Baby names for "famous" multiples

[zebrapanther1311]

Gosselin sextuplets- Alexis faith, Hannah joy, Leah hope, Collin Thomas, Aiden Jonathan, Joel Kevin + older sisters cara Nicole and Madelyn Kate.

Jones quints(quints by surprise on tlc)- Brooklyn faith, Britton Grace, Jack William, Lila Addison, Ryan Elizabeth +older sister Elliot McKenna

Octuplets- Noah, Maliyah, Isaiah, Nariyah, Jonah, Makai, Josiah, and Jeremiah...all with the middle name angel.

Thoughts?

Gosselin sextuplets - actually all really nice, normal names. Loathe the name Aiden though.

Jones quints - Jack and Lila are the only two that didn't get screwed over with their first names. Let's not forget the other daughter, Elliot. (barf)

Octuplets - Noah is the only name I don't loathe on the list, including the ever creative same middle name across the board.

I like Leah and Joel. Love Lila and I don't hate Noah or Isaiah though I do hate the same middle name thing.

The Gosselin's get my vote for the best of them

The Gosselin's names are fine, although I find the MN set for the girls Faith, Joy and Hope a little cheesy.

Jones: Jack and Lila are the only ones that are ok.

Octuplets: Noah, Isiah, and Jonah are all ok. Jonah is actually a guilty pleasure name of mine since it doesn't go with the MN we are 100% using for a boy. The rest are pretty horrible. I dislike Angel as a mn let alone using it for all of them.

Don't forget the McCaughey septuplets (born in 1997): Kenneth Robert, Alexis May, Natalie Sue, Kelsey Ann, Nathan Roy, Brandon James, Joel Steven

Interesting how 2 of the McCaughey kids have the same name as 2 of the gosselin kids!

I like the Gosselin kids' names fairly well, though I'm not wild about Alexis or Cara.
The Jones kids, I agree that Jack and Lila totally scored compare to their sibs.
Of the octuplets, I like Noah, Isaiah, Jonah, Josiah and Jeremiah; not a fan of the other names or the shared MN.

I just want to say that is I was going to be the mother of multiples I would have a hard time with names. I mean how long does it take these parents to name each child!?

It took us forever to name "just" twin boys; we didn't settle on their names till we were driving to the hospital for my induction! I can't imagine if we'd had higher order multiples. (Girls would have been easier, at least.)

Please note that the Gosselin name is spelled Aaden. Awful.

For us, naming twins wasn't as bad as I thought. We had our girl name (Ashley Rose) set in stone a week after our BFP but couldn't decide on a second girl name or any boy names (we did IVF with 2 embryos transferred, so we knew twins was a possibility). We waited until we found out both were girls before going back to the names because we just couldn't agree on anything.  We agreed on a second girl name (Samantha Lynn), only for my mother to mention a different first name (Kayla), which DH loved. So we scrapped that name and went with Kayla Dawn (we didn't like how Lynn paired with it and both loved Dawn).  All in all, we discussed names only a handful of times.

Yeah, even from early on DH and I found a lot more girl names we could agree on than boy names. If our twins had been girls I think we could have decided months earlier rather than getting down to the wire.

The only boy name we could agree on was Thomas for a first name. We would have been in big trouble if our girls had been boys. Funny thing is, there are way more boy names that I love than girl names. Dh just doesn't like the ones I do!

The Gosselin names don't bother me nothing really jumps out to me.  I actually like that she tied the middle names to the girls but she didn't do that with the boys so what was the point? 

The Jones names I like the girls names they are a bit different but it's not like they won't be able to get jobs or anything and I have definitely witnessed worse.  Actually Ryan and Elliot probably will always get an interview over the other girls lol!  But not my style.....

The Octuplets- Nice biblical names for the boys and the girl's names are okay but again not my style and I hate that they all have the same mn....lame

I actually think the boys names do tie together. Jonathan is the dad's name and I know Kevin is the name of a close relative(Kate's brother I believe). Assuming Thomas is a family name, I think they are tied together well.
