[OhWhatFuckeryIsThisNow]

From today’s Times.

Are the parents palaeontologists?

Keeping the anonymity there by just leaving the forenames

Those poor children

I always thought that was a boys name 😂

Triptych is an artwork in 3 panels isn't it? Its a bit like calling a kid palette or easel.

I think Cryptic would be a nicer name or Peripatetic.

They appear to have named in birth order (Di- meaning two and Tri- meaning three). Maybe just chosen random words with relevant prefixes?

Oh Jesus. Those poor children

One of my favourite pass times is looking at the birth announcements.

It’s always “Mary and John welcome Zippidoodah Zebedee Gloriana Haltwhistle Smith, brother to big sisters Heebejeebee Skywalker Aphrodite and Maximuszimmius Cartwinkle Beheezuz...”

@pleaseChooseAnother maybe the next baby will be Quadroped 🤩

Isn't that the Rees Mogg family?

Lol I saw this too and shared. Poor old Triptych.

I would have had it pegged as a boys name...

Next up Quadrangle.

Maybe they thought they were having triplets?

I’m not hating Dionysus tbf.

To be fair, it would need to be a name that lived up to the ones already given to her siblings

Reminds me of the old (sadly no more) kebab shop on the corner of Tottenham Court Road. Beloved of boozed-up students on a Friday night...

I went to school, primary through to high school, with a few Greek guys who went by Dennis as the English version of their Greek name, Dionysius.

Dionysus? I remember that too.

Jesus wept

Yup. A bit like Pizza Crola on Sauchiehall St. You’d find remains in your kitchen (or bed) on a Saturday morning with no memory...

@BlueThursday love the Partridge reference there😂

@Liquorishtoffee oh pizza crolla! That and morelos on Great Western Road often filled a hole!

There are no words I would probably assume it was a boy though, isn't Trip a nickname for boys in the US?

"Hi, Di, Tri! Good morning, campers!"
