Leap year quadruplets
I came across an article about all boy quadruplets born in 2012, who are celebrating their 3rd ‘proper’ birthday this year since it’s a leap year! Their names are: Reuben, Samuel, Zachary and Joshua. What do you think of these names?
How would you do this set if
1. You had to use the same initials?
2. You had to use all Biblical names?
:)

I like all of them except for Rueben.
1. Sheridan, Seth, Stone, and Sebastian.
2. Jacob "Jake", Elijah "Eli", Nathan "Nate", and Tobias "Toby".
These prompts were hard... I ended up with names that are all very different for #2.
Zachary is one of my most favorite boy names; I love it to bits! I also really enjoy Samuel, finding it a very handsome, attractive name for a man. I don't hate Joshua and Reuben, but I'd use a different name instead.1. Raymond, Samuel, Zachary, and Jonathan2. Zachary, Jonathan, Ezekiel, and Philip.
I strongly dislike all those names except for Zachary which is okayRemington, Sage, Zeke and Jameson? The letter Z makes it difficult! I’d prefer Ezekiel “Zeke”. Noah, Benjamin, Caleb and Jesse (might be a tad plain) or being more adventurous (but probably too religious for an atheist) Amos, Elisha, Jericho and Titus

Great names, I'd just keep those names
I LOVE that set! Biblical names are obviously my thing, since all my kids have Biblical names. I’ve thought of using Reuben with 3 out of 4 of our boys and our most recent son was either going to be Reuben or Gideon, but ultimately he was a Gideon.Same initials:
Reuben, Silas, Zephaniah and JedAll Biblical:
Malachi, Ephraim, Asher and Boaz

I like all of them except Zachary - it's just more dated/less interesting than the others (Zachariah or Zachael would be more interesting).1. Rhys, Sebastian, Zenon, Jai.2. Asher, Ezekiel "Zeke", Noah, Cyrus.
Interesting! Reuben sounds older than the others.1. Same initials
Ronan, Silvio, Zephyr, Jorah 2. Biblical
Gabriel Silvanus, Matthias Raphael, Isaiah Gideon, Nathan Lucius

I think the four Quad names complement each other very well.Same initials- Roland Silas, Zane & Jude.Biblical - Gabriel, Tobias, Ethan & Jacob.
The names are fine. I like Reuben (but prefer Reuven).1. Rollo, Sufyan, Zimri, and Jerome
2. Naphtali, Zebulun, Azazel, and Ishvi
I love Samuel. The other three names are nice enough if not my style. If I had to use the same initials:
Russell, Solomon, Zachariah, and JacobZ and J were hard.If I had to make them all Biblical I guess I only have to change Russell... Reuel, I suppose.
Famous sib set.
1. Not sure I'd bother changing them. Maybe as a secondary list Robert, Sean, Zane, Jeremy.
2. Peter, Aaron, Daniel, Jonathan
Of the above I like Reuben best.Same initials:Rivaldo, Scholar, Zeus, Jean-Pierre
Biblical:Bartholomew, Erastus, Ishmerai, Nicodemus
Those are great names! Joshua is one of my favorite boy names, and Reuben has piqued my interest recently. Both Samuel and Zachary have been on my PNL, though I did remove Zachary recently in favor of Zaccai and Zakaria.1. Rowan, Sylas, Zaccai, and Jasper
2. David, Isaiah, Asher, and Jabez
Richard
Simon
Zephyr
James
Simeon
Alphaeus
Nehemiah
Judah
I like the names of all the brothers and none of them are too similar.
Quadruples (four babies) born on a leap year, that happens every fourth (4th) year. I find that coincidence both amazing and incredible. Anyway...Here's my set:
Rufus, Samson, Zacharias, and, Jethro.
