Seems kind of lazy to give all the kids Angel as a middle name. She couldn't be bothered to think of individual names.
Unsurprising that this selfish POS has bad taste. Some of the names are individually nice -- I like Caleb, Jonah, and Josiah very much -- but all together these are way too matchy-matchy and self-consciously Old Testament.
These sure are names, I guess. I feel very bad for all the Angels, and for Elijah Mikai and Mikai Angel, for kind of sharing a name. These are names that will be used by real people, but they feel like a collection of dolls.
I do like Josiah and I love Yasmeen. I like Calyssa and Amerah, too, if I'm pronouncing them right (Calyssa like Calista without the t, and Amerah like Amira).
I love the name Angel but reusing it 7 times comes off as pseudo-religious. Makai is fine, I see that it has been used twice.
I like Elijah Makai. Elijah is one of my favorite Biblical names.
Joshua Jacob is a good set. JJ is a cute nickname. I love Jacob and think that Joshua is decent. I prefer the nickname JJ to Josh or Jake.
I like the name Aiden a lot. It's weird that he's the only one with no middle name. I'm guessing that the older kids are from a different man.
I like Arielle.
Caleb Kai is okay as a set. I like both names independently, too.
I like Noah, Isaiah, Jonah, Josiah and Jeremiah. I think she has good taste overall, with the Biblical names in particular. Maybe she called the octuplets Angel because she thinks of them like her little cherubs? I have no clue.I would have done, perhaps:
Aiden Richard
----
Noah Clinton
Maliyah Marie
Isaiah King
Neriyah Haven
Jonah Casimir
Makai Joseph
Josiah Malcolm
Jeremiah Henry
Here is the link to the story.https://www.eonline.com/news/1407683/inside-octomom-nadya-sulemans-family-world-as-a-mom-of-14-kidsThis was actually a person that gave birth to 8 babies at once! They gave her the name Octomom. I think she dropped the ball on the childrens names. But each to their own. I guess she had her reasoning for naming them what she did. It's hard to believe they are 15 now.
I like Elijah, Jacob, and Noah.
You can kind of tell by the names the woman was ... unbalanced, to say the least. I mean, she reuses names and gives the whole set of eight the same Angel as a mn, like they're characters in some sick kind of Sims game.
Uh, that's a lot of interesting names...
I'm going to ignore the middle names for the rating, because I don't really like middle names. Anyways: Elijah- it's alright.
Amerah- can we drop the h?
Joshua- eh.
Aiden- eh.
Calyssa- I have never heard this name before. It's alright.
Caleb- I personally don't like the name Caleb.
Noah- it's alright.
Maliyah- I thought it was Arabic.
Isaiah- this name was always hard to say and spell, but other than that it's alright.
Neriyah- confusing.
Jonah- it's alright.
Makai: it makes me think of the Wagner PMC, not exactly sure why.
Josiah- eh.
Jeremiah- eh. In short, most of them are a 5/10.

Fourteen lost opportunities. She fixates on the names, sounds and syllables that she likes! Lots of J names, and then Elijah Makai; Caleb Kai; Makai Angel ... the biblical names are better than the rest, though I don't particularly like them. Amerah? Maliyah? Neriyah?
Makai is the only octoplet without an a ending and strange they all have the same mn and Aiden has no nnAnd that Makai has been used before

They're very rhymey, repetitive, trendy-religious, and it's weird Aiden doesn't have a middle name.Most of the individual names are ok. Yasmeen, Arielle, Joshua, Elijah, Isaiah, Noah are my favorites. My least favorites are Caleb, Calyssa, Aiden, Jacob, Josiah.
