I kind of like subtle links like that. Overall a sweet old fashioned sibset with great nickname potential.

---

Jocelyn Emmeline - not the best flow but nice names
Adeline Rose - very pretty
Rosamund Joyce - elegant

a.) It's not that subtle at all
b.) I'm so sad that they passed up the chance to uniquely name three girls.
c.) I only like Emmeline, but I don't think Jocelyn Emmeline is a good combo.

I think the linking is fine since most people won't know the mns Emmeline, Rose or Joyce. Personally, though, I wouldn't concentrate on matching at all. I'd simply go with what I liked. The only problem I see is that Jocelyn feels different in style from Adeline and Rosamund which are perfect together. Are you pronouncing Adeline with the long 'i' sound?

I don't like Jocelyn or Joyce, but the other names are lovely, especially Rosamund.

I'm usually annoyed by the idea of "matchy" sets for twins or triplets, but I do think that this is a better way to do it than having them all rhyming, or all having exactly the same middle name or something.

Also, I don't really understand why Emmeline and Adeline are linked - they both end in -line but are otherwise totally different names. For me it would have made more sense to use Emmeline and Emma or Adeline and Ada or Adele.

I don't like it sorry, I don't think it's particularly subtle either. Personally if I had triplet girls I'd like them to have two names of their own (also meaning I could use six names I loved, rather than three and three similar names :p).

This is not so subtle... Jocelyn and Joyce? c'mon, that's pretty obvious lol. So is Rosamund and Rose.

I like Rose and Jocelyn, but I'm not crazy about the other names, or the linking. It's a bit too matchy.

I think something like Jocelyn Adele flows better than Jocelyn Emmeline. Other than that, I like it.

Cool. I like how it goes back around in a circle. It might be a little cheesy, but at the moment I think it's nest :)
I like Adeline Rose. The combos are all pretty good too; I just don't like Jocelyn and Joyce individually.

Love it!
