Our top 3! (Hopefully)

We are having triplets (don’t know the genders yet!)!
Our new top 3 for girls are:

[name]Bethany[/name] [name]Azalea[/name]
[name]Calais[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name] ([name]Calais[/name] is pronounced: [name]Kal[/name]-[name]LAY[/name])
[name]Catherine[/name] [name]Lorelei[/name]

(We will not use nicknames for any of the names)

We are really hoping now that we can stick to these as our top 3 girls names (we find girls names so much harder to commit to)!

What do you think of our Top 3 Girls names??? :slight_smile:

[name]How[/name] hard are triplets to name!!!
I think your top choices, at the moment, are all beautiful! I do, however, think that [name]Calais[/name] is very unusual compared to [name]Catherine[/name] and [name]Bethany[/name]. If you don’t care for the whole matching sibset thing then that’s perfectly fine :slight_smile:
I adore their middle names and I [name]LOVE[/name] the fact that you have given [name]Bethany[/name] and [name]Catherine[/name] more unusual mn’s and [name]Calais[/name] a very common middle name, [name]Elizabeth[/name].
I wish you all the best with your triplets, if I may ask, when are you due?
GOOD [name]LUCK[/name], hopefully you have a much smoother naming journey than I am on!!
Gracen xx

@peakaboo- Thank you for your feedback!! :slight_smile: I’m technically due on [name]November[/name] 7th but since I will be having a C-section they will be born earlier than that- so…in early/mid [name]October[/name] they should be born :slight_smile:

I hope you all the best with your triplets as well!! :slight_smile: I hope you find the perfect names!

Wow triplets!
I agree all of them sound great, but [name]Calais[/name] is the odd one out and does have prn issues.
If you like to go with a more unusual fn combined with [name]Elizabeth[/name] I would use a different initial.
A - [name]Ariadne[/name] - [name]Amandine[/name]
D - [name]Daphne[/name] - [name]Dahlia[/name]
F - [name]Fiona[/name]
G - [name]Gwendolyn[/name] - [name]Gilliane[/name]
I - [name]Irene[/name]
J - [name]Juniper[/name]
L - [name]Lucienne[/name] / [name]Lavender[/name]
M - [name]Milena[/name] / [name]Matilda[/name]
N - [name]Nadia[/name]
O - [name]Odilia[/name] / [name]Ophelia[/name]
P - [name]Poppy[/name]
R - [name]Rosalind[/name]
S - [name]Saskia[/name]
T - [name]Thirza[/name] - [name]Thalia[/name]
V- [name]Vivienne[/name]

for example

Hmm, I like all the names, but I’m not keen on the fact that [name]Catherine[/name] and [name]Calais[/name] have a similar sound, leaving [name]Bethany[/name] the odd one out. I’m also not keen on the fact that [name]Calais[/name] is far more unusual than [name]Bethany[/name] and [name]Catherine[/name], as they don’t really feel like siblings to me, and finally I’m not keen on the fact that [name]Bethany[/name] is essentially a form of [name]Elizabeth[/name] and you’re using both.

I’d do:

[name]Catherine[/name] [name]Lorelei[/name] - perfect
[name]Elizabeth[/name] [name]Calais[/name] - this is stunning! And you could call her [name]Bethany[/name] for short if you liked?
[name]Anna[/name] [name]Azalea[/name] or [name]Grace[/name] [name]Azalea[/name] - both are lovely, and I love “[name]Anna[/name], [name]Catherine[/name] and [name]Elizabeth[/name]” or “[name]Catherine[/name], [name]Elizabeth[/name] and [name]Grace[/name]”

Or I’d reverse it if you prefer more unsual first names and do:

[name]Calais[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name] - again, beautiful
[name]Lorelei[/name] [name]Catherine[/name] - equally lovely
[name]Azalea[/name] [name]Margaret[/name] - I love that all 3 would have classic, regal first names, though you could substitute [name]Margaret[/name] for [name]Louise[/name], [name]Grace[/name], [name]Jane[/name], [name]Sophie[/name], [name]Rose[/name].

Good luck and congrats on triplets!

I like all three, even if [name]Catherine[/name] is nmsaa. My favorite is [name]Calais[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name].

Thanks guys :slight_smile:

The only thing though is I’d really like to keep [name]Bethany[/name] [name]Azalea[/name]…

Maybe we could use [name]Calais[/name] as a middle name instead and use a different first name instead of using [name]Elizabeth[/name]?? We are quite set on using [name]Calais[/name] if we end up having 3 girls :slight_smile: [name]Do[/name] you have any suggestions for first names that would go with [name]Bethany[/name] and [name]Catherine[/name] and would also match with the middle name [name]Calais[/name]???

[name]How[/name] do you pronounce [name]Calais[/name]?

I would just go with [name]Calais[/name] as the first name if you like it that much. [name]How[/name] about [name]Azalea[/name] [name]Calais[/name]?

Ok, how about, [name]Bethany[/name] [name]Azalea[/name], [name]Catherine[/name] [name]Lorelei[/name] and:

[name]Margot[/name] [name]Calais[/name]
[name]Louisa[/name] [name]Calais[/name]
[name]Madeleine[/name] [name]Calais[/name]
[name]Rosaline[/name] [name]Calais[/name]
[name]Susannah[/name] [name]Calais[/name]

Another idea is to go with an A name. It may be too cutesy but the triplets initials would then be A, B, C! [name]How[/name] about:

[name]Amelia[/name] [name]Calais[/name]
[name]Adeline[/name] [name]Calais[/name]
[name]Arabella[/name] [name]Calais[/name]
[name]Amabel[/name] [name]Calais[/name]
[name]Adriana[/name] [name]Calais[/name]
[name]Alana[/name] [name]Calais[/name]
[name]Alice[/name] [name]Calais[/name]
[name]Amy[/name] [name]Calais[/name]
[name]Amelie[/name] [name]Calais[/name]
[name]Ariella[/name] [name]Calais[/name]
[name]Aurora[/name] [name]Calais[/name]
[name]Arielle[/name] [name]Calais[/name]

[name]Hope[/name] that helps! Good luck :slight_smile:

[name]Bethany[/name] and [name]Catherine[/name] are both high on my own list, so maybe you’ll like some of my other names?

[name]Natalie[/name] [name]Calais[/name]
[name]Aria[/name] [name]Calais[/name] (course this woukd make thier first initials ABC)
[name]Gwendolen[/name] [name]Calais[/name]
[name]June[/name] [name]Calais[/name]
[name]Dawn[/name] [name]Calais[/name] (they would be BCD)
[name]Guinevere[/name] [name]Calais[/name]

I second all of these observations and insights.

[name]Love[/name] them! [name]Bethany[/name] is so sweet and [name]Azalea[/name] gives her some spunk. I also like [name]Azalea[/name] [name]Bethany[/name], if that interests you. I like the classic [name]Elizabeth[/name] paired with [name]Calais[/name]–I think they balance each other out more. I feel like [name]Calais[/name] is a bit mismatched with the more traditional [name]Bethany[/name] and [name]Catherine[/name], though–I think [name]Azalea[/name], [name]Calais[/name], and [name]Lorelei[/name] or [name]Bethany[/name], [name]Elizabeth[/name], and [name]Catherine[/name] would work better together, but if you love them as they are, that’s great. I am a huge sucker for [name]Catherine[/name] as a FN with a more striking MN, and I think [name]Catherine[/name] [name]Lorelei[/name] works perfectly! I also love them without nns, too–very lovely!

Congrats on your triplets, and good luck!

Thank you all for your suggestions!! :slight_smile:

I like:

[name]Rosaline[/name] [name]Calais[/name]
[name]Arabella[/name] [name]Calais[/name] (Fav)
[name]Alice[/name] [name]Calais[/name]

I’ll run them by hubby but I’m not sure he will like [name]Alice[/name] very much (I remember suggesting this to him even before I was pregnant and he didn’t really like it)

I would appreciate any other comments or suggestions if you have them! :slight_smile: Thanks again!
