Mckayla drew the short straw here. Not a huge fan of Grace, either (to me it sounds like the *opposite* of what it actually means). And Emily, while a pretty name, has been rendered milquetoast for me just due to the MANY, MANY people named Emily that I know! Seriously, give it a rest, parents of the world...

But I like Abigail. I know that's not a popular opinion on BtN, but I don't care. I like Abigail.

Very boring. And Mckayla is one ugly name.

Love all the names except Mckayla, don't like it by itself and it really sticks out in this sibset.

I think they all fit go together fine, even though Mckayla is newfangled. They're all totally normal white people names. I think Mckayla would only stick out to namenerds. They're so boring I wanna die, but, like, whatever.

Boring, boring (although Abby at least has some energy), boring, and yuck. I'm not a fan, I actually prefer the UK names (totally not biased or anything).

If you were to ask me which names I would NOT name quadruplet girls, this would be pretty close to my answer. I hate the sound of all of these names, yuck!

I don't understand why they went for solid traditional given names with the first three and then suddenly chose a modern, trendy, surnamey-looking name for the last one. It could have been such a distinguished sibset as a whole, but they had to ruin it with Mckayla. I think that was unwise of them, not only for aesthetic reasons, but also because Mckayla will probably grow up feeling like the odd one out with her more "unusual" name. I feel that what they did is kind of similar to families where the children's names all start with a J- except for the last child, or who all have two middle names except for the last child (who has only one middle name), and so on. I feel like: if you're going to go for a certain theme, then stick with it for the whole ride and not drop it somewhere along the way. Be consistent and thorough with your naming patterns. But well, that's just me, I guess....

I like the combination of super popular names and not so popular names. Good choice, Bethani and Tim!

It was very classically sweet until the end. Barf.

If they'd spelled it Michaela, that would certainly be better, but the name still doesn't fit. It's too strong and artsy and golden-yellow to go with the other 3.

Mckayla sticks out and screams. Emily, Abigail and Grace are bland, safe, default-type girls' names, almost interchangeable in their blandness. Mckayla is a really ugly spelling of a name that I actually like a lot. Makayla or Mikayla would be better, if they didn't want to use the original Michaela, which I think is unattractive even if it is the original.

Mckayla should have been Mary.

Emily is gorgeous. The next two represent wasted opportunities, and Mckayla is a disaster.

I actually prefer the wacky cartoon UK quads over this milquetoast stuff.

I like McKayla spelt Michaela.

Emily -meh
Abigail -meh
Grace -I like it but it's nothing spectacular
Mckayla -hate the name and this is my least favorite spelling

Mckayla is straight up bizarre with the others. I'd expect Claire, Anna, or something similar.

Better than the UK quads recently posted, but boring.
