Henry William, Leo Michael, and Duncan Vincent
If I had three sons, these^ would probably still be their names.
Themes*:
Phineas James 'Phin', Corduroy Matthew 'Rory', and Theodore Luke 'Theo' ~ vintage
Cedar Michael, Elm Louis, and Aspen Luke ~ trees
Finnegan Jacob, Rory Michael, and Liam Nicholas ~ Irish
Owen Lucas, Maddox James, and Reese William ~ Welsh
Will Thomas, Luke William, and Jack Benjamin ~ common one-syllable
Luke William, Finn Thomas, and Poe Benjamin ~ Star Wars
Otto James, Leo Michael, and Hugo Nicholas ~ ending in -o
*The middle names are just names I like.
Finnegan Luke 'Finn', Frederick James 'Freddie', and Felix Timothy

1. Theodore, Frederick & August
2. Nope.
3. I'd probably use a literature theme: Theodore (Little Women), Frederick (Persuasion) & Emerson (A Room with a View). Or, a Jane Austen theme: Frederick (Persuasion), Henry (Northanger Abbey) & George (Emma).
4. Frederick, Franklin & Felix OR Hadrian, Henry & Hugo

Carter Jace
Colton Ray
Caleb Wade
2. Would you choose different names for your three sons if they were not triplets?
Maybe? I like a lot of boys names.
But I did alliteration in real life with my boys, because I like it and I loved their names. So, probably they would be the same letter.

Connor
Cooper

August
Gregory

3. How would you name your triplets using a theme?
A theme??? Ummm...
Maybe with Biblical middles...
Carter Micah
Colton Mark

4. How would you name your triplets if their first names had to start with the same letter?
Exactly as I did in numbers one and two :)

1. Tristram, Benedict, and Hugo
Tristram Frederick Linus, Benedict Malcolm Louis, & Hugo Edmund John
2. No.
3. Callum, Tristram and Ephraim (all ending in M, which fits nicely with rl kid Adam)
But if that's not thematic enough...
Callum, Hamish, & Fraser (all Scottish FNs)
Callum Joseph Gregory, Hamish Lindsay Clark, Fraser Edmund John
...Actually, I think I like that one better.
4. Malcolm, Mackenzie, and Merritt (maybe?)
Alasdair, Ambrose, and Abram (maybe? Although they sound suspiciously like a bunch of vampires. Hahaha.)

1. How would you name your triplets (all boys)? At this moment, Damian Richard, Evan Sherman, Ronan Douglas
2. Probably, because my tastes would shift over time. Or someone close to me would name their kid one of my favorite names and I wouldn't use it anymore.
3. Damian, Nicholas, Somerled (each name ends with the same letter that another begins with)
4. How would you name your triplets if their first names had to start with the same letter?
Tobin, Thomas, Theo
River, Rory, Ryan
Jesse, Jordan, James
Evan, Emil, Eric
Dean, Dylan, Damian

1) If I had all-boy triplets, I might name them Jack, Riley and Blake.
2) Jack is my top name so if the boys weren't triplets I would probably still use it. However, as individual names, Jack, Riley and Blake are fairly common, I feel the fact they are triplets would set them apart enough. If they weren't triplets, I might be inspired to name Jack's brothers something less common, e.g. Jack, Bellamy and Bridger - if they were singleton brothers, I also wouldn't mind so much about 2 beginning with the same initial.
3) Tate, Quinn and Kaden. [surnames]
Riley, Quinn and Kaden. [Irish]
Bellamy, Cassidy and Tennyson. [outside the Top1000 in England & USA]
Jack, Stark and Blake. [same ending sound]
Jack, Kade and Finn. [1 syllable]
Phoenix, Riley and Sidney. [unisex]
4) Bellamy, Bridger and Blake. OR Sebastian, Sidney and Stark. OR Tennyson, Tobias and Tate.

1. How would you name your triplets (all boys)?
- Today I really love River Elioenai, Jed Israel and Ezra Shepherd.
2. Would you choose different names for your three sons if they were not triplets?
- No, I would just choose names I love.
3. How would you name your triplets using a theme?
- Easy, I’d go with biblical names, since that’s what we have already done and because we love those names.
4. How would you name your triplets if their first names had to start with the same letter?
- So many cool options! I love Abraham, Asher and Amos or Ezra, Ephraim and Eliezer or Joash, Jed and Judah or River, Rex and Rufus or Samuel, Seth and Silas.

August, Micah and Hugo
The first two names would be the same if they were single births, the last may or may not change depending on which day you ask me.
Micah, Thomas and Elijah.
August, Asher and Archie.

Using my current son as one of the triplets, OK?
Peter David Alastair
Ian Victor Conrad
Hugo Daniel Fraser, known as Dan
Same names, regardless.
There is a theme: honouring. The exceptions are Conrad and Hugo, but both are used for their initials. For instance, there was a tradition in DH's family to give an H- name with Daniel as the mn, and use Daniel. Hugo and Hugh are both good names, but Hugh is difficult for some people to pronounce where I live.

1. How would you name your triplets (all boys)?
I'd look at my current top 10 list, then pick 3 names that have about the same amount of syllables + different end sounds.
Horatio Amzi, Salvador Gaius, Dmitri Reuben
2. Would you choose different names for your three sons if they were not triplets?
Probably not on purpose, but my favorites might have changed at the various times they'd be born.
3. How would you name your triplets using a theme?
Dmitri, Artemio, Junius ...other possibilities: Artemas, Heraclio, Atenodor...(masculine form of goddess names)
Absalom, Yaromir, Frederick (peace)
Basil, Fern, Thyme / Yarrow / Coriander (plants) ... if I can cheat a little: Basil, Fernando "Fern", Timaeus "Thyme"
Or Silvio / Cicero, Fabian, Itamar / Oliver ...Garrick, Laurence, Ivar ...(names that refer to plants)
I bet I'd be happy with a Shakespeare theme, but I'd have to put more thought into that.
Dmitri Clover, Artemio Fern, Junius Basil (masculine form of goddess name + plant middle)

Brennan Peregrine
Sylvan Andreas

2. maybe, but I don't know. They're all some of my favorites, but I picked ones I thought would sound good together
3. Tristan Elias, Gareth Edmund, Arthur Henry -Arthurian... no mn theme. If I need one for those... probably Biblical, so:
Tristan Jude, Gareth Asa, Arthur Josiah
4. Tristan Elias, Tobias Henry, Theodore Edmund

Well...
I'd likely name 3 triplet boys; Casper, Adrien and Wilbur
These are just names I like without any real theme other than I do think they sound sibling-like
Its unlikely I will choose different names, especially Casper, but I do have a lot of other names I like and I might change my mind some day. For now, though, I'd name triplets the same as I would name three individual babies.
