In Christian tradition, Saint Dismas (sometimes spelled Dysmas or only Dimas, or even Dumas), also known as the Good Thief or the Penitent Thief, is the "good thief" described in the Gospel of Luke. This unnamed thief, crucified alongside Jesus, repents of his sins, and asks Jesus to remember him in his kingdom. The name Dismas for this thief dates back to the 12th century, and various traditions have assigned him other names. Gestas, also spelled Gesmas, is the apocryphal name (first appearing in the Gospel of Nicodemus) given to one of the two thieves who was crucified alongside Jesus. According to legend, Gestas taunted Jesus about not saving himself, while Dismas asked for mercy. Dismas was saved, and Gestas was not.
The two criminals crucified alongside Jesus were known as the "two thieves" or "two robbers" in some translations of The Bible.
The Bible does not specifically mention the identity of the person on the fourth cross at Golgotha. It is traditionally believed that the three crosses were for Jesus and the two criminals who were crucified alongside him.

There is a limestone ridge where Jerusalem was built. It is called Mount Moriah. This is the same place were Abraham was going to sacrifice Isaac many, many years before, long before Jerusalem was built. The Temple mount and Calvary where Jesus was crucified on is this same mountain (Jerusalem is 2,550 feet altitude). At the time of the crucifixion Calvary was out side the city wall.
Last names did not come into use until the 13th century after Christ, and were not common until the 17th century. Our Blessed Lady was born in the first century Before Christ - many centuries before last names came into existence, in other words, she had none, but would have been known as Mary, Daughter of Anne and Joachim.
You just know they had to have done something bad enough that got them crucified...But it doesn't say their names or where they're from. I believe the good thief was named "Dismas". I don't think it's in the bible but for some reason the name Dismas was given.
The scriptures only give reference to two thieves who were crucifies along side Christ. This was done so that the answer to one of the thieves could be know by all. That of there being different degrees of glory in heaven to which all mankind will be asigned to one.
There is no evidence about how Peter died. According to legend, he was crucified by Nero. He requested to be crucified upside down because he did not deserve to be crucified in the same manner as the Christ. If he was crucified, it would seem reasonable that nails were used.

Some say that they could have been with Barabbas in his crime spree that landed them in prison and Crucifixion as usually only the most dangerous of criminals were crucified.One of these men repented while on the cross and accepted Jesus as his Savior.Answer /Dysmas and Gestas - from The Narrative of Joseph of Arimathaea and The Acts of Pilate.

The Bible doesn't provide specific names, but there was a thief and a murderer.
We do not know the names of the two men, only that they were thieves. This is because what is important is not who they were, but how they acted when presented with the Son of God. One begged for forgiveness (and was granted it) and the other mocked Him.
