They were in todays newspaper as they are now 2 years old.The triplets are Rubi-Rose

Not a huge fan of those. Rubi-Rose is probably the best of the three but I don't like the spelling or that, as was mentioned below, it's a lipstick shade. Payton and Porscha are just nms.If I had triplets and I was going for hyphens I would just lean all the way in and make them all Marys, let's be real, this kind of an opportunity shouldn't be missed (Mary-Ann, Mary-Beth, and Mary-Jane) but realistically I know I'd probably encounter opposition so sensibly I'd settle for:Betty-May
Emmie-Lou
Mollie-Ann

Why not go for Mary x3. Around 50 years ago my dad had a friend who was dating a girl known as MC. Her name was Mary Catherine and she was one of five sisters who were all called Mary something. I believe it was Ann, Beth, Sue, Jane and Catherine.

Ohhhh I love that! Well, if the other parent could be convinced, I'd absolutely love to go for it! I love that for the five Marys, the stars aligned perfectly and their parents were both willing to do this.

I actually like these names, if they were tweaked a bit.Ruby May

Portia JaneThere we go!

The 2 part of the hyphen go well together. I don't like hyphenated names and 2 with P and then poor Ruby, should have separate initials. I like Ruby, Portia is ok, not sure with Ruby though

I hate that they are all hyphenated and that two start with the same letter, but the third doesn't. Also, Payton just does not seem to fit with the others. I don't like Porscha at all. Ruby Rose and Payton Jane would be okay combos.Mine, if they were all girls:Genevieve Marie
Alexandria Elaine
Rosemary Jane

They seem really stream-of-consciousness. I wonder if they actually are or if they were carefully contemplated or based on something cohesive.Here are my stream-of-consciousness triplets
Dorothy-Rainbow
Yvette-Venusia
Vera-Catrinel

Not really my cup of tea. I do like jane, Mae, rose, and Ruby (that spelling) individually. Peyton is just "bleh" to me

I do like Rose and Ruby-Rose would be quite sweet — I’m not sure how I feel about this spelling. Payton-Jane is nms and I really prefer Portia to Porscha :)Today, I’d name triplets Guinevere Hespera Fawn, Iseult Marion Glory, & Ferelith Astoria Sea!

Yikes! If they grow up to have better taste than their parents, they could comfortably go by Rose, Jane and Mae. I don't like jewel names, but I dislike kre8iv spelling even more. And the visual image - a dark-red rose presumably - should be lovely but isn't.
I don't like Payton or Peyton in any place and for any purpose. The matching AY sounds should be a unifying factor but just sound silly, like a skipping rhyme. And Porscha-Mae! Whey not either Portia or Porsche? Depending on whether one prefers fictional lawyers or pricey cars, either would do at a pinch, but not both. And Mae, to my eyes, is just another spelling error.Overall, it's an opportunity wasted. What would I do? Today, I'm feeling Katharine, Lucy and Marianne.

I like Ruby (not Rubi) and I love Rose, but not together.Jane is okay, I only prefer it for a middle name though.I don’t like Payton, Porscha or Mae

If I had girl triplets:Lana RoseRose” (she’d go by her middle name)
Eloise Aura

I like Ruby and Rose (not together) and poor Rubi will be explaining how to spell her name forever.Payton is ugly.Porscha is a terrible spelling of Portia.
My triplet girls today would be:
Rosa Dawn
Francesca Naomi
Gloria Sophia

I love Rose, Jane and Mae but don't like Rubi, Payton and Porscha. I would name my triplets Lucille, Clementine and Juniper today.

I don’t like any of the triplets names.If I was naming triplets today they would be Imogen Violet
Willa Hermione

I think they are very twee British in a not good way.Ruby Jane, Payton Rose, Portia Mae would have been tolerable. Rubi-Rose is a cheap lipstick shade.If I had triplet girls:Sylvie Josefina
Imogen Lusine

The names are moderately dreadful. Ruby or Portia would be okay without hyphenating, but there is nothing that will make Payton-Jane a decent option.

And they were born on Valentine's Day. The names sound tacky, I think.

I know someone whose divorce was finalised on Valentine's Day! Best one ever, she says.

Aka the Hyphen Kids.
I like Ruby, but Ruby Rose sounds like a nail polish or lipstick. I really don't like Payton, it's bland and tired. Porsha looks dated somehow, and it looks dumb to be misspelled that way.
None of the names sound like sisters; Porsha really sticks out.If I had triplet girls:Brianna KathleenSavannah Dawn
Alyssa Noelle.If Brianna and Savannah sounding so similar bothered me, which they might, I'd replace Savannah with Jessica.
