Names for quadruplets?

Question

Hi my friend and her husband are expecting quadruplets and asked me to ask y'all if you like the names they picked out or suggest other A names, here they are.
Abigail
Annabel
Adam
Aiden
Thanks. : )

Answer 1

Just wondering why they all have to start with the letter "A". Just so they have the same initial? Let them have some kind of individuality. Reminds me of the Dugger family with the 16 kids, all starting with the letter "J".

Answer 2

Separately, I think Abigail and Annabel are lovely, Adam a classic choice, and "Aiden" a misspelling of a popular name (though Aidan is great, popularity aside).

Together, however, they're horrid, to put it bluntly. Abigail and Annabel sound nearly identical, especially when not particularly enunciated (say, when calling four children to dinner LOL). Adam and Aidan also sound much too similar for me, personally. And the cheesy A theme in general is, simply put, matchy, anti-individualist overkill. If they're truly having quadruplets, I seriously doubt they've thought these through. Twins are compared often enough. Triplets, even more so. Wouldn't they assume FOUR children sharing a womb, room, clothing, parents, etc. might want just a little individuality. That's just poor planning, in my opinion, and greatly doing the children a disservice. I'd pick the ONE A name they like best, then find three other names -- beginning with one of the other available letters! -- that they love equally for the rest! Hope that helps.

Answer 3

I disagree and think Adam is the least used out of the four.
Other A suggestions would be:
Adelaide, Adelheid (Heidi), Annie, Andrew, August, Alexander
I like Abigail, Adam and Aidan (spelled AidAn, there is no such name as Aiden, its mispelled and looks like the parents were not educated enough to look up the correct spelling of their son's name). I dislike Annabel and all other variations. In its place, I would put Alexis or Annie.

Answer 4

Wow, four babies! And most of us are challenged to come up with one name.

Personally, I'd never choose the same letter to start all the names. Too confusing, and since they're already going to share so much, it seems like they ought to at least get their own initial.

I imagine they'll call the girls Abby and Annie, which are close but not impossibly so. Those boys' names, on the other hand - Adam and Aiden - they're very, very similar.

Maybe:

Adam and Anthony
Adam and Alex
Adam and August

Or, simply give one of the boys a "J" middle name and call him AJ.

Answer 5

Boys
Austin James
Aaron John
Addison Brice
Adrian Lee
Girls
Aubrey Lynn
Ariana Grace
Alyssa May
Audrey Claire
tell them congratulations

Answer 6

I think that these are all great names. Everyone will give there opion as to not naming all the children with the same initial, but in all honesty, thats there children and should feel free to do so if they like that after all they will be the ones buying diapers, formula, clothes and so on, so if thats what makes them happy Go for it!! . I personally think that its cute! I especially like the name Aiden. I wish them the very best and will keep them in my prayers for a healthy delivery! Take Care.

Answer 7

Bad names because they all start with A. Unless you want them too it's not good because they might be bullied in the future for the whole family having names like that. It's good to pick names from your own culture, I mean friend's culture. That way the children can have a sense of pride of being that culture or country.

Answer 8

Oh goodness, please tell them they should not pick matching names. The kids are already going to be in the same grade, already going to look alike, and already going to share experiences- let them have their own name. My friend had twins (b/g) and was going to choose Anna and Adam for the names- but she fortunately chose non-matching names. (Adam and Christine)

Now that my rant's over...I'll answer your question. :) Abby, Annabel and Adam are all great names- but I don't like the spelling of Annabel or the name Aidan. I'd prefer Annabelle instead of Annabel, and Aidan has become too popular lately. Instead of Aidan, how about:
Aaron
Abraham
Adan
Alexander
Albert
Alan
Alijah
Andrew
Aubrey
Ashton
Austin

Good luck to you and your friend!

And yeesh, whats up with the thumbs-downs to everybody? Nobody insulted your name choices, everybody just stated their opinion, right?

Which is what you asked for, right? Not just approval?

And wishmaster seems right, actually.
