Help[Opinions] "Famous" local triplet BA
So, last night was Canada's federal election, and a local couple experienced 15 minutes of fame when they were allowed to skip to the front of the polling line so they could vote before immediately going to the hospital for a C-section birth of triplets. (news link: removed)
It turns out I know someone who knows them, so I got the scoop on their names!
Identical triplet girls:
Martha Erna
Sadie Helen
Eleanor Mae
& brother Oswald!
Apparently all the first names are related to the Beatles and all the middles are honouring grandmothers.
WDYT???

I'd be pissed if I were the one named after Sexy Sadie! Especially since that song is meant to scold the Maharishi. Overall not a great namesake. Eleanor is also way depressing in that sense. Yeesh. I'm surprised they didn't use Lucy.
Not that anyone asked, but my Beatles triplets would be Julia, Prudence, and Margaret "Rita".

Love them! So 'grandma' cute..

They're not bad. I genuinely like Eleanor Mae and I like Martha and Eleanor together. With them being formal names, I'd prefer Sarah "Sadie" to go along with them, but it's all good since they are part of a theme.
Oswald is more obscure and really stands apart from the girls' names. Can't say I love it, though.

Oh dear, I didn't think about getting anyone in trouble.... Maybe I'll edit the post a bit

I like Eleanor. Helen's nms but okay.
Erna (actually Ernst and Ernestine, but close enough) and Mae are also family names for me, so I guess I can see that.
I don't care for Martha or Sadie.
If I was picking names for three girls based on Beatles songs, I'd go with:
Lucy, Julia, and Prudence, or maybe Sunshine
Lucy Erna / Sunshine Erna
Julia Helen / Sunshine Helen
Prudence Mae / Sunshine Mae

I rather like Blackbird Mae myself! ;)

That really helps about the grandmas. :) How sad to lose all three in one summer though.
Somehow I want Oswald to be the crazy youngest child. But I suppose he "will do" as the oldest.

Erna! I "discovered" this name the other day and immediately fell in love. How serendipitous!

I like the first names together and I like the subtle theme but Martha Erna is a terrible combo.

The whole bunch sounds like it was culled from the nursing home register.
Funny about the Beatles obsession: "Martha My Dear" is about a sheepdog, and the Sadie song is "Sexy Sadie."

And then there's Eleanor.
I like it by itself, but not when it's intentionally connected to the song.
Eleanor Rigby, died in the church
And was buried along with her name
Nobody came...
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?
