I was watching this show about a family who had a set of five year old twins and i think one year old sextuplets! The twins names where Maddie and Kara. The sextuplets names where Alexis, Hannah, Leah, Collin, Aiden, and Joel. The family were friends of a family who had a six year old daughter and three year old quintuplets. The oldest was Ashley, and the quince were Rachel, Jenna, Katelyn, Zachary, and I didn't cath the other girl's name. WDYT?

I saw that last night as well. I thought the parents were hilarious and good-natured, though very exhausted. :b

I found a website a while back called "Facts About Multiples" which lists the names of A LOT of multiples around the world. http://www.threebluestars.com/multiples/
It's quite fascinating. Anyway, I found both of these families you mentioned (that were on the tv show) at that site, so that's where I found these spellings.

Gosselin (the family with twins then sextuplets)
DD/DD: Cara / Madelyn
DD/DD/DD/DS/DS/DS: Alexis / Hannah / Leah / Collin / Joel / Aaden

Brown (the family with a singleton then quintuplets)
DD: Ashley
DD/DD/DD/DD/DS: Faith / Kaitlyn / Jenna / Rachel / Zachary

I was curious where the quints' mother was when they went out to dinner. You have to commend any parent, though, mother or father, that would venture out alone with 6 preschoolers! :b

As for their names, I like Joel, Leah, Colin (only spelled this way) but the rest are too popular or trendy for my tastes. :-/

I hadn't found their mn's. Interesting that the girls' mn's are Faith, Hope, and Joy. :b Not bad as mn's, I guess. Overall, a little boring, but if I had that many kids at once, I might go with boring, too. LOL.

I saw that show too! According to http://www.threebluestars.com/multiples/, the Gosselins' names are Cara, Madelyn, Collin, Joel, Aaden (I hope that's a typo), Hannah, Alexis, and Leah. I like the names Cara, Leah, and Joel in the Gosselin family, and in the Brown family (the name of the other quint was Faith), I like Rachel and Zachary.
