Two males and one female. My hubby has already suggested Larry, Moe, and Curly (duh), but I would like to avoid that... Any other ideas would be appreciated!

In the back of my head, I keep hearing "Mickey! Donald! Goofy!", from some old Disneyland commercial...

Onyx-- Yeah they're in a huge cockatiel cage, and there is a nest in the cage, along with multiple perches. They were all together in the same cage at the pet store, and I think may have been clutchmates, so I'm not even sure if they will ever mate.

i know you aren't asking for this advice but raising zebra finches is a hobby of mine,just wanted to let you know make sure not to leave both males in with your lone female because when one of the males decides to take a liking to your female and if she decides she likes him back they both will pick on the lone male horribly maybe to the death,they are VERY territorial,even if they don't have a nest when they are ready to mate they will lay eggs just about anywhere,in the seed cup,on the floor of the cage,it doesn't matter to them they are very very resourcefull if they have no nesting material they will use seed hulls,or shred the newspapers on the bottom of the cage,also the males will continuously squabble over the female,there will be constant chasing and feather picking,it is best to seperate the lone male unless you have a really huge cage

Even clutchmates will mate if there is a nest and the babies often come out deformed. I would take the nest out. Even if they are not clutchmates, they will mate and lay eggs with a nest and then you will have to deal with more finches and the cycle begins again.
