Expecting Quads!!

[Quadsontheway]

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

My faves, for what it's woth:
Cara (means "dear" or "loved")
Xavier
Ava (not Avia - although Avia means bird in latin, it's not a bad name)
Felix (means "happy")
Nova (means "new")
Phoenix

Would you also consider
Alba (means "white")
Alina (means "soother") pronounced Aleena
Anya - a good suggestion from a pp
Carter - a good suggestion from a pp
Indah (for a girl)

Good luck with everything!!!

Frankly, with quads on the way, you're asking for trouble with Anarchy. There'll be plenty of that anyway .

My favourites from your list:
Xanthe
Cara
Jonah
Phoenix.

Or you could try Calm, Peace, Co-operation and Quiet.

Big congratulations, too, what an adventure

@BOFster No they were conceived naturally but my husband is a quad himself and two of his sisters have had triplets so we knew to expect more than one! I love Maverick but I have a cousin with that name and I'm not a fan of reusing family names. I'm having second thoughts about Anarchy in case she did turn out to be quite reserved

Chai is pronounced Ch-ay but with the confusion on just this thread alone on how to say it I'm not going to be using it, I only found it a couple of days ago anyway. I'm still in two minds about Anarchy even though everyone is categorically against it, applying for jobs with that is something I didn't consider at all but I just love the way it sounds with Jessica Ellen, but then again what if she did turn out to be really shy. I think I will end up using it but perhaps as just a middle name so it isn't as detrimental as everyone has assumed it will be. The middle name Nicolette is an adaption of my friend of 13 years name Nicole, she chose that so I don't want it to be exactly the same, although I'm in love with the name Madison Nicole. Even if there is only one girl I will be definitely be using Maddie because I think it's so cute and then when she is older she can go back to Madison if she wanted, just a shame it is so common

Thanks everyone for all your suggestions and opinions, it's good to hear honest opinions as I feel like some of my friends are too scared about offending me while I'm super emotional at the moment haha. @manicinsomniac the KKK thing with Kendall... why have I not realised this sooner?! So glad you mentioned that! What are people's thoughts on using Xanthe Xavier and Phoenix all together? I'd obviously have to think of another name with X in if I can find one I like, not sure if I will definitely do this though because then I wont be able to use Maddie and I'm pretty sure I won't be getting pregnant again just because of the risk of having another 4

How exciting! When are you due?

Sorry, quite forgot the matter in hand!

Girls
Anarchy "Ana" "Annie" Jessica Ellen- not keen, sorry
Avia - I like!
Cara - rather dull, sorry
Emilia Valentina - love Valentina but Amelia and its variants are everywhere.
January "Jani" Nicolette - like January, Nicolette is too porn star
Josslyn - to horsey
Joy-Anna - don't like hypens
Kendall Kate - too American surnamey
Madison "Maddie" - not to my taste
Nova - love it
Rebel - stop your nonsense
Sophia - too popular
Tyler/Tylar - nope, too Hayden/Jayden/Kai
Vienna - porn star
Xanthe - lovely

Boys
Chai - only if it's Che
Daxton -like!
Felix -like!
Gage - sounds like a gauge
Jonah -like!
Jedediah - isn't it Jebediah? Like it if so.
Jeremiah - like!
Kennedy - nope, American surnamey
Palmer - as above, makes me think of wanking
Phoenix - a bit Mel B
Wyatt Jett Everett - love Wyatt, hate Jett
Xavier - fab
Zac - too popular

If this is for real surely you should be worrying about viability rather than names at this stage

Is Carter-Hunt really your surname?

If this is actually true although Cara is a lovely name it doesnt go with the surname

Of course it's unlikely, but it's harmless enough asking opinions on names, isn't it?

Add Blaise to the list for boys and Trinity/Liberty/Serenity for girls (nicer abstract concepts than anarchy!!!)

Congrats btw. Is this for real? If so...get thee to TAMBA quick. They'll offer you loads of advice/support/grants etc.

GOOD LUCK!

I only have half what you're about to get and am about to have a lunchtime schnooze as it is!

It is harmless to ask about names but still strange. Also strange that the father is apparently from a whole family of multiples.

Multiple births (if not by IVF) are either random occurrences (random splitting of embryo into two or more or one-off ovulation of more than one egg) or a tendency to multiple ovulation inherited via the mother. It doesn't matter what sort of sperm you've got, you need more than one egg to be released and fertilised in the same cycle to have more than one baby, so multiple non-idential births tend to run in the maternal line. Sometimes though a man can pass the gene for hyperovulation inherited from his mother onto a daughter who then has a multiple birth so the twins/multiples can appear to skip a generation.

Identical twins don't run in families and a woman who is an identical twin is no more likely to give birth to twins than anyone else.

I may have missed some detail in the posts, but of course I thought it was bollocks from the off (hence my gentle prodding), but I was just treating it as a discussion about bonkers bad taste names really.

But thanks for the explanation, it's very interesting. I don't think you tend to get quads from IVF either these days, for ethical reasons, as the doctors won't allow that many blastocysts to implant because of the increased risks.

OP, would I be right in guessing you watch the Shaytards?

Daxton, Emilia and Avia are all Shaytards kids aren't they? Can't remember their other 2 boys.

If this is real, as a Madison known as Maddy I approve

YY to multiples running on the mothers side (although poss skipping a generation). Multiple (non-identical) pregnancies are conceived due to multiple egg release, sperm doesn't affect that

And Gage is one of the cousins. Other boys are Gavin and Brock.

Odd thread!

And Joy-Anna, Jeremiah and Jedediah are all Duggars. Just saying.

Ah ah ah, Jon & Kate Plus 8 which is now Kate Plus 8, have twins called Maddy and Cara.

Madison Nicole is the full name of Maddie Ziegler, the girl off Dance Moms. Kendall and Sophia have also been on Dance Moms.

It's like playing spot the pop culture reference (although I actually like a lot of the names... not Anarchy and Rebel, but some of the others are nice)... however there are a LOT of 'T's in Wyatt Jett Everett.

Your husband being a multiple and his sisters having muliples has no affect on your ovaries whatsoever.
