What would you name quints (2 boys) (3 girls)?

Just for fun. I occasionally watch an adorable YouTube family who have quint babies, they are called: Daisy, Violet, Lily, Logan and Lincoln.
Imagine for a terrifying moment that you birth five at once! What would you call them?

Very good points @BackforGood.

I just asked my 3 year old nephew what he would call them: Batman, Spider-Man, IronMan, Elsie 1 and Elsie 2 (his sister’s name) 🤔😂 hmmmm ok!

5 at once, Shock I'd 100% give them each a different initial (imagine birthday cards!). there will be zillions of times when you want to label things to differentiate them.
I'd also go for short names (imagine how many forms you have to fill out every time you go to the dentist, or when they start school / swimming lessons / cubs / whatever.
I'd also definitely not choose anything too "youneek". The poor soles are going to be know as 'the quintuplets' and talked about every day of their lives, wherever they go. Give them one little part of themselves that means they can just melt into incognito a little bit.

@BernadetteRostankowskiWolowitz

OP I watch their vlogs too - adorable children.

I'd go for (factoring in matching my current dc names):-

Owen
Dexter
Freya
Juliet (Jools)
Ruth

They are adorable children! The vlogs are called ‘five 2 love’ if anyone’s interested in seeing these beautiful 5 (they also have 2 older boys). I get my baby fix there and then am grateful that they have all that crazy going on in their house and I can switch it off!
