33 Baby Names For Triplets, Because You Need All The Help You Can Get

If you’ve given birth to triplets, then you’re a strong warrior. That’s why you might want to bestow names upon your babies that also signify strength. Brianna (a Celtic name that means “strong”), Ethan (a Hebrew name that means “strong, firm”), and Matilda (an Old German name that means “mighty in battle”) are all awesome names for your tough (yet totally adorbs) triplets.

From the moment you laid your eyes on those three sweet faces, you fell absolutely in love. So why not give your babies names that are at once lovely and actually mean “love”? Rhys is a Welsh name that means “passion, love,” and Esme (pronounced “Ez-may”) is a baby girl’s name of French origin that means “loved.” And Carys (also of Welsh origin) means “love” as well.

Looking for something a little different when it comes to naming your triplets? Look to location names that can open up a world (ha) of possible baby names. You can pick a state, city, or even a country, like Egypt, Holland, and Morocco above. Heck, while you’re at it, you might want to consider a continent, too. Antarctica, Africa, or Asia, anyone?

If you’re going the gender-neutral naming route, you might go crazy over Charlie, Skyler, and Finley. Charlie is of German origin and means “free man,” while Skyler is of Dutch origin and means “scholar.” And then, there’s Finley, which means “fair-haired hero” and is of both Irish and Scottish origin.

You consider your triplets a total gift. So naming them with the theme of gratitude might go well with the names Thaddeus, Aaron, and Eijaz. Thaddeus is a gender-neutral name of Aramaic origin and means “gift of God,” and Aaron, typically a Hebrew name for boys, means “exalted, strong.” Eijaz, a popular Muslim name, means “blessings, miracle” — which fits perfectly for your own three tiny miracles.

If naming three kids sounds daunting, you might want to take a look at what’s trending right now. Liam and Emma are currently the most popular baby names in the U.S., according to the Social Security Administration. Other popular names in the top 10 include Noah, Olivia, William, Ava, Isabella, Oliver, Lucas, and Mason. So if you’re planning on naming three babies, you definitely have a lot of modern monikers to consider.

Let’s say that you want your triplets’ names to sound similar, but not so much the same. Enter rhyming names. You can name your babies with ending sounds, like the “iah” sound you’ll find in Aaliyah, Josiah, or Isaiah. Another option is for the names to end with an “A” or an “O” sound, which sound soft, sweet, and melodic.

Forget about formal names. Some parents are skipping long first names in favor of shorter nicknames. You can take pretty much any name and see what its nickname might be (think Nikki for Nicole or Maddy for Madison or Madigan). Having a cute nickname for a first name will make your baby even more adorable than they already are.

OK, so you’re a Friends fanatic. Give your gals the names that everyone will love. You can even sing “Smelly Cat” to soothe your babies to sleep. One thing’s for sure: They’ll always be there for each other.

Disney princesses are beautiful badasses, and Ariel, Belle, and Tiana are no exception. So if you love everything Disney, you can name your children after these powerful princesses. It might not register with people that they’re named after princesses until they hear all of their names together, which almost makes it like a sweet little surprise.

Your baby girls will be golden (get it?) if you name them after the leading ladies from The Golden Girls. And since there are four female protagonists, you can swap out one name in favor of another (Blanche, anyone?). Just be sure to have some cheesecake ready after bringing your babies home that you can eat on your lanai — or, you know, your couch.

Naming your kiddos after TV or film characters is nothing new. And since Game of Thrones is, like, one of the most popular shows ever, it might explain why you’ve been hearing the names Daenerys, Brienne, and Lyanna floating around a lot more lately. After all, who wouldn’t want to name their child after the Mother of Dragons?

Whether it was Wuthering Heights that won your heart or the delicious depth of Jane Eyre, you can name your daughters after the three sisters who defined a generation of literature. Bonus points if you give one (or all) of them the middle name Bronte. And Charlotte ranks as one of the most popular baby names right now, too.

At some point in your educational career, you sat in a class and read Little Women. (Or at some point in the past year or so, you watched the movie.) If the March sisters inspired you in some way, you can name your little lassies after these female protagonists. Amy, Beth, Meg (or Jo) would be so thrilled. Or, you can do a wink and nod to the author, and name one of your children Louisa, after Louisa May Alcott.

Well, if you’re considering Phoebe, Monica, and Rachel, then it’s only fair to the Friends fan in your family to give the guys’ names some attention, too. Who knows, maybe your sons will have some of these characters' hilarious traits. Could you be any more excited about having triplets?

While the princesses’ names are obviously destined to be popular, the Disney princes definitely deserve some attention, too. Although you might have to take a moment to remember all of the princes’ names, it will be worthwhile, since Eric (from The Little Mermaid), Flynn (from Rapunzel), and Adam (from Beauty and the Beast) are all awesome names for baby boys, too.

When you’re all about the alliteration, naming your triplets with names beginning with the same letter is a no-brainer. Even better if the names have the same number of syllables, or are close in spelling. It will make things a lot easier in the future, when you’re trying to call out one kiddo’s name, and you can’t quite get it out.

No doubt about it: classic names never go out of style. If you’re looking to have a timeless quality to the babies’ chosen names, you can’t beat simple ones like James, Sophia, and Amelia. They’re cute without being corny, and each name stands out on its own.

Everything old is new again, and that’s definitely true for baby names. Old-fashioned names, like Eleanor, Beatrice, and Alice, have gone from outdated to modern once again. Your grandma would be so proud.

Although giving birth is definitely like going into the unknown, that doesn’t mean that you can’t have some Frozen-inspired names ready to name your babies with. Anna and Elsa are strong, powerful, #sistergoals. And if you have a boy, you can always name him Kristoff so everyone will always be together. You never know — they might want to build a snowman together when they get older.

Let’s say that you’re not so much with the matchy-matchy names. We hear you. But since you’re having three babies, why not give them names that go in alphabetical order? You can choose any names you’d like, as long as they start with an ABC. These names are classic and seeing a huge comeback.

When it’s all Greek, giving your child a god-like name is a good way to go. While some names — like Adonis and Ares — are more well-known, there’s also the love story of Leander and Hero, reported Greek Mythology.

Floral names can be fun for a baby girl — or three. Rose is a popular old-fashioned name that has seen a resurgence lately, while your little girl can be called Calla for the beautiful Calla Lily. (The name also means “beautiful” in Greek.) And the poppy plant, which blooms flowers in vibrant reds and pretty pinks, is an utterly adorable name. You can always plant a garden for your girls to tend to as they get older with the flowers that bear their names.

Natural names are all the rage, but you probably don’t want to name your kid Grass, Dirt, or Soil (or you might, no judgment here). If you’re looking for something more intriguing, how about Leif (a play on the word leaf), or Wolfe? And of course, Forrest is a great name if you’re a big fan of the Tom Hanks movie Forrest Gump.

When it comes to baby names, you really can’t go wrong with a royal one. So if you’re looking for some inspiration, the royal family is a good place to start. Choose from Queen Elizabeth, the beloved Princess Diana, or even her son, Prince William. Just be sure that your heir (or heiress) has a crown for that cute little head.

You already think that your gaggle of girls is pretty priceless. So name them after gemstones that are truly precious. Pearl, Ruby, and Amber are just some of the names you can choose that show how much your babies make you feel sparkly inside.

Flowers are always a good go-to when you’re thinking of baby names. Rosemary, Poppy, and Daisy are three of those names that are at once old-fashioned and modern yet again. Heck, the scent of the flowers just might match that delicious newborn baby smell.

Let’s face it: Z baby names aren’t entirely common. That’s why your triplets will totally stand out with Z names like Zachary, Zoe, and Zander. And Zee is a cute nickname that is gender-neutral for all three kids.

Remember reading The Odyssey in your high school English class? (Yeah, neither do we.) But if you do, the names Atlas, Damon, and Adonis might ring a bell. Atlas was a Titan who was forced to hold up the heavens for all eternity, while Damon symbolizes what it means to be a friend. And Adonis, swoon, was the pretty boy of Greek mythology, and the love interest of Aphrodite.

Inspo for your babies’ names can come from anywhere, even The Good Book. You can opt for Adam (of Adam and Eve infamy), Caleb (who was loyal to God), and David (best known for defeating the giant Goliath).

If you’re going to mention Biblical boys’ names, you can’t leave the girls out. Abigail, who is known for both her brains and beauty, Delilah (a femme fatale in the Bible), and Mary, the mother of Jesus.

Looking to salute The Emerald Isle? Then you’ll love these Irish-oriented names. Saoirse (pronounced Ser-sha), Niamh (pronounced Neev or Nee-iv), and Aine (pronounced Awn-ye), will make you feel like you’re down in Dublin.

Rhyming names are so much fun, especially when you say all of them together. Erin, Finn, and Helen are adorable on their own, but combined, they make a trifecta of sweet fun.
