What do you think of these triplets?

General Name Discussion

I know these six year old triplets named [name_f]Gabrielle[/name_f], Abigaille and Tabian. [name_f]Gabrielle[/name_f] and Abigaille are identical and Tabian is their fraternal brother. I know it’s none of my business about how they raise their children, but I have to ask your opinions. I feel like none of them have their own identity; and feel like that might effect them more when they grow up.

They go by [name_u]Gabby[/name_u], [name_u]Abby[/name_u] and [name_f]Tabby[/name_f]. And are extremely colour-cordinated. [name_u]Gabby[/name_u] in purple and light blue, [name_u]Abby[/name_u] in red and orange and [name_f]Tabby[/name_f] in dark blue and green. They are also dressed exactly the same. The only exceptions are these:

[name_u]Jean[/name_u]/[name_m]Denim[/name_m] dresses = [name_u]Jean[/name_u]/[name_m]Denim[/name_m] overalls
[name_u]Jean[/name_u]/[name_m]Denim[/name_m] skirts = [name_u]Jean[/name_u]/[name_m]Denim[/name_m] pants/shorts
Coloured skirts = coloured shorts
Hearts/Flowers = Stars
Princesses = Pixar
Kittens = Dinosaurs

I’ve realized that it’s come to the point where she (it’s really only the mother, the father doesn’t seem to care/doesn’t want to get in the way) won’t let them buy clothing that they like if it doesn’t come in the other colours/opposite gender theme. I feel like they’re going to rebel like crazy when they’re older, by taking up completely different senses of styles. I also feel like this could be unhealthy for them. Am I crazy thinking there’s something wrong here?

There are much worse things then common nicknames and clothing…the kids are little and the mother has three to care for, she’s probably doing the best she can for them. As long as she’s not disciplining them physically or denying food, it’s probably best to stay out of it. Almost all kids rebel, and these kids can tagteam her when they’re ready to stick up for themselves. I’m sure they’ll turn out fine.

I agree. Besides, I’ve known quite a few sets of multiples with matchy names and super matchy clothes, and they’ve all ended up fine, all developed their own style, and are definitely no worse for wear. I wouldn’t worry too much, not unless she’s doing something far worse by them.

My mom and her two sisters have matchy names and grew up wearing matchy outfits, and none of them suffered an identity crisis because of it. A mother can put her six-year-old triplets in matchy outfits if she very well pleases.
