Boy names for triplets please?

Hello,

I'm looking for boy triplets names or ideas, and I'm very open to suggestions because I really have no idea, I'm overwhelmed with the idea of naming three boys. Anyway my DH like name Stephen, and he would like the others two have the same first letter even if there isn't too many names start with S so far. For me I still don't have the name I particularly like, so any names or ideas please?

They don't necessary to have alliteration, or be matchy or vice versa, just would like to know your idea like if you were having triplet boys, what would you name them. And I also don't have any specific ideas, so please help. Very open here.

Any thoughts are appreciated. Thank you!

Stephen, Paul and Matthew.
Don't go for all names starting with the same letter or you'll end up with Xavier, Xander and Xerxes or something.

My DS 21 has three v good friends who are triplet boys, they are Nathaniel, Aaron, and Will. They are lovely boys (young men!)!

If I had to boy name triplets now I’d call them

Nicholas, Joel and Frankie.

If one of them had to be Stephen I’d probably go

Stephen, James and Daniel

for some reason 😄

Congratulations!!

I wouldn't personally name them all with the same letter because it will cause enormous confusion and also, they might want their own identity and special initials.

BackforGood · 10/08/2018 17:01

I was going to come on and say PLEASE don't give them 'matchy' names. They will go through life being "the triplets" and the worst thing is to add to that lack of individual identity by making them a 'set'.

Your dh's idea is a really bad one.
Long before post, you will have 16+ years of labelling things. You REALLY, REALLY, want them each to have their own letter to identify their things, or just jotting down who is doing what on the calendar, etc.etc.

I like the name Stephen - a good solid, traditional name that doesn't really 'date' anyone.
similar names I'd say are :
Mark, David, Daniel, Andrew, Robert, James, John or Jonathan, Edward, Richard

Peachbubble · 10/08/2018 16:38

Stephen, Andrew and Robert

Millipedewithherfeetup · 10/08/2018 16:34

Think that having all 3 with the same initial forename will be very confusing !

MeyMary · 10/08/2018 16:23

Stephen, Samuel and Sebastian? But I really wouldn't use 3 s names...
Stephen, Matthew and James?

Combos I personally like (got a bit carried away, tbh.Blush)

Nathaniel, James and Frederick
Charles, Victor and Anthony
Harry, George and Oliver
John, Paul and Luke
Leonardo, Matteo and Vittorio
Magnus, Hector and Cormag

Hippodames, Hippolytes and Hippopotamus - I understand are very popular at the moment. Wink

Theo, Max and Gabriel.

RagamuffinCat · 10/08/2018 15:55

George, Henry and Reuben :)

userabcname · 10/08/2018 15:54

If I were having triplets (congratualtions by the way!), I'd go for Leo, George and Jacob. Or, my braver choices would be Sebastian, Raphael and Orion.

IggyAce · 10/08/2018 15:48

Stephen, James, Paul
Stephen, Andrew, Michael

If wanting the same first initial how about:
Stephen, Sebastian and Samuel.

Cauliflowersqueeze · 10/08/2018 15:48

Don’t have all three with S names it’s really naff!

Stephen, Robert, Michael.

NotUmbongoUnchained · 10/08/2018 15:47

Don’t go for a “theme” names Grin

Yours sincerely, a triplet with a theme name.

WhereIsBlueRabbit · 10/08/2018 15:46

Boys' names beginning with D which you might like:

Samuel
Seth
Saul
Sebastian
Simon

But I agree with others about the shared initial confusion. How about

Stephen, Joseph and Arthur
Stephen, Francis and Michael
Stephen, Peter and Matthew
Stephen, John and Henry

Ticcinalong · 10/08/2018 15:46

Scott, Spencer, Seth, Samuel, Stanley, Shaun are S names with a similar ‘feel’ to Stephen.

More ‘way out’ S names are Sullivan, Sawyer, Sage, Shiloh.

I wouldn’t feel tied to S names though.

Takfujimoto · 10/08/2018 15:45

Stephen, William, Thomas
Stephen, Christopher, James
Stephen, Joseph, Peter
Stephen, Benjamin, Joshua
Stephen, Nicolas, Paul
Stephen, Mark, John
