Message: "Quintuplet Boys" - Behind the Name

Quintuplet Boys

What would you name quintuplet boys? The only rule is that NONE of them may begin with the same letter, and also, none of the middle names may begin with the same letter either (but you can use a letter once for a first and again for a middle).

Mine:

Isaac James
Benjamin Arthur
Samuel Peter
Luke Daniel
Jacob Elias

Man. That same letter rule is going to kill me for the middle names. Ah well, here goes:

Grover Felix
August Matthias
Boaz Ignatius
Zimri Octavian
Winston Leonidas

Hey, that wasn't so hard after all.

As usual, yours are my favorites. I would characterize your style as classic, poetic, unpretentious, and balanced--yet unusual.

Ah, difficult since a lot of my favorites start with the same letters only by coincidence.

Ari Haven Nekoda
Mordecai Zia Storm
Levi Ocean Xolani
Jadon Conor Morpheus

Kind of themed the first names, didn't I? Hm. Oh well.

Evander Jude
Sebastian Grey
Theodore Asher
Harrison Cole
Oliver Soren

I'm weird about all the names having to be the same syllables or around the same amount.

7/15/2011, 1:33 PM

I do that too. If I'm not careful all of my girl combos end up with the same syllables in the middle names.

Evander Jude, Sebastian Grey, Theodore Asher and Oliver Soren are great names.

- agxox

7/15/2011, 1:58 PM

Of yours, I love Isaac James, Samuel Peter and Benjamin Arthur. I don't even like Benjamin, but that combo really is lovely.

Edmund Cypress
Alexander Helios
Francis Evelyn
Vivian Basil
George Raphael

WOW, is it ever difficult to find a middle name for Raphael. I must have looked for 10 minutes before giving up. Or, for that matter, a first name. If I wasn't going to use Edmund I would have gone with Eudes Raphael, which I think is so much more handsome than George.

- lucia bombon +1

7/15/2011, 3:32 PM

I love Edmund, Helios, Francis, Vivian (my mn, and my grandmother's fn, but I like it for a guy, too), Basil and really like George and Raphael. Great list!

7/15/2011, 3:53 PM

- Eilis (Suibhne) +1

7/15/2011, 1:13 PM

This is tough, because I tend to like a lot of R names and two of my very favorite firsts start with K (Karl and Kolo). But in this case I'd go with:

Karl Boris
Robert Douglas
Homer Philip
Stephen Nestor
Peter Roch

Homer is kind of a GP whim. If not Homer it would be Anthony Philip.

- RegalAmethyst

7/15/2011, 1:31 PM

Go with Homer! =) Karl, Robert Douglas (this is an eminently respectable name), Homer Philip, Stephen Nestor (I'm really loving Nestor lately) and Peter Roch are all fabulous. Geez, all of your names are really respectable, in a good way. They make me think of a family of brothers who go get together on weekends to go over the "family finances" or go fishing and have Sunday dinner.

Ha! My old stock Klaus combo is Klaus Basil. I love Peter Loic, Edgar York, Jude and Basil Klaus.

I can't believe I didn't put them together before now lol. They just belong to one another.

They really do. They're both equal parts sharp and stately.

- Llewella (penguiny7) +2

7/15/2011, 3:22 PM

It's my Grandpa's middle name and was also a great-uncle's middle name, although that was what the uncle went by.

- RegalAmethyst +1

7/15/2011, 3:32 PM

It's a family name for me too. My Great Grandfather was Clair.

Yay Clair buddies! :)

- tilltheend (guest)

7/15/2011, 1:13 PM

I love the name Alasdair (or alastor, etc) and meirion is rather beautiful.
