Re: Opinion on names for triplet girls.
Sadie, Jacklyn, and Halle are fine. I like the idea of Biblical or otherwise meaningful middle names, but I would go with my favorite Biblical characters and forget about the rhyme. Alliteration can be hit or miss, and combined with the rhyming middle names, the sibling set comes across as cheesy.How about Hadassah (Esther's Hebrew name) in place of Hosanna, which is an expression of praise rather than a character? Other characters you might like Deborah, Lydia, Yael, Elisabeth, Mary / Maria, Priscilla, Phoebe.

I was set on Joanna because she is one of my favorite women in the bible. And I love the meaning of Hosanna. My husband came up with the idea of making them rhyme. He chose Susanna because she is another great woman in the Bible.
Yes, Joanna and Susanna were good women, but that doesn't make the rhyme idea less cringy. I would suggest saying the names outloud multiple times, and thinking of triplets as three individual people going through their teenage years and adulthood.
