Naming the Triplets

Thanks so much for all the great suggestions so far....we're pretty sure that it's two girls and a boy, but it's a little crowded in there :-) I love alot of the names you've come up with so far, but I'm still having a hard time finding boy names that I really love.
4: Lila nn Lil
Zane nn Z
Dean nn D
Milo nn ???
I'd need more girls names for this.
5: Diana nn Di, Ana
Elise nn ???
Fiona nn Fi (pronounced Fee)
Roman
Sofia nn Sofie (I like the idea of this spelling, as Sophia has gotten much more popular, I think)
Lliah nn Lil
6: Audrey nn ??? (or what do you guys think about Aubrey)
Phoebe nn ???
Tobias nn Toby
Amelia nn Mia, Mel
Danica nn Dannie
7. Eleanor nn Ellie, Nora
Jameson nn Jamie
Addison nn Addie (hasn't this gotten really popular, though?)
Madilyn nn Maddie
Delaney nn Lane, Laney
Bennett nn Benn
Donovan nn Don
Tristan nn ???
Carolyn nn Lynn
8. Caroline nn ???
Felicity nn ???
Rhiannon nn ???
Harrison nn Harris (I like Harris better than Harry)
Annalise nn Anna (I like this a mn too)
9. Kassandra nn Kassie
Genevieve nn Gen
Charlotte nn ???
Nathaniel nn Thane, Nate
So my question is, do you think any of these go together particularly well? Which of the middle names I suggested earlier would go well with them? Here they are again, in case, it's easier to access them here.... Daniel, Andrew, David, Michael, Robert, Charles, Elizabeth, Ann, Marie, Rose, or any variations on them (i.e. Danielle, Chase , Elise, Eliza, Rosalie, Annalise, Liesl, Maria, Marianne, etc.)
THANK YOU!!!!

I posted under your other post, but that didn't have the four letter names :) Here are more of my thoughts:
4: Lila nn Lil - I love this!
Zane nn Z - cool name
Dean nn D - great under used name, I am glad to see it on your list
Milo nn - nn Miles?
More girls names: Iris (nn Izzy), Nora, Ella (nn Ellie/Elle), Cora, Rose (nn Rosie), Avis (nn Avie/Ava), Thea, and Wynn
What about: Lila Elizabeth, Iris Marianne, and Dean Michael
5: Diana nn Di, Ana - I like that it is a classic, but I have a hard time picturing this name on a child.
Elise nn ??? - ahh, I love this name. I typically see this name used most often as a mn, but it works well as a fn. What about Ellie or Lissie
Fiona nn Fi (pronounced Fee) - love it!
Roman - ok...I think it is a tad harsh - what about Elias (nn Eli), David, Isaac (nn Zach), Ethan, Caleb (nn Cal)
Sofia nn Sofie - IMO Sophie and Sofia are 2 diffent names. Sophie can stand on its own and should not be a nn for Sofia. I am seeing the Sofia spelling quite a bit. If this is a name you love go for it.
My favorite combo from this set would be: Elise Rose, Fiona Elizabeth, and Roman Charles
6: Audrey nn ??? - Audrey is great and you might want to put Audra in your 5 letter category. I can't think of any nn - every Audrey I know goes by Audrey
Phoebe nn - Love this name name too! I think that Phoebes is a fun nn
Tobias nn Toby - great name
Amelia nn Mia, Mel - ok, I see this name a lot and I always think about those Amelia Bedelia books. Other nn are Lia, and Millie
Danica nn Dannie - another great pick!
My favs are: Phoebe Rose, Danica Marina, and Tobias Andrew
7. Eleanor nn Ellie, Nora - Nora is one of my most favorite names
Jameson nn Jamie - I also like just James
Addison nn Addie - yes, this has gotten popular, but Adeline has not :) - with Adeline you could do the nn Ada, Addie, or Lainey
Madilyn nn Maddie - My least favorite spelling - what about Madelyn? This looks much nicer
Delaney nn Lane, Laney - cute
Bennett nn Benn - I would do just one n - Ben
Donovan nn Don - hmm...interesting
Tristan nn - not my favorite, but I see its appeal
Carolyn nn Lynn - I am not a fan of the nn Lynn - but Carly would be nice
My favs on this group would be: Eleanor Ann, Adeline Rose, and Bennett Charles
8. Caroline nn - nn Carly, Callie, Carrie, Caddie (my fav)
Felicity nn - I think that Fliss is too cute
Rhiannon nn - I just can't get into this name, sorry
Harrison nn Harris - great name!
Annalise nn Anna - there always the adorable Annie :) I like this spelling as well "Annelise"
I like: Felicity Ann, Caroline Rose, and Harrison David
9. Kassandra nn Kassie - I like this better with a C
Genevieve nn Gen - You could also do the nn Evie
Charlotte nn - Carly, Lottie
Nathaniel nn Thane, Nate
Charlotte Ann, Genevieve Rose, Nathaniel Robert
Keep us posted!
Good luck,
Brooke

4:
Lila nn Lil
Zane nn Z
Dean nn D
Milo nn ???
LOVE Milo, although Lila and Milo are a bit matchy together. Milo could use the nn Miles. Dean is a great name, very strong. Zane is okay, but doesn't seem to fit well at all. 4 letter names are hard for girls, but I LOVE Ruby and Nora. Lila is lovely, but beware of the rising popularity. I prefer the nn Lily, Lil always seems a bit frumpy to me.
5: Diana nn Di, Ana
Elise nn ???
Fiona nn Fi (pronounced Fee)
Roman
Sofia nn Sofie (I like the idea of this spelling, as Sophia has gotten much more popular, I think)
Lliah nn Lil
You could add Miles nn Milo to this list. I really like Miles, Sofia, & Elise. For Diana, since you are using nn Ana (pronounced ON-uh) would you be pronouncing Diana "die-ON-uh"? I prefer Diana "die-ANN-uh" nn Di or Anna (double n's- makes all the differnce). Fiona is lovely, but has a strong Celtic feel that doesn't really match with the others. You could add Elena nn Lainey as another option. Miles, Elena, and Sofia??? nn Milo, Lainey, and Sofie. Cute!
6: Audrey nn ??? (or what do you guys think about Aubrey)
Phoebe nn ???
Tobias nn Toby
Amelia nn Mia, Mel
Danica nn Dannie
I love Audrey, but Aubrey seems a lot more trendy. Audrey, Tobias, and Phoebe is a WONDERFUL combo- so spunky! I love the nn Toby. The only problem there is that Audrey and Phoebe don't have obvious nn's. Danica is okay, but again, seems a bit trendy and doesn't fit with the others as well. I do like Annika a lot better.
7. Eleanor nn Ellie, Nora
Jameson nn Jamie
Addison nn Addie (hasn't this gotten really popular, though?)
Madilyn nn Maddie
Delaney nn Lane, Laney
Bennett nn Benn
Donovan nn Don
Tristan nn ???
Carolyn nn Lynn
I really advise AGAINST Addison- very trendy! But you could consider the other Addy names-Adeline, Adelaine, Adelaide, Adele, Adelia, etc. Eleanor is lovely, but use nn Nora. Ellie is so popular as well. Delaney has a trendy feel, but the nn Lainey is lovely. I would use Elena to get there though. I wouldn't use Madelyn- the Maddie names are REALLY popular now (especially because of the similar Madison) and I have to say that I prefer the Madeleine spelling which gives you the same pronunciation. It looks more classy. None of the names on this list really stand out for me. I love Caroline, but Carolyn is just okay and the nn Lynn is outdated. I like Bennett, but would spell the nn Ben (Benn just looks weird). Donovan is okay, Tristan is okay, Jameson is really nice. No three names really stand out as GREAT though, like some of your others. You could add Claudia to the list, or Cordelia nn Delia,Cora,Cory,Lia, etc. Oh- or Abigail. Popular, but the nn Aila is not. Aila is an adorable nn.
8. Caroline nn ???
Felicity nn ???
Rhiannon nn ???
Harrison nn Harris (I like Harris better than Harry)
Annalise nn Anna (I like this a mn too)
Great choices here :) Caroline is gorgeous. You could use nn Carrie, Ceecee (sp?), or Cara. Felicity is one of my faves- nn Fliss, Faye, Lissy, Flicka, etc. All valid nn's for Felicity. Rhianna is one I don't like at all- very trendy and reminds me of the trashy singer Rhianna. Harrison is FABULOUS and I totally agree that the nn Harris is the best choice. Annalise is also nice, but I prefer the Annelise spelling (still with nn Anna). Harrison, Felicity, and Caroline is my favourite combo.
9. Kassandra nn Kassie
Genevieve nn Gen
Charlotte nn ???
Nathaniel nn Thane, Nate
I like Cassandra nn Cassie, but the K spelling looks odd. Genevieve is beautiful, but nn Gen is boring, misspelled, and outdated. What about Evie/Eve? Charlotte is beautiful. I have seen nn Char, Lottie, or Charlie. And I adore Nathaniel. Very strong. Nathaniel, Charlotte, and Genevieve is lovely- Thane, Char, and Evie?
Hope this helps.
My favourite combo of them all is Miles, Elena, and Sofia??? nn Milo, Lainey, and Sofie.

4: Lila nn Lil
Zane nn Z
Dean nn D
Milo nn ???
More girls names:
My top pick of your choices:
Kassandra (although I *really* prefer Cassandra) nn Kassie/Cassie
Genevieve nn Gen or Genny, other possibilities nn Viv or Vivi ("vee-vee"), I like Genny best though, although Jenny was common in the 70's/80's it's really uncommon for a kid now.
Nathaniel nn Nate or Nathan
mn for above:
Cassandra Elise
Genevieve Rose
Nathaniel Robert
---
my 2nd choice grouping:
Audrey - no nn
Phoebe - no nn
Zander (I know it wasn't on your list, but you like Zane, so I thought I'd throw this in. You can call him Zane. I'm not a huge fan of Tobias.)
mn for above:
Audrey Elizabeth
Phoebe Danielle
Zander Charles
Best wishes!
P.S. My close friend just had triplets a few weeks ago (3 girls). It's a tough pregnancy to go through, so I wish you well. Take it easy!!! She had hers at 34 weeks (her water broke the night before her scheduled c-section, so it was a bit chaotic to say the least). Anyway, she named them Delaney Ann, Mary Elizabeth "Mary Beth", and Samantha Holland, and they're all home and doing well (they spent between just 10 and 14 days in the NICU). Best wishes to you and your babies!
Beth - mommy to Ayden 03/23/02, Owen 06/23/04, & Eliz
Just wanted to let y'all know that we decided to go with:
Genevieve Rose nn Gen/Evie (I think we'll know nn better once we get to know them)
Charlotte Elise nn Charley
Nathaniel Bennett nn Nate/Thane (same goes)
