[Opinions] Re: Triplet names

I don't think triplets should all have names beginning with the same letter. It just looks silly to me and as though the parents have deliberately chosen those names, not because they like them, but because they begin with the same letter. Although these names aren't my style, I think the E, F, G thing is ok (you know Evangeline, Francesca and Gabriella. [I like Evangeline but dislike the other two]) and I don't think it looks totally intentional. I think that your friend should just pick out names that she really likes.

My favourite sibset from the ones you've chosen are Niamh, Molly and Joanna. I think its cute to have subtle themes in sibsets eg. giving twin girls flower-themed middle names eg. Violet and Heather, Lily and Rose or you could use colour-themed names instead eg. Siena and Xanthe or whatever. If I had to choose names for triplets right now it would be:

Zahra Soleil
Eve Zephyra
Naomi Rain

I've chosen three names I love as first names and three middle names I also love (all weather-related in some way to show what I mean about cute themes).

I like what you said. my friend has triplets and she named them A, B, and C you know how they label the badies while there still in her baby A's name is Avery. Baby B's name is Blake, and baby C is nameed Cassy. I like it alot.

I work in a NICU so I've seen several sets of triplets. Quite a few have had names that start with the same initial, but most do not. I think I've only seen an A,B,C named set once, but I'd rather see that than all their names starting with the same letter, personally. And for us nurses, when we are referring to them constantly as Baby A, B, or C, it would help us remember their names. LOL. Overall, though, and since they'll have the names for the rest of their lives, I'd rather see them have non-cutesy/matchy names. :)
