I like all those names by themselves, but together as a set of triplets they're way too cutesy. I think there's a Christmas story or movie called "Holly and Ivy" too.

Distant memory of a traditional song:
The holly and the ivy
When they are both full grown
Of all the trees that are in the wood
The holly bears the crown.
The rising of the sun
and the running of the deer,
the playing of the merry organ,
sweet singing in the choir. (Refrain)
The holly bears a blossom,
white as the lily flower,
and Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ,
to be our sweet Saviour.
Refrain
The holly bears a berry,
as red as any blood,
and Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ
to do poor sinners good.
Refrain
It goes on, but you get the idea!
