I've heard people in Berea call it Silly Threes.
My students loved this
dance when the Berea Festival Dancers visited us and Theresa Lowder called
it.

Another 3-person dance is one I call Innies and
Outie Arches. I don't
know its real name. Katy Tarter German called it at a
family dance years
ago, and I've used it successfully a few times since, especially at family
dances. This dance requires the band being willing to stop the music at
random moments in the B2, though. I suppose you could verbally say "stop"
without stopping the music if the band was adverse to it.

Innie and Outtie Arches
Make lines of three facing CCW around the circle like spokes on a wheel.
Note
your position: If you are between two people in the middle you are an
innie. If you are on the outside of the line you are an outtie.
Hold hands in lines to start.
A1 Promenade in lines of three (counter clockwise). (16)
A2 Circle of three, circle L (8)
Circle of three, circle R (8)
B1 Innies swing the one who (is) _____ (8)
(tallest, curliest hair, youngest, who can stick their stomach out the
farthest,
who can jump the highest, etc… ) (the pretty one... the prettier
one)
Innies swing the other one! (8)
B2 Outties make an arch and all the innies run through all the arches
around
the circle until the music stops. (16)
Outties capture the closest innie to make a new
line.
(Decide who’s going to be the new innie.)
