What are good triplet names?
Triplets are almost always fraternal multiples, meaning each baby is made of its own egg and sperm combo.
It’s possible for triplets to be any combination of the following: three girls, three boys, two boys and a girl, or two girls and a boy.
In extremely rare cases, identical triplets can result from the same egg and sperm.
When it comes to naming your terrific trio, trust your instincts.
While some mamas prefer to go for names that show the connection among their triplets, others opt for names that celebrate each child’s individuality.
Like all baby names, there’s no one way to do this.
You can choose names that:
- Rhyme.
- Start with the same letter.
- Are themed in some way.
- Refer to famous trios from history.
- Are significant in your family.
Or you can choose names that have nothing to do with one another!
Opting for three different names you like is also a great way to go, regardless of whether they’re connected.
After all, you’re going to have three unique people on your hands, and you may want their names to reflect that.
We’ll give you some ideas of avenues to take.
