A friend of mine just found out she was having Triplets! (they had 3 prior miscarriages, one a set of twins, so while overwhelming, they are SOOOO excited!) but they are choosing not to find out the genders of the babies. It got me thinking: What would I name triplets if I had them? That’s a lot of names to decide on! Here’s my combos:
3 Girls: [name_f]Cecily[/name_f], [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] and [name_f]Rosamund[/name_f] (if I’m feeling positively medieval)
3 Girls: Esmé, [name_f]Liv[/name_f] and [name_u]Romy[/name_u] (if I’m in a more casual frame of mind)
3 Girls: [name_u]Darcy[/name_u], [name_u]Hollis[/name_u] and [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] (if I feel my tomboyish side emerging)
3 Girls: [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f], [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] and [name_f]Marguerite[/name_f] (just because they’re so [name_m]French[/name_m] and chic)
3 Boys: [name_u]Laurence[/name_u], [name_m]Victor[/name_m] and [name_m]Felix[/name_m] (if I’m feeling saintly :))
3 Boys: [name_m]Jack[/name_m], [name_u]Charlie[/name_u] and [name_m]Will[/name_m] (if I’m in a down-to-earth, friendly mood)
3 Boys: [name_m]Duncan[/name_m], [name_u]Ellis[/name_u] and [name_m]Fraser[/name_m] (if I like surnames at the moment)
3 Boys: [name_m]Cornelius[/name_m], [name_m]Oscar[/name_m] and [name_m]Humphrey[/name_m] (if I’m feeling playful)
3 Boys: [name_m]Harvey[/name_m], [name_m]Leo[/name_m] and [name_m]Silas[/name_m] (just because they’re great together!)
2 Girls and 1 Boy: [name_f]Angelica[/name_f], [name_f]Celeste[/name_f] and [name_m]Raphael[/name_m] (if I feeling “angelic”)
2 Boys and 1 Girl: [name_m]Felix[/name_m], [name_m]Hugo[/name_m] and [name_f]Aurelia[/name_f] (just because I like the names)
Hard! I’ll do this not including my current babies name.

G/G/G: [name_f]Helen[/name_f], [name_f]Edith[/name_f], and [name_f]Cora[/name_f]
I decided to challenge myself and not just use my top names for each set.
Ohh, how exciting! I would actually love to have triplets I think my “ideal” would be one boy and two girls! (Probably because as one of twin girls, I have loved having such a close sisterly connection). My sets would be:
3 girls: [name_f]Helena[/name_f] [name_f]Gretel[/name_f] [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] ("[name_f]Nell[/name_f]"); [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] [name_u]Rae[/name_u] ("[name_f]Bea[/name_f]/[name_f]Trixie[/name_f]") and [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] [name_f]Hermione[/name_f] [name_u]Quinn[/name_u] ("[name_f]Flossie[/name_f]")
2 girls; 1 boy: [name_f]Helena[/name_f] [name_f]Gretel[/name_f] [name_u]Quinn[/name_u]; [name_f]Philippa[/name_f] [name_f]Hermione[/name_f] [name_f]Catherine[/name_f]; and [name_m]Edmund[/name_m] [name_u]Carlisle[/name_u] [name_m]Caspian[/name_m] ("[name_m]Ted[/name_m]")
1 girl; 2 boys: [name_f]Helena[/name_f] [name_f]Gretel[/name_f] [name_f]Hermione[/name_f]; [name_m]Edmund[/name_m] [name_u]Carlisle[/name_u] [name_m]Caspian[/name_m]; and [name_m]Hugo[/name_m] [name_m]Frederick[/name_m] [name_u]Cameron[/name_u]
3 boys: [name_m]Edmund[/name_m] [name_u]Carlisle[/name_u] [name_m]Caspian[/name_m]; [name_m]Hugo[/name_m] [name_m]Frederick[/name_m] [name_m]Peter[/name_m]; and [name_m]Felix[/name_m] [name_u]Cameron[/name_u] [name_m]David[/name_m]
2 girls and a boy: [name_f]Soleil[/name_f] [name_u]Monroe[/name_u], [name_f]Coralie[/name_f] “[name_f]Coco[/name_f]” [name_f]Christine[/name_f], [name_u]Emerson[/name_u] [name_m]Edward[/name_m]
2 boys and a girl: [name_u]Emerson[/name_u] [name_m]Edward[/name_m], [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] [name_m]Michael[/name_m], [name_f]Coralie[/name_f] “[name_f]Coco[/name_f]” [name_f]Christine[/name_f]
Ooooh, triplets are a total guilty pleasure dream for onomastics nerds.
At the moment, my boys would be [name_m]Earnest[/name_m] [name_u]Blake[/name_u], [name_m]Grant[/name_m] [name_u]Elliott[/name_u], and [name_m]Lowell[/name_m] [name_m]Barnett[/name_m], while girls would be [name_f]Ianthe[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f], [name_f]Clara[/name_f] [name_f]Severine[/name_f], and [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] [name_f]Acacia[/name_f].
