Can we use these three names together?

[Babblingbooks]

Or will everyone make the connection I've just made?
We already have a James and an Edward and had more or less decided on Henry for DC4 if they’re a boy 😅

Will people make the connection? Does it matter since they’re all quite classic simple names anyway?

I thought kings. Do kids still watch Thomas the tank engine anyway? There would be no teasing? All lovely names.

My first thought was Thomas The Tank Engine but only because you asked the question… all lovely names!

Three lovely names. I think it comes down to whether it will forever irritate you if anyone makes a Thomas The Tank Engine joke. As they are such classic names I can't really see it being an issue myself.

Seems fine to me! If you were proposing a Percy and a Gordon I might have twigged, but I think you’ll be absolutely fine with the three names you’ve listed!

It’s absolutely fine as they are all popular timeless, classic names -I bet historically when larger families were more commonplace that lots of people had sibsets with James, Edward, Henry in them (and if there were even more boys they probably had a William and a George too, many people like “Kingly” names).

Just don’t be tempted to use Percy (or maybe even classic Thomas himself ) if you have a fifth. That might cross the (train)line🤣.

My first thought was kings. Is your daughter Elizabeth?!

I did think of trains immediately but my child is currently going through an intense Thomas the tank engine phase so that will be why. Can't say what I would have thought of otherwise.

I don't know if it's OK but I find myself in the same boat!! My boy name choices tend towards Thomas The Tank or the Royal Family lol...

Harold is another option.

I don’t think it’s bad that they are all in Thomas. They are nice names that go well together

Perfect names I hadn’t a clue what you were alluding to tbh

That’s the helicopter. 😂

Is the girl Rosie?

Lovely names, totally fine

No Thomas no connection

I would not put them in tank tops though

Ok like lots of others I thought kings, which is fine (I am not a royalist at all but ds1 has a king’s name and dd has the same name as several queens).

yy no Thomas so no link to tank engines.

I think kings.

You can't leave one child without his own engine.
James, Edward and Henry are great.

Others ..
Duck
Murdoch
Victor
Skarloey

Great names!

I did not think of trains either, but of the current British royal family.
Prince Henry/Harry
Prince Edward
and his son James.

I have a Henry James and Edward Jamieson. If baby number 3 is another boy I'm going full King route with William 😅

They work well together I think! Lovely names OP x

Definitely kings here.

Great names.

See, my first thought was vacuum cleaners. They're the names of other models in the Henry range. They are decent names though.

I thought of the Fox acting dynasty!

4th is fat controller?

My friend had a dog called Diesel.

My DS aged 2 1/2 marched into nursery one day and baffled the staff by announcing firmly "I called James and my baby sister is called Gordon". (He is not, and we had gone with something more conventionally feminine for newborn DD...)
