[Opinions] Met triplets yesterday...
Samantha, Jennifer and Evelyn. My friend introduced me to them as Sammy, Jenny and Evie so I'm guessing that's what they like to be called. Opinions?

Not bad, although I'm not a fan of Jennifer/Jenny.

I like Evelyn "Evie"

Odd thematic choiceas I don't think the three of them go together. Samantha and Jennifer could work together, and maybe Samantha and Evelyn, depending on the third name, but the three all together seem a bit jarring.I like Samantha, but I detest nicknames for it. I'm not a huge fan of Jennifer - I know ten thousand of them, it seems. I love Evelyn, but I prefer Evvy rather than Evie as a nickname for it (Eh-vee rather than Ee-vee).

I hate all the nn and Samantha and Jennifer just downgrade a classic name like Evelyn.

Nice names but not Evie as a nickname, I find that sickly sweet.

I like Samantha very much, but would never use it because of the nicknames Sam or Sammy. I think it's horrible to call a girl either one. Jennifer was too popular and is now too dated. I was never fond of the "fer" sound at the end of it anyway. Jenny is a nice nickname though. When I can break free of the "old lady" association that Evelyn has for me, and just listen to the sound of it, I realize that it's a pretty name. Overall, it's a pretty good set, but I just can't stand Sammy on a girl.

Samantha and Jennifer strike me as a bit boring and really dated. Evelyn is nice though. I dislike all their nns. I really hate Sammy, I'm starting to feel like it's a inevitable nn for Samantha, and the same goes for Jenny. Evie is okay, but my cousin's cat is named Evie so it's odd on a person for me. Though, I think the set is at least decent. I'm glad all their names are spelled correctly and they're not themey.

Yeah...I found it hard to call her Sammy actually, because it just sounds sort of weird and a bit cutesy.

! I like itNot... their names, exactly [Samantha and Evelyn are okay, I dislike Jennifer] but I like that it's really not themey... even if they all have -ee nicknames, that doesn't mean it was purposeful.Very good.
