Laura and Victoria !
I like it,too.I just don't know if I like it enough to name one of our baby girls Laura.
Mark likes Charlotte very much.He also likes Isabella but I am worried because everyone says it is so popular.I know it is but I really like it.I also like Olivia which is very popular.I have a niece named Olivia but we seldom see them as they live in Europe.I want to cry because i am so confused.I want them to have pretty,feminine names but I don't want them to be one of 5 in their class.I have a name like that.I hated being called Jennifer C. or being one of 5 in my class.Once there were 7 Jennifers in my class.
My sister suggested Charlotte,Victoria,and Anne-Louise.I like those very much.I have always loved the name Anne hyphenated with another name.Since I don't want Charlotte to be called a nn I think Victoria would work.I hate Vickie and Tori makes me think of Tori Spelling.Do you think Charlotte Peyton,Victoria Helen,and Anne-Louise are pretty ?
Daisy and Liza like Anna Grace(a little girl in her dance class).Or do you like Charlotte,Laura,and Anne-Louise ? Maybe Anne-Marie ? I have always been devoted to the Blessed Mother so Marie would be lovely.Charlotte Peyton,Laura Helen,and Anne-Marie Louise ? I think since we call Daisy and Liza nns we might tend to give the others nns.I will not let Charlotte be called a nn.Laura doesn't lend itself to a nn except Laurie which I don't care for.Maybe we would call Anne-Marie Annie which is cute.I feel like throwing all of the names in a hat and picking that way.I am just so anxious.I am having contractions but not regularly.I think they will be born soon.Poor babies with no names.Help !

What a wonderful problem, to be naming triplets. :-)

OK, my thoughts are:

Nix Isabella. Way too many of them right now. I like Isabel better, anyway.

Laura is ok but seems kind of 70s to me. But it IS a nice name.

Charlotte, Victoria, and Anne-Louise are awesome. I also like Anne-Marie.

As for the middle names, are they for relatives? I think Anne-Marie Helen and Victoria Louise might work better. Charlotte Peyton is fine.

These are honestly all lovely names. Why not take a list to the hospital and see what they look like?

By the way, are you full term? How far have you made it with triplets? I know triplet pregnancies usually are fraught with complications...

Blessings,
Carrie

I do like Victoria. I think that if you just call her Victoria, everyone else will too.
As far as Laura. I wouldn't name one of them that. How about Larissa? It means cheerful. You could call her Lacey if you wanted to. Charlotte is a very nice name.

Victoria Helene
Charlotte Olivia
Larissa Peyton

As far as Anne-Louise. NMS. I LOVE Annie-Kate. Or Anna-Marie. Both very nice names.
You must be exhausted. I hope that you pick the perfect names soon.

I'm so confused! I thought you already had these babies!!!! Aren't they Sebastian, Nathaniel, and Francesca (beautiful names, all!)

Oh, gosh! I just checked! That was someone else with triplets! Ooops! Sorry! There just aren't that many people who have triplets.

Ok, so your names! I must say I like Anne-Louise! What a pretty suggestion! It sounds very elegant and somehow French. I think Anna-Louise would be even better. I also like the name Eloisa, as an alternative suggestion along the same lines. Charlotte is beautiful. I love it. (It is my daughter's name.) So, Charlotte is a French name and Anne-Louise sounds French, even though it may not be (too early in the morning for me to check the origins of the names.) I think you need another name that has that French elegance to it, but is commonly (enough) used here in the US.

How about:
Charlotte, Anne-Louise, and Helena
Charlotte, Anne-Louise, and Juliette
Charlotte, Anne-Louise, and Eugenie

I hope some of these suggestions help. If I think of more, I'll post again.

I agree- nix Olivia nd Isabella as fn but use them as mn's if you like them so much. Isabel is lovely and less common as fn vs Isabella and lends itself to cute nn's such as Izzy or Belle which sounds adorable with Daisy and Liza.

I love Anne-Louise, she could be Annie ( so cute!) or Lulu! Great choice! put that in teh definate column!

And I like Charlotte- very pretty but I feel she needs a nn- all your other girls have cute ones! Go with Helena- nn Laney!

so you have:

Isabel Charlotte nn Belle
Helena Olivia or Helena Victoria nn Laney
Anne-Louise Grace nn Annie

Or how about Mary-Olivia! That is gorgeous! maybe nn could be Molly.

I love the name Anne Marie and I think calling her Annie when she is little is super cute. I like Victoria but I don't really like the name Vickie.
