Utah triplets: Vinal, Velma, Vilda

The Mauss triplets at one year old
The Mauss triplets (at one year old)

Michael and Charlottie Mauss of Murray, Utah, were married in 1893 and went on to have a total of nine children, including a set of triplets.

The triplets — one boy, followed by two girls — were born on October 16, 1900. They were named Vinal, Velma, and Vilda. (At the age of 90, Vinal told a reporter: “Vinal sounds the same as vinyl, but I came first.”)

The Mauss triplets Velma, Vinal, and Vilda
Velma, Vinal, and Vilda Mauss

Believed to be the first surviving set of triplets born west of the Mississippi, the trio was exhibited at the Utah State Fair in 1907.

Where did their names come from?

Family legend has it a friend of their mother’s heard the names somewhere, and in the excitement or exhaustion of having triplets, Mr. and Mrs. Mauss agreed to them.

(The name Velma was relatively common back in those days, but the names Vinal and Vilda were not.)

The triplets’ two older siblings were named Myrtle and Michael, and their four younger siblings were named Adella, Ruby, Lowell, and Afton.

What do you think of Vinal, Velma, and Vilda as triplet names?

Baby names associated with green: Ivy, Forest, Olive, Jade

green trees

Looking for baby names that are associated with green — including baby names that mean “green”?

If so, you’ve come to the right place! I’ve collected dozens of options for you in this post.

Before we get to the names, though, let’s take a quick look at what the color green represents…

Symbolism of green

What does the color green signify?

In Western cultures in particular, green can be symbolic of:

  • Nature
  • Growth
  • Wealth
  • Luck
  • Envy
  • Freshness
  • Quality

The overriding association with nature is due to the abundance of green plant life on Earth. Plants contain a green pigment called chlorophyll that allows them to absorb energy from light.

The color can also be associated with safety and permission, thanks to green traffic lights (which signal when it’s safe to proceed).
