Meredith: It’s a nice and usable name.
Philomena: Love this name. A breath of fresh air.
Evangeline: Beautiful. Loved this as well for a long time.
Gideon: It’s interesting. I can see the appeal.
Elliot: Better than Elliott. It’s like how I feel about Scarlet, it’s a nice name, but I prefer this spelling.

I have seen them on TikTok. They are super cute!If I had quints, in addition to my daughter Pearl, I would name 2 boys Henry and George. And two girls Rose and Beatrice. The third girl would be more difficult. I like Clementine but I think Josephine fits better with the other names in the set.

I think they did pretty well. I don’t love all the names, but they are solid, and not ridiculously matchy matchy. Sylvie Marigold

I prefer Meredith on a man, though preferably still with the English pronunciation. It's briny and dashing.
Philomena is solid, staunchly Catholic, but with a songbird quality.
Evangeline is a bit... Evangelical, for my liking, but it's charming and expressive.
I like Gideon very much. It feels classical, but discreet.
Elliot is sheeny, well-groomed, elegant, and just a bit glib. I prefer the Eliot spelling.I'll go with:Sophronia Josephine
Artemisia Beatrice
Theodora Caroline
Erasmus Raphael
Ptolemy Gideon

That’s so sad. I really don’t love any of the names, but Gideon and Elliot are nice, solid, handsome names. Hmm…

Those names go really well together. The parents have refined taste. I'm sorry for their loss though. That's awful.
I used to not like Meredith, it sounded snooty and elderly. But it's grown on me. It's pretty cool that it used to be predominately male. I hope that one day it will be common on guys again. It's also pretty for a girl!
Philomena: I'm not crazy about it.
Evangeline: It used to sound nasal to me, but I like it more now. Despite it's popularity in the US, I've never met a single person with the name. it makes it seem more special.
Gideon: I really don't like the 'giddy' sound.
Elliot: I love, love, love this name. But I'd spell it Elliott. Two Ts.I might name quintuplets:
Louisa
Araminta
Dalia
Coy
LutherorNate
Esmond
Linden
Isadora
Antonia
