Beth78 Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 You could do Aden Braden and Caden and name them in ABC order according to birth. Or Howard, Sheldon and Leonard ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris in VA Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 No lie, my husband's dad's family included sibs named Don, Dawn, and Donna....Not triplets. If you start all their names with the same letters, they'll have the same monograms... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewe Mama Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 What are the triplet boys named in the show "My Three Sons?" I always forget. I think there's a Robby and a Charlie. Our boys' middle names are Samuel, Nathaniel, and Emmanuel. The rhyming was a total oops. Fortunately, I did not inherit my mother's tendency of calling children by their middle names when I am angry. We do have an Isaiah, an Elijah, and a Henry. One of the names belongs to one of our dogs. NicAnn, how are you feeling? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aggieamy Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 I love this thread. I have no interest in having another baby but if I did I think I'd let the Hive name them. One more suggestion: Fred, George, and Feorge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mommymonster Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 I originally thought to go with Wash ("Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal") but Wash's real name is "Hoban Washburne" -- that's gonna require some serious 'splaining. I'd go with Wash instead of Simon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danestress Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Just remember that your kids will primarily be in your home for 18 years or so. Then they will, God willing, have 60 or more years on their own when they are not primarily identified as part of a sibling group but will be husbands, professionals, parents, or whatever else they make themselves. Give them lovely names that you think they will like, but don't make it about being 'the triplets.' Most of their lives will not be about that - they will only be part of 'the triplets' for these (far too, for you) few years. My twins love each other. But they would really hate having matchy names or 'theme' names. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gardenmom5 Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 I go for catagory #1. I always think - what name would generate confidence from an employer? some names just generate too many stares - and you don't want to do that to an adult.

Slache Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Tom, Dick, and Harry. Sincerely though, I like strong boy names, because boys turn into men, and I like strong names for men. My son is John William. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they would really hate having matchy names or 'theme' names. You know she's right. Biblical or classical names are great but I would always mix up Ezra, Isaac and Isaiah. Maybe fine for middle names. Will you even tell us what you name them? I have a 2nd cousin named Jasper, he's in his 20s. His brother is Jordan, 20s also. I wouldn't want to name my kids all starting with the same first letter purposefully, multiples or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbgrace Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 I think my favorites would be Isaac, Henry and either Ezra or Caleb. Someone up thread mentioned Benjamin. I like that one too. Maybe instead of Isaac. It feels like it goes with the other choices better to me somehow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lamolina Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 I know triplet boys named Sam, Ben, and Jack. Great individual names and also easy to say together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanaqui Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 My twins love each other. But they would really hate having matchy names or 'theme' names. There used to be a yearly or so special about conjoined twins, probably ran on TLC. One set of twins featured every special was joined at the forehead, and their parents had named them Laurie and Dorie. Except that when they grew up, Dorie changed her name, probably because she was sick of it. Bad enough to be literally joined at the hip forehead without having to be all matchy-matchy about it! As any rate, as anybody with siblings knows, parents already mix up names all the time even if they sound dissimilar and the kids don't look alike. Heck, when I'm yelling at one kid, half the time I yell out a cat's name before I get to the bottom of the list and remember which name fits the face! But if you give your twins matching names, you just know that every time you mix them up they're going to think it's your fault and it would never have happened if they had normal names. Make life easier, don't really make them too obviously matching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiana Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Another vote for Jayne, Malcolm, and River. With little Jayne hats and brown onesies. It'll be awesome. Or ... James, Leonard, and Scott (yeah, I know it's his surname, BUT). You can then dress them in gold/blue/red onesies and it'll be AWESOME.

happypamama Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Rock, Paper, Scissors! (I love Tiny, Shiny, and Don -- those are adorable and hilarious! I do not think I'd go with Jayne, Malcolm, and River, because people will think the one is a girl. I like Biblical names myself (my four boys all have them), and I think Zeke is very cute.

swellmomma Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 My twins don't have remotely similar names and I still call them by their brother's name, although they look nothing alike. Whether I am sleep deprived or not. It's worse when sleep deprived and angry then they are all named "AuKayHunIz...which ever you are get over here!" I have 2 little girls in my daycare, 1 is 4 the other just turned 6. The 6 yr old made name tags for the 2 of them because I am forever calling them by each other's names. I know which is which but mess it up often enough the 6 yr made name tags. It will be easier in sept, 6 yr old comes with me to my afterschool care, little sis stays in the daycare As for names, I prefer the classic list, though the fun list is pretty awesome If I was to have anymore sons I would go with Liam, Hayden and Declan (not exactly biblical especially since Hayden means heathen lol but it would work for my kids haha) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
