[Opinions] Triplets
Jimmy Jensen and Jaxson are identical triplets who appeared in today’s newspaper.I’m not a fan of any of the names but I guess Jimmy isn’t too bad. I have however always preferred the full name James and if a nn has to be used then Jamie. WDYT?There were triplets in my own family too Prince who was known as Peter Paul and Pauline. I’m not a fan of any of the names in my family either. WDYT?

So two Johns and a James, ok.
Parents didn't really think that one through.

I don't like any of those names tbh and like to imagine I would be more creative in such a situation as those parents. James NN Jamie is something I like though, Jimmy is just unappealing to me. Same initials on multiples is just cruel imo they aren't a unit and should be respected as individuals.As a teenager I competed in cross country against 2 of 3 triplets on another team (the 3rd didn't like running). The 2 I ran against were Rose and Brittany and the 3rds name escapes me but It was definitely a "90s" name like Heather, Monica or similar.There is a youtube channel I watch occasionally with quintuplets and the 3 girls of it are called Daisy, Lily and Violet. A little too cutesy for my taste but I like it fine.

I hope the triplets have got mns with different initials.Jimmy is OK but only as a nn, and even there I prefer Jim; perhaps the parents thought that Jamie has been too popular and went for a more uncommon version. And I know a James in his early 40s who is never called anything else.
I really wish people would learn how to spell Jackson, and then stop using it. John would probably remain John nowadays, but naming a kid Jack would be way better than Jaxson.
Jensen ... motor-racing fans, I wonder? I like Jens, but only with the Danish pronunciation.Prince is weird as a given name. I named my son Peter, and it's worked well for him. I also quite like Paul, though there are lots of names I'd rather use. Pauline is too much with Paul, and I don't enjoy many -ine names: Justine is about the best.If I had boy triplets with J initials, they'd be James, Joseph (Joe) and I guess John, which is a family name. And if I had bbg triplets with P initials, they'd be Peter, Paul and either Penelope or Pamela. Maybe I'd better have quads.

Poor Jimmy should have been Jimson, Jamson, Jayson, Justyn, Judson, but I really don't like siblings with the same initial and 2 of these with the same ending And Paul and Pauline wow too close
