Names from "Jon & Kate Plus 8" [Sextuplets and Twins!]

I'm pretty sure no one has posted this before.
I was watching a TV show about a Pennsylvania couple, Jon and Kate Gosselin, who have 6-year old twins and 3-year old sextuplets.http://www.sixgosselins.com/Home_Page.php
PS .. they're sooo cute!
The twins: Cara Nicole and Madelyn Kate 'Mady'
The sextuplets (I didn't get middle names): Aaden, Collin, Joel, Alexis, Hannah and Leah.The show is on Discovery Healthy and sometimes on TLC. The kids all have distinct personalities and are so fun to watch. They go on different adventures such as shopping, vacation to a friend's house, and the mom, dad, and two oldest go to California and other fun places.

Hannah, Leah and Joel are lovely. Why didn't Aadan, Collin (borderline, I suppose) and Madelyn get correctly spelled names?

Collin and Madelyn are acceptable variations. They're not misspellings.

"The kids all have distinct personalities"Um, why is this remarkable? They're all individual people, no?I like Cara, Kate, Hannah and Leah.

Okay ..I didn't mean for it to be like it was some astonishing feat. In the episodes (that I've seen, at least) the sextuplets are all young, probably in their early to middle two's. I just thought it was fun to see how different they all were.

Cara Nicole - love Cara! Nicole goes very nice with it.
Madelyn Kate 'Mady' - I always thought her name was just plain Mady. Nice to see it's Madelyn, seems more complete! I like this better than Madeline (though not as much as Madeleine)
Aaden - prefer Aidan, but I don't consider this a 'misspelling'. I like it more than Aidyn or Ayden or even Aiden!
Collin - prefer this spelling over Colin, but I still don't like something about this name.
Joel - don't particularly like it.
Alexis - very, very cute. Though I prefer Alexandra for girls and Alexis for boys.
Hannah - prefer spelling Hanna. Don't really like the name in general though.
Leah - too cutesy and boring.

I'm just glad it's not me.I've seen the work needed for triplets...don't want to even imagine the work needed for sextuplets. I also feel terrible for poor Aadan and Madalynn - is it really necessary to misspell names?The rest, save Leah and Cara, are nmsaa.

Actually, it's Madelyn, which is not a misspelling.

Well, it sort of isMadelyn is just the spelling parents use because they don't want their daughter to be called MAD-eh-line, which is the most logical pronunciation of Madeline. It is pretty much misspelled.

Madelyn has been on the top 1000 list since 1893. If it's a misspelling, then it's one with plenty of history.Array (doesn't get why parents using a well-accepted variation to make pronunciation clear is a bad thing)

Oooh, good point (m) (edited)Thanks for letting me know. However, just because something has been in use for a long time doesn't make it legit. Clinton has been in the top 1000 since 1900. It's still a surname.
