Help[Opinions] Re: Names for triplet boys.
in reply to a message by Distant_Stars
Sorry, but they are dreadful to me. Individually, they are chronically dated. Would you want to be an image-conscious teenage boy, introducing himself to his peers as Hubert, Herbert or Humbert? I think not. It'd be very inconsiderate to saddle a child with such a name. And for triplets, they're much too similar.
Hubert is the best of the three, but I do not like it at all. Humbert it the worst. Apart from anything else, where I live, something that "hums", smells.

While they are dated...
That won't necessarily kill the image of the kid behind the name. I know a boy named Huber (even worse than Hubert, IMO) who's done just fine, name be damned. He's also an utter redneck, but that's really not the point, heh.

Hmm, you're perhaps right :-) I just envision a new kid named Humbert coming into my (relatively nice, suburban) high school, and I just know his name would've had us in stitches. Once they knew him as a person, yes, people would've got over it. But better to give the kid an easy ride from the get-go by avoiding such names, imo.
