Expecting Quads!!

Quadsontheway · 17/09/2014 00:05

I'm currently expecting quads at the moment but I'm yet to find out the genders so I am short listing from these names, I'm aware that some of them are quite unusual but I don't want them to be one of 4 kids in the same class with the same name. I'm open to all honest opinions before I choose the final 4:

Girls
Anarchy "Ana" "Annie" Jessica Ellen
Avia
Cara
Emilia Valentina
January "Jani" Nicolette
Josslyn
Joy-Anna
Kendall Kate
Madison "Maddie"
Nova
Rebel
Sophia
Tyler/Tylar
Vienna
Xanthe

Boys
Chai
Daxton
Felix
Gage
Jonah
Jedediah
Jeremiah
Kennedy
Palmer
Phoenix
Wyatt Jett Everett
Xavier
Zac

all the names need to flow with our surname Carter-Hunt

I know this is a zombie thread but…

I thought it was obvious from the first post that this thread was dreamed up by some baby-dreamer teen girl who watched too much TLC/discovery home and health and daydreamed a lot about her future family. I was like that as a teen, had lists of potential baby names 😂. Would be so funny if the OP ever came back and said what she named her real DC if she went on to have any.

ZOMBIE THREAD!!!

Daisybuttercup12345 · 19/11/2024 22:12

Joy - Anna. Sounds like Joanna.
Some of these names - Anarchy/Rebel/Danger are ridiculous for a human being. Rebel could be a dogs name though.
You may do just as well to go a few generations back Susan, Jane, Martin, Nigel. There won't be 4 of those in a class.
I would have Xanthe, Emily, Nicola and either Kate or Jessica.
Max, Jasper, Edison and Zachary.

Love Vienna and Nova for girls!
Love Jeremiah, Xavier and Phoenix!

stormwarrierridesthewaves · 18/11/2024 11:21

I'm not sure about boys names, but if you were having four girls l like either of these combinations from your list.

Emilia, Cara, Madison and Sophia.

Or

Josslyn, Nova, Vienna and Xanthe.

Congratulations. How amazing.

Anarchy "Ana" "Annie" Jessica Ellen, please no, don't like it at all.
Avia, sorry makes we think of Aviva! (Pensions)
Cara Lovely
Kendall Kate Lovely
Madison "Maddie" Lovely
Rebel Not keen!

Tyler/Tylar Maybe but what is the more regular spelling, unusual spellings are a pain for kids and adults
Vienna Sorry I am too old and think of Rigsby's cat!

Chai I think of tea
Gage Don't like it.
Jonah lovely
Jedediah maybe
Zac

Good luck.

These quadruplets are TEN now

Definate no’s - Anarchy, Avia, Tyler, Rebel (tho would make a great middle name or maybe a nickname for Rebecca), Palmer

lovely - Nova, Cara, Emilia, Sophia, Vienna, Xanthe (one of my fave names ever!), Felix, Xavier (with Xav for short), Phoenix, Gage,

other suggestions - Vada, Noa, Nuala, Alba, Seth,

TessOfTheFurbyvilles · 24/09/2014 11:34

Four boys surely must be named Huey, Dewey, Louie and Phooey?!

LittleBairn · 24/09/2014 08:42

I think the poster watches too many YouTube families there are at least 3/4 set of names that would suggest it. Along with the Duggars and Kate plus 8.
Maybe pick a baby name book instead.

MrsPatMustard · 23/09/2014 21:24

Round our way Rebel is a common name for a dog - usually a large intimidating dog like Rottweilers. Please don't call your child Rebel...

DogCalledRudis · 23/09/2014 15:10

Anarchy? WOW...
But what if she grows up to be a tory voter?

SouthernComforts · 23/09/2014 10:12

Lolz. Good effort OP.

I'd go for Anarchy, Rebel, Chaos and Maverick. Az, Raz, Chaz and Maz as nn.

Linguaphile · 23/09/2014 09:59

Yes, I've read that too Cheerful. However, identical quads are ridiculously rare. Like, there are only about 60 known sets in the world (among a population of around 7 billion)...

DinoSnores · 21/09/2014 17:34

onedrop, that thread came across as fairly realistic, but was deleted because a couple of people told the OP she wasn't allowed to have any sort of nervous excitement but instead should be terrified of having quads.

moxon · 21/09/2014 03:05

squeak oooooh Hades! Wink
op I like the idea of cities as names but Vienna will end up being called sausage or something. Berlin would work better (female character in a kevin spacey movie).

FarelyKnuts · 21/09/2014 01:33

totally misses point of thread and ignores the possibility it is somewhat unlikely to be true Just to point out to whoever it it was that suggested Oisín and said it sounds like ocean, it really doesn't. It is pronounced much more like O sheen not o shun.

CheerfulYank · 21/09/2014 01:18

Actually I've read a study/article that theorized identical multiples can be passed through the father...something about egg splitting enzymes in sperm?

ByeByeButterfly · 21/09/2014 01:18

I often thought about that too actually as twins run in both sides of our families.

However apparently it's only the mothers genes that play a part in whether there is a multiple pregnancy and then the genders of those multiples is chosen by the father xy and xx obviously.

But I don't like to tell someone they are lying or unbelievable, it doesn't feel right.

Of course they would be in any part of the world, so in that case there is a chance...

Who knows.

My opinions on names still stand.

Onedropoflove · 21/09/2014 01:01

There was someone afew weeks back who just found out she was expecting quads but the thread got deleted for some reason.
