    - I was wondering this because my first thought when I read this was that you were Hispanic. These sound very Hispanic, especially Helena. Cute names would be Anita, Clara, and Helen - all not popular but are pretty and all close variations of the names you already have. Good luck with your pregnancy.

        Really. I think Clara and Helen are MUCH better than the alternative. Plus, it seems like she is taking normal names and changing them for the sake of changing them. Pretty sure Helena came from the name Helen anyway.

        I know a Helena and think it's a great name. I like Clara much much better than Clarice. OP, how are you pronouncing Helena? (Hel-lee-na or like Elena but with an H)

        Or just maybe, Helen came from Helena? After all, English didn't even exist when Homer was writing about Helen of Troy! To OP, Clarice is the only name I don't like - the Silence of the Lambs reference as mentioned below, but also just don't like it.

        I am not I am just saying that to me if I heard the names, I would assume the parents were Hispanic. I didn't say there is anything wrong with being Hispanic or choosing Hispanic names. I like to know so I don't suggest other names that are maybe too American or too 'other culture' for them.

- I think all of the names are lovely. I am not a fan of Clarice, but that is just my personal taste and I think it goes well with Amalia and the others. Congratulations and best of luck for a long and healthy pregnancy!

      - I know she was a Brazilian? writer but can't say I'm familiar with her work. I'll check it out if only so I have a better frame of reference for a name than a cartoon reindeer. Good luck to you. Triplets won't be easy, but it will be worth it.

        Whoa!! you've got it all wrong? What's racist? Rhyming names for triplets?? Love it, so cute. And, will parents of single newborns let alone twins or triplets not be tired? I'm not sure what your issue is but I think you've misread something.

        B and C rhyme with Anita. Examples were meant to be more illiterative than suggestive. Sorry to offend. I like the idea of a little group/unity. There's something special about triplets and actually I just thought the names suggested by OP sounded too forced. No offense meant.

- Perhaps you might like the names "Ananka" (Anika) or simply "Anna" or "Ana" in the place of "Anita," or "Claire" or "Clara" in the place of "Clarice." Im more one for simple names. I think "Helena Maria" is beautiful though or possibly even Helena "Marie" I adore all your middle names ideas! GL!
