Quadruplets
I know I posted a message yesterday about this but I was wondering - what would you name Quadruplets? Would you use a theme or give them completely different names?
You can do any combination of girls/boys.

I only have satisfactory combos for two boys and three girls, so the other ones aren't that thought through ... There is some themey stuff, but they're things I would do for any siblings, not just quads.

I don't think I would use a theme, just names that I like together, although themes might be fun.

The only change I would do is to switch Noah with Sebastian. Noah is my #1 boys name, but the with Sebastian all the names are similar in length and has a nickname. Other than that, I'd name them exactly what I would name any other kids, quads or no quads.
Boys:
Alexander Kjell Noah "Alex"
William Per Maximilian "Liam"
Theodore Kieran Felix "Theo"
Sebastian Leo Vilhelm "Sebbe / Seb / Bastian"
Girls:
Alice Anna Seraphina
Nova Britt Isadora
Ebba Olivia Emmeline
Stella Camilla Elvira
The first MN is honoring, except from Theodore's combo where Theodore is the honoring name.

I absolutely would not use a theme, unless you consider a "style" a theme.
I would go with:
Henry Robert
Jude Nathaniel
Amelia Josephine
Eleanor Susannah
or
Henry Robert
Jude Nathaniel
Jack Allen
Atticus Joshua
or
Amelia Josephine
Eleanor Susannah
Isabel Louisa
Ada Jillian
or
some other combo using the above names. They honor family but also use names I like.

I would give them completely different names. I'm all over the place with my top names at the moment but today I would name them:
Juliet Minerva
Hugo Alexander
Veronica June
Nadia Esme
IRL I would prefer more boys than girls, but I can't decide if I like any boys names enough to put them in. Life's woes, I love girls names more but I'd rather actually have boys. Whatever would I name them?
There is a small trend in that Minerva, June and Esme are all 'old lady' (Harry Potter, my grandmother and my elderly neighbour's names)

I also prefer to have more boys than girls. I do also find it easier to find girls names I like enough to use than I do for boys.
I'll do an all boys set & an all girls, because b/b/b/g , b/b/g/g, b/g/g/g would just be various combinations of these names... * are honoring...

Hmmm....... I'm gonna do two boys and two girls, that's easiest.
My top two girl combos have not changed: Amelia Ruth and Rebekkah Lynn. For boys: Anthony Josiah and Matthew Cole. There's a slight theme here: One name in each combo is Biblical.

All girls:
Xanthe Opal Esther
Sylvie Rowan Delphine
Eirlys Afton Reverie "Aerie"
Élodie Carys Emmeline
All boys:
Oskar Felix Matthias
August Malachi Noah "Gus"
Grover Levi Ignatius
Schuyler Patrick Ezra "Schuy"
A combination:
From the above combos in order they are listed eg 3 boys 1 girl would be Oskar, August, Grover & Xanthe etc.

Fair enough! I just love the meaning of Noah :)
The 3 name thing was kind of an accident- I was searching for the perfect Xanthe combo (my favourite girls name of 8+ years) and I hit upon Xanthe Opal Esther as a way to honor both of my grandmas. It was too prefect, and I couldn't bear to break it up over two girls names, but now all my combos have 2 mns because it would bug me to have it uneven. Doesn't bug me for anyone else's kids, but it would for mine. So, 3 name combos it is!
Thanks :)

Wow
Looking at the comments for Xanthe is amusing. Have you seen the disagreement of the pronunciation? It goes from Zan-thee to shawn-tay.
On a related note, does anyone find it annoying when someone uses the argument, "It's my name so I should know how it's pronounced"?

I think, "It's MY name, so I should know how it's spelled" is worse, especially if that person has a yoo-neek spelling and insists up and down that their way is the "right" way. UGH.
Definitely! If its you're name, you might know how YOU pronounce it, but not necessarily how it is supposed to be pronounced. Just because your parents choose the name doesn't mean they are an expert in it, and parents often get the spelling our pronunciation wrong! R

Exactly! If you're pronouncing your name shawn-tay, that just means your parents had no idea how to pronounce it "correctly" and you're just carrying on the wrong way!
I love your naming style! It's so fanciful.
Thanks! I like that way of describing it. I usually go with "eclectic as hell" or "all over the place"!
