Using current obsessions
These names have been on my mind, I'm really taken with them.
BBB: Piers Edmund (or Pierce Edmund?), Thierry Norman, Guy Roger
GGG: Germaine Philippa Fox, Gisele Petronille, Mary Alix (double name, pronounced like "Maria Lise")
GGB: Maud Kinborough, Amice Mirabelle "Amicie", Hugh Henry
BBG: Piers William, Guy Wallace, Alix Eleanor

I love Piers / Pierce Edmund! I used to have the combo Edmund Pierce (Pierce is a family surname for me). =) All of your combos/sets are so gorgeous. I especially love Germaine Philippa Fox (this is so incredible), Mary Alix, Maud Kinborough, Amice Mirabelle, Hugh Henry, Guy Wallace and Alix Eleanor.
My favorite set is the third.

Ahaha
I should actually give this some serious thought... :/
B/B/B
Patrick Ieuan (would call him Pat sometimes)
James "Jem / Jamie" ...Frederick, if I could talk myself into it, otherwise maybe Clair
Llewelyn Francis (maybe "Llelo," maybe "Lyn" or Lewin... Llew... I dunno)
G/G/G
Margaret Evelyn "Gretchen"
Annemarie Frances "Nan"
Virginia Claire "Ginny"
B/B/G
Patrick Ieuan
Llewelyn Francis
Margaret Evelyn
G/G/B
Margaret Evelyn
Annemarie Frances
Patrick Ieuan
(all mns honoring)
Yes, Llewelyn is back on the really would use list. But I'm trying to decide if I'd pronounce it in Welsh or English. Obviously I'd not expect everyone else to pronounce it in Welsh.

On pronouncing Llewelyn, seeing that you live in the States (likewise here), I think it'd be wise to just use the English pronunciation. I don't know how many Americans are familiar with Welsh, but I can't see it being too many. That doesn't mean you can't teach him the Welsh pronunciation of his name, or use it at home, etc. When I started using my MN Fiammetta, I accepted the fact that it would be fee-ah-MET-tah (or in our lovely New England accent, Fee-yuh-medduh *cringe*) if people even attempted it. However, that spawned the NN Fia - I think Llew would be just as snappy and intuitive for Llewelyn.
1
Well yeah
I would definitely introduce him to others just saying the Ll as an L. But at home I might pronounce it correctly for fun.
I'm just not sure what my favorite nn is. I went to high school with a Llewellyn who went by Lynn (spelled it that way for some reason). I think Llelo is really cute for a little boy though. People will call your kid whatever you introduce them as, so I'm not concerned with it not being that intuitive.
How is Fiametta said if it's not fee-a-MET-a? Fia is super cute though. :)

I'm kind of obsessed with intuitive nicknames. It bothers me when I can't figure out how the NN comes from the full name. Silly, I know.
It's more like fyah-MEH-tah (3 instead of 4 syllables):
http://www.namepedia.org/en/firstname/Fiammetta/ (click on the "Listen to this name" button)
I love how on the name entries on that site there is a "Buy this name" link. "HAHA, I'm buying Fiammetta so nobody else can use it!!!11" How much money do you need to buy a name? I'm surprised I haven't heard of celebrities doing it. They sure can afford it, and they'd get all kinds of lawsuits out of it... :-D

Yeah, this month for sure. The odds are of course low, but since it's possible I'm feeling kind of anxious about it!

Eeee! Got my fingers and toes crossed for you!
(I mean, you want that, right? Just making sure I'm crossing my fingers for the right thing)

Well, we went ahead because I'm of the opinion at this point that God is going to give us whatever children we're meant to have, and if that's triplets then yikes. But I'd prefer your fingers were crossed for 1-2. :)

Today they'd probably be:
G/G/G:
Penelope Rose Harriet "Nella"
Elizabeth Monica Maeve "Bess"
Edith Eleanor Clara "Edie"
B/B/B:
Finn Peter Augustus
Oliver Miles Columba
Jackson William Somerled
My combos are all boring me at the moment and my boy's especially feel uninspired. I'm actually really digging a lot of other boy's names at the moment but they are all so different in styles that they'd sound terrible as triplets. Oh well... #inaseriousnamefunk

Victoria, Veronica and Virginia (because that's just adorable)
Thomas Laurence, Evan Paul and Lukas Victor (my usual go-to boy's names)
Helena May, Rowena Ivy and Fabian Remus
Matthias Leif, Mercutio Rune and Saskia Katherine
but maybe I'd switch out one of the boy's names for Arturo Indigo, or one of the girl's names for Nephele Beatrix...

THanks. I have fun playing with those... I think the last set of 3 would be adorable on a part African or part African American set of little ones.

Iris Amparo, Flora Itxasne & Edmund Leopold (or maybe Edmund Unai)
Edmund Leopold (or maybe Edmund Unai), Marius András & Iris Amparo (...or maybe Iris Itxasne. I've fallen so hard for Itxasne lately)
My answer is very "Whos' the father?"-dependant, though.

How would you pronounce Itxasne?

Thanks!
And Itxasne is pronounced "ee-CHASS-neh", it's the Basque form of "Marina", and a variant is Itsasne. I know an Itsasne and heard someone call her "Txasne" (CHASS-neh) one day, so when I got home I looked to see if Itxasne is a name, and it is. I find Itxasne a little easier to say than Itsasne.

It may be boring, but I'd just stick with my favorites. I think they work well for siblings, so they'll work for triplets too.

I'm tired of my old standbys, so I'm going to make some outlandish combos, here:
B/B/B: Xavier Callahan, Archibald Anson, Rutherford Willoughby
G/G/G: Fatima Genevieve, Andromeda Circe, Ulyssa Antonia
G/G/B: Edwina Roberta, Mabel Antigone, Holden Boris
B/B/G: Ivan Rupert, Donovan Marco, Ruth Valentine

I started to list all of the ones that I like, but I pretty much listed all of them. =)

Ruth Valentine is so lovely!

Yeah, Willoughby is growing on me. I used to think it was stupid, but now I really like it.

If I'm not fettered by the children's surname or their father's input I'd say:
B/B/B: Desmond Charles, Cormac Timothy and Malachy Thomas
G/G/G: Mairead Cathleen, Niamh Annmarie, and Aoife (?)
G/G/B: Mairead Cathleen, Niamh Annmarie, Desmond Thomas (Thomas honors both sides and if I only get one boy Thomas has to be in there)
B/B/G: Desmond Thomas (Thomas is my father as well as dh's mn and dh's brother and dh's father's mn), Cormac Arthur (if I don't get three boys I can't use dh's three brothers for mns as above. Usuing Arthur is more diplomatic) and Niamh Annmarie
Mns are honoring. I would say Margaret as the mn for Aoife, but I've already got a Mairead. So if anyone has any ideas for a nice mn for Aoife I'd be glad to hear it. She might get the only non-family mn but oh, well.

Bear, you have fabulous taste as always! Your sets are gorgeous, but I have to say, I am in love with your boy sibset. They're so distinguished.
I wish I had some Aoife combos made up, but I've never found Aoife easy to pair. Aoife Magdalene / Madailein, Aoife Rachel / Raicheal, Aoife Roisin, Aoife Francisca?

Ooh, Frances is dear to my heart so Aoife Francisca could be in the imaginary running.
Thanks for the compliment. :-) But my distinguished imaginary boys are something of a disappointment to my dh and myself. We had such dreams for them, but all they want to do is idle time away on the internet. Where do they get that from . . . ?

Aoife Rosalind and Aoife Morwen are fantastic. :-D
I wish I had a relative named Rosalind so I could justify it more. Morwen is at least Celtic so it has a better chance of making the imaginary cut.
I had thought of Aoife Caroline but not Aoife Coraline. Interesting. I'll chew on it for a while.

No, we're not a rosey bunch I'm afraid. It's funny -- a lot of the same names are used in dh's and my immediate families. A lot of my mns kills two (sometimes three) birds with one stone. But not one Rose, dammit. But thanks for the effort. :-)
