I posted on here a litle while ago and got some fab suggestions for my triplet boys who are due any day now.

So, they are going to be:

Fergus Andrew
Isaac Peter
Austin Henry

What do you think?
The middle names are family names.
Two of the boys are identical but I can't decide who will have which name.

magaly - I like that though. I'm not a fan of the whole "names must goooo" thing.

Reuben is great.

If you're not sure about Austin, maybe you could give us your criteria and we could have a think. (Though tell me to but out. Not sure how strong your feelings were in that last comment)

Isaac is quite similar in style to other biblical names - Noah, Jacob, etc.

Fergus, hmmm. Sean, Patrick?

lovely names! and congratulations x 3

I like Fergus and Isaac. Not keen on Austin at all. Stylistically (is that a word) they are all very different.

V nice.

I'm not hugely keen on Isaac, but love the other two.

Thanks ladies. Interestingly while I like all the names, Austin is the one I like least as well. I wanted Reuben instead but DH was having none of it!

As, now you see I'd think it was Fergus.

'Austin and Isaac' has a little ring to it for the matching pair.

An excellent set of names, just lovely!

I'm sure you'll know which name is for who when you see them. Looking at the names I'd imagine Austin to be the non-identical triplet, no idea why

confusedfirsttimemum · 23/04/2010 15:42

They are all nice. I am marginally less fond of Austin, for reasons I can't quite put my finger on. But generally they are lovely, strong, classic names.

Am a big fan of Fergus as a name, but DH (who is bloody Irish) doesn't like it. Luckily we had a girl!

All good names

Songbird · 23/04/2010 15:37

Good strong names - congratulations in advance!

Besom · 23/04/2010 15:35
