Final decision on triplet names please?

[Westwind]

Hello,

It's our final decision (maybe?) on our triplet boy names,
please help me decide which ones you like the best. Suggestions or thoughts are very appreciated. Opinions are gladly received. Our final list is;

Alexander, Edmund and Theodore
Augustus, Edmund and Theodore
Augustus, Alexander and Theodore
Stephen, Edmund and Theodore
or Stephen, Alexander/Augustus and Theodore

We keep struggling with these names indeed, so please help. I would like to know your opinions and thoughts. Which ones are nicer? I'm very open to any suggestions and ideas. You can give us your honest views please. (We don't choose Edward instead of Edmund because we have Edward in our social circle. Also Augustus, but I somehow still can't drop off this name.)

Feel free to choose or suggest.
Thank you so much!

Alexander, Edmund and Theodore. Definitely.

I like Steven spelt this way too.

From your names already i think Sebastian would go lovely with Alexander and Theodore.

Alexander , Edmund and Theodore

Love the

Angus
Henry
Edwin

suggestion. Same number of syllables and letters!

I'm really not keen on Edmund or Augustus tbh . I think Alexander and Theodore are much 'cooler' and I think in comparison , Edmund is a bit old/not cool. Like when they're older he'll feel like he's got a rubbish name compared to the other 2.... Maybe just me ?

I'm not totally keen on Stephen either . But I do prefer it to Augustus/Edmund.

Is Sebastian a no go ? I like....

Alexander, Theodore & Sebastian
Alexander, Theodore & Christopher
Alexander, Theodore & Benjamin
Alexander, Theodore & Jenson??

Alvin, Simon, Theodore?

Oh come on! Got to be Huey, Dewey and Louie surely?

Augustus, Alexander and Theodore

Of your list this is the best as Edmund is a terrible name. Have you not read Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe (spiteful nasty mean)? Watched Blackadder? It is a name associated with unpleasantness and meanness.

Augustus is a fantastic name. As is Theodore.

Edward is much nicer and fits better with your list - tbh I'd bite the bullet notwithstanding another Edward in your social circle whoever it is. Social circles rarely stay static (nephews/nieces/cousins - grow up, move away, do their own thing/ elders die/friends change) and it is unlikely to be a severe issue -there are plenty of people in the world with the same name! You can cope short term by nicknames if you have to or adding a surname or middle intial to distinguish if it's a big problem (Edward S type thing).

Edgar, Alexander and Theo
Edgar, Alastair and Theo
Edgar, Austin and Theo

Alastair is the Scottish/Gaelic firm of Alexander and Austin is a form of Augustus and I like Edgar better than Edmund. :) Good luck.

Alexander, Edmund and Theodore.

Congratulations OP. When are you due?

How about Alexander, Theodore and Stefan?

I’m not keen on Theodore, but Alexander, Edmund and Stephen would be great.

Alexander Edmund and Theodore lovely names!!!

I love the first suggestion you have OP. Bit a big fan of Stephen.

Not*

I would avoid using the same first initial, Augustus and Alexander. They are likely to be In The same classes and with the same DoB and first initial it could cause confusion. I love all the names except Stephen, which does not sit well with the others.

Alexander, Edmund and Theodore.

Alex Ed and Theo go well together.

Triplets! Good luck!

Alex, Ed and Theo! I have a Theodore myself and love the name still 9 years on! Good luck!

In our school there are lots of Theos and Alexes that they generally have to add their surname or initials to be identified.

Personally I find Augustus and Stephen much more interesting!

My favourite is Augustus, Alexander and Theodore. X

Alexander, Edmund and Theodore

By far.

Alexander, Edmund and Theodore

I have three boys but I had mine in two year gaps. Boys are fab.

My favourites would be - Augustus, Alexander and Theodore.

I prefer August to Augustus.

Gus, Xander and Teddy 😊

Stephen, Alexander and Theodore :) (of Edmund)

I'm not too fond of Augustus tbh.

And I agree with the pp, August is nicer than Augustus...
