A women in the UK has given birth to identical girl triplets (at odds of around 200 million - 1).

Their names are Olivia, Gabriella and Alessia.

Their mother is called Carmella (her surname looked Italian) and the father is called Richard.

WDYT?

Personally I think they make a very pretty sibset (though nms).

They make a good sibset, IMO. I love Gabriella.

Olivia, Gabriella, and Alessia make a very pretty sister set, imo. All three sound very feminine and classy.

Olivia - love this...my #2 favorite girls' name atm

Gabriella - nice, though I prefer Gabrielle

Alessia - probably not something I'd use, personally, but pretty

I don't particularly love any of the names, but I agree that they do make a very nice sibset.

I agree. Very pretty, but not my style. I like Carmella, too.

I like the way they have picked one name which is very popular in Britain (Olivia), one which is Italian but also known in Britain though not popular enough to be in the top 100, (Gabriella) and an Italian name which is quite rare here (Alessia). They all go together very well though. Alessia is very pretty.

I like Olivia and Gabriella, but not Alessia. I think Alicia would be better.

I saw this in the newspaper about 5 mins ago! Anyway, I really like the name Alessia but I don't like the others although they do go well together.

Olivia is boring, the other names are nice enough.

Not exactly my style, but very pretty. I like that they work thematically without being too cutesy.

I think I've seen them before. I recognize the names and the woman I saw also lived in the UK and had identical girl triplets. The couple I saw also had a older son?

Anyway..I like Olivia and Alessia.

The story just came out today as far as I know, but I think the babies are about 4 months old now (they've just went home) so there might have been something in the papers when they were just born. There isn't an older son though as far as I know.

Oh wow, those are crazy odds! That's amazing!

Of the girls' names, Gabriella is my favorite. Olivia is lovely, but seems to be getting so darned popular. Alessia is nice, but to Italian for me personally. I agree, though, that the sibset is pretty.

Carmella is nice, as I know a Carmela and the association is a good one.
And Richard is a personal favorite. :)
