Do You Know Interesting Names for the Third (III)?

I know someone who is a "third" and he goes by Tri.

Trey
J.C.
Trevor
Trent
Trip
John Christopher
John Christian

How about Trike? or little john? that would be cute especially if he is a big baby!

I had a friend who's mother saw a name on credits of a Warner Brothers cartoon and named him the name Treg. (sounds like Greg, but with a T) I always thought that would have been a good name for a III.

I've always like Trey. Good luck and congrats to them!

Hi, I went thru this when I was pregnant with my son. My husbands name is Aaron, and he is a jr. We decided on AAA for the baby when he was born...but now that he is 8 months old we call him Bubba. LOL

Didn't see John Boy anywhere.

Don't recommend it, but it's a classic!

Hi M.-

I have a close friend that had a son and her husband was a Jr. also and they named him after her husband but they call him "TREY" because this means III in french.

I knew a third, and he went by Trace (I love that name anyway, even if it wasn't for a third gen name).

My cousins son is a III, he goes by Trey.

I see someone else suggested the name, Trace. I think that is a good one.

There is a family from my hometown and one of the grandmother's (I think the original John's wife) said no more Johns, so they named the third one Sean (French for John). So that is an idea to give him his own identity, but keep the family tadition

I went to school with 2 guys who were the III. They were both called Chip.

Another thought is JC

I have an adult friend known as Trip...he's the III.

Well my husband is the second (II) and we call him Deuce. When my stepson was born they wanted to call him Tripp, but his mom didn't like that. I think it's cute. But anyway we call my husband Deuce, like I said and we call my step-son JC. Their names are John Calvin I, II, and III. We call My father-in-law Jay. I hope this helps!!

When I was a girl I babysat the cutest baby ever for several years...his nickname was Tripper. His real name was Cecil Gevais Edwards III. EVERYONE called him Tripper.

Trey (as a nickname, of course)

I have a friend who's son is the 3rd and we call him Trey

My dad and my granddaddy were both John Caleb. Granddaddy went by his initials, J.C., so that's one idea. When my dad was born, they explained the "junior" thing to one of dad's young cousins. The young cousin tried to say "a little J.C." but it came out "a yiddle JaKEY." That stuck, so dad was Jakey. Depending on what the C stands for, maybe your friends could come up with their own twist ...?

Personally, I would call him what I named him. I go by middle name and I get sick and tired of all "forms" and financial information being first name/middle initial. So, NOTHING has my name that I go by on it.

Hello, I dont know if this will help but in naming my youngest daughter. I combined my Mom's name & my husbands Mom's (middle) name. My Mom Vicky his Ann & came up with Viann for my daughter to be named Courtney Viann!!!!

Trey, Jay, Jai, what is the middle name maybe go by it, Johnson(John's son), JACE...Just some ideas.

Hi, this sounds like someone I know ,My friend is also the 111, and his initials are JCG 111.It did not seem to be a problem for his family, as the 1st was john to friends then dad and grandpa, the 2nd is john to his wife and dad to his kid and the other is grandpa. My friend's name was Joseph so he was called Joey by mom, everyone else called him Joe. He is the only one left so he is still Joe. They could just call their 3rd name sake, JC, and let him decide when he is older what name for school friends to call him. Hope this helps some.

Hi. In keeping with the third theme they could name him Trace and have the sound of the number three but a more traditional spelling. They can also just use Dad's initials and come up with a name all his own. A final thought would be to choose either Dad's first or middle name and give that to the baby as a first or middle name and then a name unique to him. Don't really have any other suggestions other than those. HTH.

I might call him triple john, or triple gary, triple 'his name here'.

I went to school with a guy names John David. So what about John and using his middle name. I love that!

I have a brother who is a III who has always gone by Trip, and my brother-in-law is a III and goes by Trey. We had a family friend who went by Tres. I think they're all pretty cool names.

My nephew was nick-named "Trey" It fit him perfectly.

Chip is one that I have heard several times...you know, like chip off the old block. My son is named after his father, Ryan..so he is Ryan Jr. We call him RJ( and Ryan when we really want to get his attention..he knows both names but goes by RJ) So, that said, what about JJ (John Jr. ohh wait, he is the third..how about JT, John the third?) Just some thoughts! Have fun ~A.~
