They were crucified with him, what were their names? and which one showed remorse?

the repentant thief is called St. Dismas, because he accepted God's will for him on the cross and was sorry for all his sins that got him there, the unrepentant theif is not as well known because he was neither sorry nor repentant for his sins that got him crusified, he rebelled with his punishment and thus he died unrepentant and death brought him his reward which was hell. Our lives can be likened to these 2 on the cross. We can rebell over our crosses and sufferings or we can accept them with patience and resignation to Gods will and thru the cross find our salvation.

I don't believe that the two thieves crucified with Jesus were ever named. The only place in the New Testament, that I can remember offhand to read the account of the two thieves...would be Luke 23.

Barabbas wasn't crucified with Jesus--he was released by Pilate when the crowd chose him instead of Jesus.
The thieves aren't named in any mainstream translation of the Bible that I am aware of--if they have names, those have been given to them either from comparison with other historical accounts or possibly church tradition. They are only referred to as either thieves, robbers or malefactors, and identified as one on his right and one on his left.
You can read the gospel accounts of this event in Matthew 27, Mark 15, Luke 23, and John 19.

They ``thieves``, one on each side of Jesus on the cross were not named. LUKE 23:39-43.
And one of them certainly wasn`t Simeon.
Luke 2:34
And Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary his mother, Behold, this [child] is set for the fall and rising again of many in Israel; and for a sign which shall be spoken against;
If we were to suggest a symbolical arguement then I would prefer Good and Evil because one ``thief`` wished the worst for Jesus even though Jesus did not deserve to die at the cross and the other ``thief`` was good because he saw Jesus to be the Lord and he called upon Jesus to help in recognition of Jesus` power. Also symbolic of Christians calling upon Christ to take them into the after life.
(Anyway this is what I would argue if I were a believer.)

The two thieves crucified on either side of Christ were never named directly (Barabbas was not one of them, they let him go earlier).

The focus should be on Jesus and the fact that one did believe and repented while the other mocked and went to hell. Praise the LORD.

Josh and John. They used to own a Kebab cart up in Tel-Aviv.

None of them were called Dubya that's for sure.....Cos he's not showing any remorse after his despicable decisions.
