I'm not of fan of matching initials...

---

Mine:

---

Gabriel Theodore "Gabe", Dominic Samuel "Nico" & Sebastian Michael "Seb or Bastian"

The names are fine..but I don't like the same initials thing.

---

If I had boy triplets:
Milo Scott, Casey Leo, and Jonas Cole

James Michael is really good! I like Joseph and Joel but not Josiah, and Matthew bores me catatonic. John Mark is trite and staccato; Jonathan Mark would work better in my view.

---

My version: James Michael, Joel Martyn, Jonathan Mark

I love James and John. Josiah seems mismatched. James, John, and Joseph would be lovely though.

Lovely, handson names. :)

I like...

---

Josiah & John Mark

---

But they are super matchy with the same initials...

I wouldn't use James because of its meaning. Keep in mind it's a form of Jacob and God changed Jacob's name to Israel.
Matthew Josiah would be excellent and would flow better than Josiah Matthew.
John Mark... *yawn* been done so many times before... in both En. and Fr. ('cept en francais, it becomes Jean-Marc).

---

Plus, giving them all matching initials could get confusing... Esp. if you wound up w/ mail for J _________ or J.M. ________ and there'd be 3 of 'em. (I used to know a few members of a fam w/ both parents and their 8 kids all having L names... not so brilliant... get a letter for L. ___________ and not sure who it's for).

They're fine names, just a little too matchy for me. Then again, I have an Anna Caroline and would have liked Adam Christopher paired with that. It wasn't intentional. I just happened to like Adam at the same time I was PG with Anna.

I can't imagine how confusing James, Josiah, and John would get, especially if they preferred to be called Jim, Joe, and Jack. Six potential J names to keep straight!

Thinking of their possible nicknames reminds me of four supervisors in a unit I worked in one summer and their tongue-twister names: Jim, Tim, Tom, and Don.

I have nothing against the combinations, but I don't think multiples should share initials. They share enough things just because of being a set.

Too cutesy. Individually, the combinations are very nice. John Mark is my favorite as it reminds me of Jean-Marc.

But together they are too match-y, cutesy. Wouldn't you want to distinguish them more under one roof? I'd go mad.
