[Opinions] Your opinion of names for triplets?
I'm having triplets soon and these are some names we like, also, what do you think of matching names? Like, The same first letter or names that rhyme? I don't think I really like the idea but some of my friends think it would be cute. Two of the babies are going to be girls, but we don't know about the third, so we picked out boys names too. Anyway here they are, what do you think?
Tabitha, Margot (or Margo), Lenora, Fiona, Gracie, Anne, Anya, Monet, Calista or Gwendolyn, and for a boy John, David, Marco, Edgar, Jude, Thomas or Colton. The middle name for all the girls is going to be Lee, for boys middle names we're not sure. Can you guys tell me which ones you like?

Unfortunately, I got logged out and wasn't able to edit my message after posting it. Gwendolyn, Lenora, and David Thomas should be Gwendolyn Lee, Lenora Anne, and David Thomas.

Im a triplet! Your very lucky! No to rhyming names, or names with the same letter, as if the children are identical and to be honest even if they are not, people will get them confused.I like:Tabitha Lee
Margot Lee
Gracie LeeTabitha Lee
Gracie Lee
Thomas Lee

Aww :-(Why must all the girls have the same mn? Especially with such nice fn's.Colton sticks out like a sore thumb among the other boys' names listed. Come to think of it, Monet does the same among the girls.I would pair them like this:
Tabitha and Calista
Lenora and Fiona
Anne and Grace (not Gracie so much)
Margot and Gwendolyn
Anya and MonetOr in threes like this:
Tabitha, Calista and Lenora
Lenora, Fiona and Anya
Margot, Gwendolyn and FionaTabitha, Calista and Thomas
Lenora, Fiona and David
Anne, Grace and John
Margot, Gwendolyn and Edgar
Anya, Monet and JudeI'm in love with Marco but not sure where he fits in. I would not make a sibset of Margo/t and Marco. Not not not.

There's no reason they should be matchy. Don't listen to people who are looking for amusement that will last about 30 seconds when the names will last you children their whole lives. It'd be nice if the names go nicely together, but having them sound alike is tacky and you should simply use names you love in my opinion.You have some good names on your list!I like:Lenora (nn Nora would be fantastic!)
Margot/Margo
Grace nn Gracie (I urge you to use Grace as a full name and call her Gracie. It's more professional and ages better.)
Anne (beautiful, but I dislike the nn Annie)
Anya
CalistaDavid (nn Davy)
Jude
Thomas (love the nn Tom! I think it's an incredibly handsome and versitile name)I wouldn't use the same middle names for the girls. Just choose another name you like for the other(s) that compliments it or has meaning to you. I know it would bother me A LOT if I had the same middle name as my sibling because I have a filler middle name and can't stand the fact that I share it with so many other people. Anything goes in the middle name slot, so make your daughters feel like they're special imo, especially when they're a triplet. Also maybe consider using Lee for a boy's mn too. I'd choose the names, then decide which one goes best with the mn Lee.

You have some great names on your list. I personally would stay away from any cutesy themes. I think these would be great combos:GGG: Margot, Lenora, and Anne.
GGB: Margot, Lenora, and Jude. Beautiful!

Coming from a twin, do not give them matching names. You can give them somewhat theme names that won't be immediately picked up and annoying to have people point out every time you meet someone new. Rhyming is a no-no for me though. I like Fiona, Anna, Anya, and Calista. For boys I like David, Jude and Thomas. Actually I adore Jude, if it's a boy I strongly urge you to use Jude.

Give your babies individual names, it would be cute to have matching names when they were younger, but as teenagers, they'd hate it. I think Gracie, Fiona and Gwendolyn go really well together, if the third baby is a boy i like Jude, Thomas or David.My favorite combinations would be:
Gracie, Fiona and Gwendolyn for all girls, or Gracie, Gwendolyn and Jude if the third baby is a boy.Good luck! x

I don't mind matching if it's the last letter, personally, or if someone really liked the names in the first place. Giving up a name you like, just so you can make everything match is a bit silly, though.Anyways, I like: Grace (Gracie), Anya, and Tabitha. I like Lenora, but Lenora Lee sounds a bit odd. I really like David for a boy. (:

I definitely don't think they should rhyme. Thats kind of cheesy to me and will be annoying and confusing to them when they are older. I would give them there own individual names (including middle names). They will share so much, I think they deserve at least there own names. I really like Jude and Fiona from your list! I would suggest using family names or at least names with significance for middle names.
