Should really be Casper, Melchior and Balthazar after the three kings! Thaddeus was a disciple.

Lovely. Like both. Use Nebuchadnezzar if it accidentally is triplets. Or Nicodemus, which is the fabbest name ever.

Thaddeus was a disciple - and also known as Jude or Judas the Apostle 🤔 (no, not that Judas!)

These are awful names to inflict on your lovely babies, sorry OP.
An apostle and of the Wise Men. Just...why?

Those poor children.

Kanga83 · 14/07/2019 20:17

I love Thaddeus!

ErrolTheDragon · 14/07/2019 20:18

Together they sound like a pair of shady characters in a Victorian melodrama.

Balthazar? Come ON!!

SpanishTiles · 14/07/2019 20:21

James and John are very nice this time of year Confused

IggyAce · 14/07/2019 20:26

Balthazar was the name I didn’t have the guts to use plus I’m sure dh would have vetoed it. So I say go for it.

macdhui · 14/07/2019 20:26

Love Thaddeus

Soontobe60 · 14/07/2019 20:30

Oh dear, neither of them are names I would choose. If you're thinking of nicknames, then Baz for Balthazar is also short for Barry. Everyone will assume he's called Barry. Thaddeus shortened to Thad, Thaddy, Thads etc just sounds very very odd.

SleepingStandingUp · 14/07/2019 20:31

@LittleFairywren not sure they need your sympathy but I'll be sure to pass ito on😂

I think Thaddeus is probsy more usable, but then I need a name to go with it.

AssangesCat · 14/07/2019 20:38

Hold on, is no one else a little agog at

Balthazar on a cv sounds too much like an immigrant though.

Rufusthebewilderedreindeer · 14/07/2019 20:39

Hold on, is no one else a little agog at

I was very agog

But i thought if i ignored it it might go away

Kanga83 · 14/07/2019 20:40

Or Bartholomew as an alternative to Balthazar .Teddy and Bart as nn

TheoryOfADeadman · 14/07/2019 20:45

I'm also in the midlands. I'm 99.9% positive a lad called Balthazar would have been ripped to shreds over his name at any of our local secondary schools.

TheoryOfADeadman · 14/07/2019 20:46

@C0untDucku1a my mind also went straight to Cole! 😊

SoftSheen · 14/07/2019 20:47

Thaddeus is OK, Balthazar might be just one step too far...

How about:

Thaddeus and Edmund
Thaddeus and Benedict
Thaddeus and Maximillian
Thaddeus and Horatio
Thaddeus and Frederick
Thaddeus and Bartholomew
