Alvin, Simon, Theodore?

You would think with three kids coming, it would be easier to pick names… we wouldn’t just have to settle on one – we would get to use everal of our favorites.

You would be wrong.

First of all, I want to let everyone know that we won’t be revealing any names until they are born… We don’t want opinions, no matter how well intentioned, on whether people think they are good names or not.

Second of all, I’m disappointed we can’t find a good ‘triplet themed’ set of names. I had Lorna seriously considering “William” and “Theodore” for 2 of the three names until she realized that meant we would be calling them “Bill and Ted”. I could be half-way serious about Alvin, Simon, and Theodore, but Lorna won’t have anything to do with it. And of course, everyone suggests Huey, Dewey, and Louie, or Larry, Moe and Curly. The most obscure reference was Athos, Porthos, and Aramis.

Finding three names has been pretty difficult – we have middle names picked out (those were easy family name choices), but finding three first names that we like and aren’t off limits for some reason has been pretty difficult.

We have 16 days left to decide…

Manny, Moe and Jack????

No Boys Named Sue, please, even if it is my name!! You’re smart not to announce them ahead of time.

Love,

Aunt Suzi

whatever the name are I’m sure we’ll love them…all that matters is they play sports….and don’t have names that will get them beat up!

Check out Nymbler (http://www.nymbler.com/nymbler/find-names.php). I put in Theodore and asked for boy names and got some great ones, like Ambrose, Bradford, Ira, Chester, and Warren.
