Help[Opinions] If you had to have triplets with Shakespeare middle names?
https://www.behindthename.com/names/tag/shakespearean_characters
(Try to avoid the "normal" ones! You can use your own judgement on things like Viola and Miranda, but don't use Jessica, Alexander, and Charles. Try to pick 'obviously Shakespearean' names that you might hesitate to use as first names because of how obvious they are.)
Mine: Alden Oberon / Leia Hippolyta / Corvus Lysander

Hollis Oberon, Isaac Horatio, Astrid Hippolyta
I don't even usually like Hollis as masculine, but I like how it works with the others.
It was hard! There's so many good ones.
Ariel, Benvolio, Pharamond ...Isaac Ariel, Francis Pharamond, Simon Benvolio
Balthasar, Horatio, Cymbeline ...Noah Balthasar, Philip Horatio
Toby, Laurence, Dion ...Gwendolen Toby, Dmitri Laurence
Valentine, Prospero, Hippolyta ...Cerys Hippolyta
Junius, Rosalind, Octavia ...Tirzah Octavia, Helga Rosalind, Clay Junius - I think that's my 2nd fav set
Oberon, Miranda, Angelica ...Maud Miranda, Audra Angelica, Meshach Oberon

Eleanor Portia, Gwendolyn Titania, Katerina Beatrice
Eleanor Portia, Gwendolyn Titania, Katerina Beatrice
Katerina Beatrice is rather normal, but both first and last names are Shakespearean, which makes up for it. Katherina Hero might work if I have to choose a more outlandish option.

Really struggled not to just use all the Roman names! I was kind of tempted to go for Antony because I think Mark Antony is a really interesting historical figure (and, let's be honest, kind of funny as hell at times), but I just don't like the impression it gives in English.

Love these! Nerissa is really lovely paired with Anna: I love Anna but sometimes it can be a bit dull, but Anna Nerissa definetely shines.

That’s one of the nicest things anyone has ever said to me on this forum. Thank you!

Nerissa is nice. Mary Ophelia seems like it could be a good double name (in a place where long double names are normal).

Florence Cordelia / Stella Imogen / Henry Othello.

Florence Cordelia is elegant. Henry Othello is very good (and I don't even like Henry).
