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.

Congratulations! How exciting to be choosing 3 names...

Im probably not going to be much help but Im really not convinced on Fergus...it doesn't seem to go with the other 2 as well if that makes any sense?!

I actually like:-
Isaac,Henry and William.

But my DS is called William George so I am ever so slightly biast!

Lovely names
/whispers really like reuben though

Oh Wow! Triplet boys Congratulations!

I love Fergus and I think Isaac's pretty good too.

Austin isn't for me so I'm pleased you've decided not to go for this one.

Although, I think its a good thing that they don't sound like a matching set, I agree with Maria2007loveshersleep that William Peter isn't quite right in combo with your other names. William is a lovely name but much 'safer' and more usual than your other two boys names, could you give him a more edgy middle name to balance it out? It's not a big thing but might be worth a thought so he doesn't feel hanker for an edgier name when he gets older.

Best of luck with everything!

Fantastic names. Choose names by weight of your babies ie Fergus being the heaviest baby. Austin the middle weight and Issac for the lightest baby. From previous experience of friends with multiple births, this strange theory works. People will find it easier to identify each child, if names match their weights. I knew of one lady who chose Hugo and Finley for her twins - Hugo was perceived by everyone to be the heaviest and biggest baby but she had used this name for the lightest baby and everyone got the babies mixed up for a considerable period of time!

Depending on your surname, have your checked that the initials of Fergus Andrew don't spell out anything awful? If your surname begins with T, you'd better have a rethink!
