Re: Canadian Quadruplets
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....
