[Opinions] Large Australian IVF family (2 sets of quads)

A Queensland family now has eleven children under seven, after the mum of nine gave birth to twins last week.

Parents Darren and Dale (f) have:
Shelby (f) - 6

5-year-old quads:
Emma
Ellie
Samuel
Joseph

4-year-old quads:
Sarah
Alice
Matthew
Milly (in heaven)

Tiger-Lilly - 2

+ the newborn b/g twins.

WDYT? I wonder if their naming style for the new babies will be in line with Tiger-Lilly? Personally I love Tigerlily; it's a huge GP. I find their other choices nice but a little boring, except for Alice and Milly. Anyway, best of luck to them with all the littlies running around.

Tiger Lilly seems really out of place with all the average Joe types. What were they thinking of, Peter Pan? It's not exactly hideous, but it sounds more like a cute nickname than an actual one. That's... a lot of young kids. I smell a child called Migraine sometime in the future.

Tiger-Lily really stands out, and not in a good way. :/ Of their other names, I like Emma (even if it is overused), Ellie, Samuel, Joseph, and Milly (love this!).

Hmm their naming style strikes me as a little all over the place lol I wouldn't expect Alice to have sisters named Tiger-Lilly and Shelby. But I do love Alice, Samuel and Joseph and Milly is very sweet. I don't particularly love Ellie or Emma, but I have secretly like Shelby ever since I saw Steel Magnolias :P

I've heard of this family, didn't know they were expecting another set of twins though! 11 children!

Tigerlily really sticks out among the other names. I'm afraid I find it rather silly. It reminds me of a character in the "Rupert Bear" children's book series, and is great on her but not in real life.

It's the type of name I would have dreamed of having when I was younger.

Then again, I also liked "Water Lily" as a name.
