of those?

Also, it might be nice to pick either shorter names or names with nick names. It is much easier to yell out “[name]Tim[/name], [name]Will[/name], and [name]Nate[/name]” then it is “[name]Timothy[/name], [name]William[/name], and [name]Nathaniel[/name].”
Seeing as you are having three little ones at once, it might help simplify things.

Thanks for the advice! Now that you mention it, I defintely want names with cute, and short, nicknames.

Thanks for all of your suggestions too!

[name]Charlotte[/name] - I used to love it, but fear it’s too popluar.
[name]Eleanor[/name] - I love the nickname [name]Nellie[/name]! Not sure, but I might like the [name]Elinor[/name] spelling more.

Boys:

You really seemed to get our style! We have a lot to think about now.

[name]Henry[/name] could be nicknamed [name]Hank[/name].

Congrats! I’m amazed - your naming style is just like mine. You’ve already got some great suggestions.

What’s your middle name style? Are you going to use family names?

6

Wow! Congrats on the triplets! :slight_smile:

Girls:
[name]Natalie[/name]-- [name]Nellie[/name] would be a great nn for [name]Natalie[/name]!
[name]Caroline[/name] – I love this! [name]Caroline[/name] is my favorite girl’s name.
[name]Elizabeth[/name] – I love [name]Libby[/name] for a nn.
[name]Caroline[/name], [name]Elizabeth[/name] and [name]Natalie[/name] would make a great sib-set! :smiley:
Some other ideas: [name]Audrey[/name], [name]Claire[/name] or [name]Clara[/name], [name]Anna[/name], [name]Eliza[/name].

Boys:
[name]Henry[/name]-- [name]Hank[/name] is a nice nn.
[name]Oliver[/name] - cute! [name]Love[/name] nn [name]Ollie[/name]!
[name]Zachary[/name] - loving this! I love [name]Zach[/name]/ [name]Zack[/name]! Which spelling do you prefer?–I see [name]Zach[/name] most of the time.
Some other boy’s names: [name]Benjamin[/name], [name]Simon[/name], [name]Alexander[/name], [name]Ethan[/name].

You and I share similar taste, I think!

If I had had my choice, we would have named my daughter [name]Amelia[/name] (though I was concerned that it was becoming too popular for my taste). If you don’t want to have two A names, you could also spell it [name]Emilia[/name]. I loved all the nickname options for [name]Amelia[/name]: [name]Amy[/name], [name]Lia[/name], [name]Melia[/name], [name]Mia[/name]…but my favorite was [name]Millie[/name]. My husband shot down [name]Amelia[/name] really fast, though… :cry:

Our boy choice for my daughter was [name]Julian[/name], also shot down by my husband. I thought maybe we could call him [name]Ian[/name] for short. After [name]Julian[/name], I suggested [name]Oliver[/name], and that became our boy name. Nn would have been [name]Olly[/name]!

We ended up naming my daughter [name]Genevieve[/name], and I do love all the nn possibilities it has too: [name]Genny[/name], [name]Evie[/name], [name]Eve[/name], [name]Gigi[/name], [name]Neve[/name], [name]Gen[/name], [name]Genna[/name]. We had planned to call her [name]Evie[/name], but it seems to be becoming very popular here in the U.S. (super, super popular in the U.K. right now), and I was concerned about that. So now I find myself calling her [name]Genny[/name] quite often, when I’m not calling her Sweet Pea or Stinky. :smiley:

Here are some other names I love that I think would fit with your other kids. Sorry if there are any duplicates!:

[name]Susannah[/name] (nn [name]Susy[/name])
[name]Thomasina[/name] (nn [name]Tamsin[/name])
[name]Veronica[/name] (nn [name]Vera[/name], Vee, [name]Nica[/name])
[name]Vivian[/name]/[name]Vivienne[/name] (nn [name]Vivie[/name])
[name]Penelope[/name] (nn [name]NELLIE[/name]! I love it too :wink: )
[name]Rebecca[/name] (nn [name]Becky[/name])

And I adore [name]Eleanor[/name], nn [name]Nellie[/name]. That would be so lovely with your [name]Abigail[/name]/[name]Abby[/name] and [name]Josiah[/name]/[name]Jed[/name]. I think if you had three girls, [name]Eleanor[/name], [name]Susannah[/name], and either [name]Caroline[/name] or [name]Katherine[/name] would be so adorable!

For boys:

[name]Frederick[/name] (nn [name]Freddie[/name])
[name]Patrick[/name] (nn [name]Pat[/name] or [name]Rick[/name])
[name]Nicholas[/name] (nn [name]Nick[/name] or maybe [name]Colin[/name]?)
[name]Hugo[/name] (nn [name]Hugh[/name])
[name]Theodore[/name] (nn [name]Theo[/name])
[name]Garrett[/name] (nn [name]Rhett[/name]…I hate [name]Gary[/name]!)
[name]Gavin[/name] (nn Gav)

Like the earlier suggestion of [name]Henry[/name], nn [name]Hank[/name]. If you had three boys, I’d say: [name]Oliver[/name], [name]Henry[/name], and [name]Frederick[/name]!

Good luck, and congrats! [name]Hope[/name] you have a healthy, happy, uneventful pregnancy!

Congrats! with [name]Josiah[/name] ([name]Jed[/name]) and [name]Abigail[/name] ([name]Abby[/name]), I like:

[name]Zachary[/name] nn [name]Zack[/name] (I like the K, I don’t know why)
[name]Benjamin[/name] nn [name]Ben[/name]
[name]Elijah[/name] or [name]Elias[/name] nn [name]Eli[/name]

[name]Susannah[/name] nn [name]Susy[/name] or [name]Sanne[/name]
[name]Natalie[/name] nn [name]Nellie[/name]
[name]Elizabeth[/name] nn [name]Libby[/name] (if you think [name]Libby[/name] is too close to [name]Abby[/name], I also like [name]Betsy[/name])

Various gender mixes:
[name]Zachary[/name], [name]Benjamin[/name] and [name]Elijah[/name] ([name]Zack[/name], [name]Ben[/name] and [name]Eli[/name])
[name]Elizabeth[/name], [name]Susannah[/name] and [name]Natalie[/name] ([name]Libby[/name], [name]Sanne[/name] and [name]Nellie[/name])
[name]Zachary[/name], [name]Benjamin[/name] and [name]Susannah[/name] ([name]Zack[/name], [name]Ben[/name] and [name]Sanne[/name])
[name]Zachary[/name], [name]Susannah[/name] and [name]Natalie[/name] ([name]Zack[/name], [name]Sanne[/name] and [name]Nellie[/name])

Good luck!

Thanks for all of the suggestions!

Middle names are family names that aren’t really our style so I won’t include them.

[name]Alice[/name]- love this too! But it’s getting so popular, and I’m not sure about two A names.
[name]Audrey[/name]- love the classical feel (Hepburn!), but I don’t love it. But it got me thinking, what do you think of [name]Sabrina[/name]?
[name]Marguerite[/name] - I think I might like [name]Margaret[/name] better
[name]Amelia[/name] - I don’t like the [name]Emilia[/name] spelling as much. Would you pronounce [name]Emelia[/name] differently?
[name]Genevieve[/name]- adorable! But my hubby’s stepmom is [name]Jennifer[/name]. Too close for us.
[name]Susannah[/name]- cute!
[name]Vivienne[/name] - adorable! [name]Love[/name] [name]Viv[/name]/ [name]Vivie[/name].
[name]Natalie[/name]- i’d love it if I could use [name]Nellie[/name]! Is it a stretch, though? Any other nicknames?
[name]Penelope[/name]- love that I could use [name]Nellie[/name], but not crazy about name.
[name]Eleanor[/name]- a good way to get to [name]Nellie[/name]!

[name]Asher[/name]- hubby loves it, but [name]Asher[/name] [name]Cooper[/name] sounds awful.
[name]Charles[/name]- I love this- my husbands not so sure.
[name]Isaac[/name]- cute! [name]Love[/name] the nickname [name]Ike[/name]!
[name]Sebastian[/name]- love nn [name]Ash[/name]! But maybe a little trendy for us.
[name]Benjamin[/name]- a classic! But very common…
[name]Alexander[/name]- husband loves this, but I don’t like [name]Alex[/name]. [name]Xander[/name]'s nice, but does it sound weird with [name]Jed[/name] and [name]Abby[/name]?
[name]Theodore[/name]- I love this name, but prefer [name]Teddy[/name] over [name]Theo[/name]. But doesn’t work with [name]Jed[/name]. Still on the list though.
[name]Henry[/name]- I don’t like the nn [name]Hank[/name]. Hubby wants nickname [name]Harry[/name].
[name]Ethan[/name]- cute! My husband hates it! Apparently it was the name of a particularly annoying classmate.

Thanks again for the input.

I’m glad you liked some of my suggestions.
I also prefer the spelling [name]Elinor[/name]. I only suggested [name]Eleanor[/name] because that seems to be the more popular spelling. [name]Elinor[/name] looks cleaner to me though. I could see [name]Elinor[/name], [name]Caroline[/name], and [name]Katherine[/name] making a lovely set. For [name]Henry[/name] I would suggest the nn [name]Hank[/name]. As far as [name]Zachary[/name] goes it is my boyfriends name and he uses the spelling [name]Zach[/name] so that is how I prefer it. A lot of people spell it [name]Zack[/name] though, either way it is a great strong name.

A few others that may not have been suggested yet:
[name]August[/name] “[name]Gus[/name]”
[name]Everett[/name] “Rett”
[name]Griffin[/name] “[name]Finn[/name]”
[name]Benjamin[/name] or [name]Bennett[/name] “[name]Ben[/name]”
[name]Elias[/name] “[name]Eli[/name]”
[name]Jonathan[/name] “[name]Jon[/name]” or “[name]Jack[/name]”

[name]Cecilia[/name] or [name]Cecily[/name] “Cece”
[name]Genevieve[/name] “[name]Evie[/name]”
[name]Lillian[/name] “[name]Lily[/name]”
[name]Emilia[/name] “[name]Emmy[/name]” or “[name]Millie[/name]”
[name]Susannah[/name] “[name]Sosie[/name]”
[name]Beatrice[/name] “[name]Bea[/name]”
[name]Willamina[/name] “[name]Willa[/name]”
[name]Camille[/name] “[name]Millie[/name]” or “[name]Cami[/name]”

11

I think [name]Emilia[/name] is pron. the same as [name]Amelia[/name]. At least, I’ve always done so.

[name]LOVE[/name] [name]Sabrina[/name]. It’s so cute. What would you do for a nn?

I totally think [name]Natalie[/name] nn [name]Nellie[/name] works. [name]Don[/name]'t think it’s a stretch in the least. It sounds like you really love both [name]Natalie[/name] and [name]Nellie[/name], too. :smiley:

Wouldn’t [name]Alexander[/name]/[name]Xander[/name] go against your desire not to have an -er name?

[name]Henry[/name] nn [name]Harry[/name] is cute!

And oh my gosh, I didn’t see it above, but I [name]LOVE[/name] [name]Ash[/name] as a nn for [name]Sebastian[/name]! I’ve never heard of that before! But I think you’re right…it wouldn’t really go with [name]Jed[/name] and [name]Abby[/name] so much.

I like [name]Isaac[/name] nn [name]Ike[/name], too, but maybe the ending sound of [name]Isaac[/name] wouldn’t go so well with [name]Cooper[/name]?

12

Right now, I definitely leaning toward [name]Natalie[/name] nn [name]Nellie[/name] for one of the triplets (watch, i’ll have all boys).
I also love the name [name]Elinor[/name], but wouldn’t want to use [name]Ellie[/name] and [name]Nellie[/name]. Any other nicknames? What about [name]Nora[/name] as a nn?

Girls:
[name]Emilia[/name] - love the nn [name]Emmy[/name] for it. I hadn’t thought of it.
[name]Cecilia[/name]- adorable! Obviously not with [name]Emilia[/name] though.
[name]Sabrina[/name] - I don’t know about nicknames. Any suggestions?

Boys:
[name]Alexander[/name]- I don’t know how I missed that! Maybe because of the extra sylable, it wasn’t as obvious as say [name]Asher[/name] [name]Cooper[/name]. But now that you mentioned it, it’s off the list. Thanks for the heads up.
[name]Henry[/name] - My husband is really pushing for [name]Harry[/name] as a nickname, but it’s not any shorter. What about just [name]Harry[/name] as a name?
[name]Isaac[/name]- again, I don’t know how I missed that. But [name]Isaac[/name] [name]Cooper[/name] blends together too much. Thanks again!

After reading through all the other posts i have some suggestions for you!
I [name]LOVE[/name] the name [name]Henry[/name] with [name]Jed[/name] and [name]Abby[/name]. I personally love the nn [name]Hal[/name] for [name]Henry[/name], which is shorter then [name]Harry[/name] (plus [name]Jed[/name], [name]Abby[/name] and [name]Hal[/name] are great!).
I see that you like the nn [name]Nate[/name], however you don’t care for [name]Nathaniel[/name] or [name]Nathan[/name]. I have recently heard of using [name]Nate[/name] as a nn for [name]Ignatius[/name] which could be a cute option! It gives you the possibility of [name]Nate[/name] or [name]Iggy[/name] as nicknames!
I must say how much i love [name]Caroline[/name] for you - great nn possibilites (ie. [name]Carol[/name], Care, [name]Linny[/name] etc)
[name]Natalie[/name] and [name]Sabrina[/name] are great names, however they feel very dated to me. The idea of using [name]Nellie[/name] as a nn for [name]Natalie[/name] definitely modernizes it, but i would personally shy away from using [name]Sabrina[/name]. Especially since it makes me think of [name]Sabrina[/name] the Teenage Witch.

Here are some other ideas that you might find plausible:
[name]Archibald[/name] - [name]Archie[/name]
[name]Calvin[/name] - [name]Cal[/name]
[name]August[/name] - [name]Gus[/name]
[name]Christopher[/name] - [name]Kit[/name] - I actually like the way Chiristopher [name]Cooper[/name] sounds despite -er.
[name]Dominic[/name] - [name]Dom[/name] or [name]Nic[/name]
[name]Harrison[/name] - better way to get the [name]Harry[/name] nn your hubby likes! [name]Harrison[/name] [name]Cooper[/name] sounds amazing!
[name]Griffin[/name] - [name]Griff[/name] or [name]Fin[/name]
[name]Beau[/name]
[name]Wyatt[/name]

[name]Madeline[/name] - [name]Maddie[/name]
[name]Beatrice[/name] - [name]Bea[/name]
[name]Dorothea[/name] - [name]Dot[/name]
[name]Georgia[/name]
[name]Louisa[/name] - [name]Lola[/name]
[name]Matilda[/name] - [name]Millie[/name]
[name]Ruby[/name]
[name]Simone[/name] - [name]Simmy[/name]
[name]Megan[/name] - [name]Meg[/name]
[name]Claire[/name]
[name]Olivia[/name] - seems a natural pairing with [name]Abigail[/name]
[name]Lucy[/name]

let me know what you think!

[name]Natalie[/name] “[name]Nellie[/name]” didnt even cross my mind but I really like it. [name]Natalie[/name] is so precious and goes really well with [name]Abigail[/name]. I think [name]Elinor[/name] “[name]Nora[/name]” would be really nice too. I actually prefer [name]Emilia[/name] over [name]Amelia[/name], it looks prettier to me. If you like [name]Harry[/name], what about [name]Harrison[/name] “[name]Harry[/name]”? If you dont like [name]Harrison[/name] I think [name]Henry[/name] “[name]Harry[/name]” works fine too. Sure its not any shorter but it is a legitimate nn for [name]Henry[/name].

15

We’re making progress! Here are some that we are seriously considering. Let us know what you think.

Girls:
[name]Natalie[/name] - ‘[name]Nellie[/name]’
[name]Elinor[/name] - ‘[name]Nora[/name]’ (not sure about nn)
[name]Caroline[/name] - ‘[name]Linny[/name]’
[name]Emilia[/name] - ‘[name]Emmy[/name]’
[name]Elizabeth[/name] - ‘[name]Libby[/name]’ (too close to [name]Abby[/name]?)
[name]Matilda[/name] - ‘[name]Mattie[/name]’ or ‘[name]Tillie[/name]’
[name]Sabrina[/name] - “suggestions?” (Our only concern is the teenage witch thing. We look at the name as the classic [name]Audrey[/name] Hepburn character. We’re thinking that the teenage witch thing will be over by the time she’s in school. Thoughts?)

Boys:
[name]Zachary[/name] - ‘[name]Zach[/name]’ or ‘[name]Zack[/name]’
[name]Henry[/name] - ‘[name]Harry[/name]’
[name]Harrison[/name] - ‘[name]Harry[/name]’ (we’d use one or the other, obviously. [name]Harrison[/name] [name]Cooper[/name] sounds great, but is that because of [name]Anderson[/name] [name]Cooper[/name]? Are they too similar?)
[name]Oliver[/name] - ‘[name]Ollie[/name]’
[name]Benjamin[/name] - ‘[name]Ben[/name]’

We need more boys names. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I loved the suggestion of [name]Christopher[/name] [name]Cooper[/name]- it does sound great despite the -er. But it’s my [name]BIL[/name]'s name. :frowning:

Thanks,
[name]Lucy[/name]

You’re making great progress with the names!
My thoughts, for what they’re worth:
[name]Natalie[/name] - ‘[name]Nellie[/name]’ - [name]LOVE[/name]! I think it goes very well with [name]Abigail[/name] and the [name]Nellie[/name] nn adds extra modernity to what could be considered a dated name
[name]Elinor[/name] - ‘[name]Nora[/name]’ (not sure about nn) - I like the nn [name]Nora[/name] but then you’d end up with two N’s - [name]Nellie[/name] and [name]Nora[/name]. Plus when calling the girls, it will be hard to tell if you’re saying [name]Nellie[/name] or [name]Elinor[/name].
[name]Caroline[/name] - ‘[name]Linny[/name]’ - like [name]Caroline[/name] but not fond of this nn
[name]Emilia[/name] - ‘[name]Emmy[/name]’ - prefer [name]Emmeline[/name] for the nn [name]Emmy[/name] and I like that the -line ending is different (unless you use [name]Caroline[/name], of course)
[name]Elizabeth[/name] - ‘[name]Libby[/name]’ (too close to [name]Abby[/name]?) - I love the nn [name]Libby[/name]. I know sisters named [name]Abby[/name] and [name]Libby[/name] and I never really had a problem with it. [name]Liza[/name] might be nice - throws some different sounds in with [name]Abby[/name], [name]Tilly[/name], [name]Emmy[/name], etc
[name]Matilda[/name] - ‘[name]Mattie[/name]’ or ‘[name]Tillie[/name]’ - I love [name]Matilda[/name] but I’m not sure I like how it fits with [name]Abigail[/name]. [name]Mattie[/name] will blend with all the Maddies out there but [name]Tillie[/name] is a cute option. On second thought, I really like [name]Matilda[/name] with [name]Abigail[/name].
[name]Sabrina[/name] - “suggestions?” (Our only concern is the teenage witch thing. We look at the name as the classic [name]Audrey[/name] Hepburn character. We’re thinking that the teenage witch thing will be over by the time she’s in school. Thoughts?) No really good nn’s - maybe [name]Bree[/name]. I also like [name]Sabrina[/name] because of the classic Hepburn but couldn’t get my DH past the witchy association. I do not think it will go away because it’s not just the recent [name]Melissa[/name] [name]Joan[/name] [name]Hart[/name] show, it’s also a classic comic book character a la [name]Caspar[/name] the friendly ghost. But you might decide that it doesn’t bother you (I did but couldn’t convince DH).

Boys:
[name]Zachary[/name] - ‘[name]Zach[/name]’ or ‘[name]Zack[/name]’ - [name]LOVE[/name]!
[name]Henry[/name] - ‘[name]Harry[/name]’ - seems odd to use nn [name]Harry[/name] for [name]Henry[/name] when it’s no shorter and doesn’t sound younger (like with some names that just don’t seem to fit a baby - I don’t see [name]Henry[/name] as one of those).
[name]Harrison[/name] - ‘[name]Harry[/name]’ (we’d use one or the other, obviously. [name]Harrison[/name] [name]Cooper[/name] sounds great, but is that because of [name]Anderson[/name] [name]Cooper[/name]? Are they too similar?) really like [name]Harrison[/name] nn [name]Harry[/name]. That might be a great fit with your set. [name]Harrison[/name] [name]Cooper[/name] does roll off the tongue - maybe because we’re used to seeing/hearing [name]Anderson[/name] [name]Cooper[/name] but I didn’t make that connection until you pointed it out.
[name]Oliver[/name] - ‘[name]Ollie[/name]’ - ok
[name]Benjamin[/name] - ‘[name]Ben[/name]’ - great name - classic but underused.

Other boys you might like is [name]Wilson[/name] nn [name]Wil[/name]/Wils, [name]Wesley[/name] nn [name]Wes[/name], [name]Charles[/name] nn [name]Charlie[/name].

My favorites of your choices are [name]Natalie[/name] ([name]Nellie[/name]), [name]Elizabeth[/name] ([name]Liza[/name]), [name]Matilda[/name] ([name]Tillie[/name]) and [name]Benjamin[/name] ([name]Ben[/name]), [name]Zachary[/name] ([name]Zack[/name]) and [name]Harrison[/name] ([name]Harry[/name])

[name]Natalie[/name] as a way to get to [name]Nellie[/name] is ingenious! [name]Nellie[/name] is great. So is [name]Nora[/name], actually, and I don’t even mind them together if the triplets were two girls and a boy (so one girl wouldn’t be left out) - [name]Nellie[/name] and [name]Nora[/name]. If you’re not sure about the nickname [name]Nora[/name], [name]Elinor[/name] could also go to [name]Linny[/name].

I personal would be put off [name]Emilia[/name] by the massive popularity of [name]Emily[/name], [name]Emma[/name] and even [name]Amelia[/name], especially with the nickname [name]Emmy[/name] … However, if that doesn’t bother you, it is still a beautiful name. You might also like [name]Camellia[/name] or [name]Camille[/name]/a, which are similar but not so close to [name]Emma[/name] et cetera.

I don’t think [name]Libby[/name] is totally unusable with [name]Abby[/name], especially if the triplets were all girls as it wouldn’t be so obvious. It’s not ideal, but it’s also not enough of a problem to rule out [name]Libby[/name] if it were your stand out favourite.

I am the right generation to automatically mentally follow [name]Sabrina[/name] with ‘the Teenage Witch’, but the show is long over and I haven’t even seen them showing repeats (at least not here - I’m in [name]Britain[/name]) for years, so by the time your daughter is in school I doubt the connection will still be made. If you are worred, [name]Serena[/name] has a very similar sound and a lovely meaning. There is also [name]Marina[/name].

[name]Zachary[/name] and [name]Henry[/name] are both so handsome! I’d hesitate to use them together because of the double Y endings, unfortunately, but that might not bother you. Also, if you want to get to [name]Harry[/name] then to be honest, I wouldn’t bother going through [name]Henry[/name]. They are really two seperate names now, despite [name]Harry[/name]'s origin as a nickname, like [name]John[/name] and [name]Jack[/name] or [name]Mary[/name] and [name]Molly[/name]. I don’t think [name]Harry[/name] is any easier to say than [name]Henry[/name], either.

I’m not sure about the repeating -er endings of [name]Oliver[/name] and [name]Cooper[/name], especially if you rejected [name]Alexander[/name] on those grounds.

I love [name]Benjamin[/name]! I can’t remember if [name]Theodore[/name] has been suggested, too. So many nickname possibilities with that one - [name]Theo[/name], [name]Ted[/name], [name]Teddy[/name].

My votes for combinations go to :
G/G/G - [name]Josiah[/name], [name]Abigail[/name], [name]Caroline[/name], [name]Matilda[/name] and [name]Elinor[/name]. I love that they all have different endings, but the nicknames are posing a problem, as [name]Nora[/name] would be the only girl without a nickname ending in the -ee sound (out of four girls, which makes it seem obvious to me), and obviously you couldn’t use [name]Linny[/name] if you also had a [name]Caroline[/name] “[name]Linny[/name]”. [name]How[/name] do you feel about [name]Tilda[/name]? [name]Jed[/name], [name]Abby[/name], [name]Linny[/name], [name]Tilda[/name] and [name]Nora[/name].

G/G/B - [name]Josiah[/name], [name]Abigail[/name], [name]Caroline[/name], [name]Matilda[/name] and [name]Benjamin[/name]. Perfection!

B/B/G - [name]Josiah[/name], [name]Abigail[/name], [name]Benjamin[/name], [name]Zachary[/name] and [name]Matilda[/name]. [name]Josiah[/name], [name]Abigail[/name], [name]Benjamin[/name], [name]Zachary[/name] and [name]Caroline[/name]. The second feels slightly more perfect to me, but both are great!

B/B/B - I’m stuck. I don’t want to do [name]Zachary[/name] and [name]Henry[/name] because they both end in Y, and I don’t want to do [name]Benjamin[/name] and [name]Harrison[/name] because they both end in N, and then I’m not sure about [name]Oliver[/name] [name]Cooper[/name]. I think I might be too fussy … For now, I’ll say [name]Josiah[/name], [name]Abigail[/name], [name]Benjamin[/name], [name]Zachary[/name] and [name]Oliver[/name].

Good luck! [name]Auburn[/name]

I think [name]Natalie[/name] nn [name]Nellie[/name] is perfect for you! [name]Elinor[/name] is also a favorite of mine, especially spelled this way. [name]Nora[/name] is fine, but I worry about the pressure to then have 3 “N” nicknames. [name]Caroline[/name] nn [name]Linny[/name] is adorable!! [name]Emilia[/name] nn [name]Emmy[/name], while also very cute, is SO overdone. [name]Love[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name], but yes, [name]Libby[/name] is too close to [name]Abby[/name]. I’m not personally a fan of [name]Matilda[/name], but it’s a fine name. [name]LOVE[/name] [name]Sabrina[/name]. I know a little one named [name]Sabrina[/name] and she’s just the most darling thing. It always makes me think [name]Audrey[/name] Hepburn, not Teenage Witch, and I’m a teenager!

Best Sets:
[name]Natalie[/name], [name]Sabrina[/name] and [name]Caroline[/name]
[name]Natalie[/name], [name]Sabrina[/name] and [name]Elinor[/name]*

I think [name]Henry[/name] and [name]Oliver[/name] complement your other names well. [name]Benjamin[/name] and [name]Zachary[/name] are great, too, if you’re not worried about popularity. [name]Harrison[/name] has that whole ‘last name-first name’ trend, which I don’t go for. It doesn’t seem to fit in with the rest.

Best Sets:
[name]Benjamin[/name], [name]Zachary[/name] and [name]Henry[/name]- Although I’d do [name]Hank[/name] or [name]Hal[/name] for [name]Henry[/name], not [name]Harry[/name].

2 Girls and 1 Boy:
