...and now I've got 'Here comes your 19th nervous breakdown!' playing in my head, lol.
Every single one of the girls' names ends in an ee sound. That would drive me nuts.

Those are overall some nice names. I'm glad they didn't go the matchey matchey route and give them all names starting with the same first letter. Unfortunately Millie and Tillie rhyme. Phoebe is the best name on that list and I like it paired with Willow. Oscar and Ayprill are the worst names listed.

I cannot imagine being pregnant so many times...
Christopher - Name isn't objectionable at all, but I grew up with so many of them (all going by "Chris") that the name is utterly milquetoast now.
Sophie - This is nice. I've always liked both Sophie, since I was a kid - and Sophia, though I'd most likely spell that Sofia. Not sure why I'd want to change the consonants when I add an A, but I do. In any event, though, I wouldn't use the names now because they are just way, way too common. I see little Sophias everywhere now (and Olivias, and Emmas / Emilys...)
Chloe - I like Chloe, but I feel like it's a name you either love or hate. I get why some people think it's a "cheerleader" name, but I can just as easily picture it on a lawyer. I actually prefer it to Zoe.
Jack - It's a mainstay, even though it originated as a nickname... but it makes me think of pirates. Always. It's the black sheep of classic names.
Daniel - Lots of people love this name, and they can go on loving it. But I can't stand Danny. Or Dan, for that matter.
Luke - Good, strong name.
Millie, Katie, Ellie & Tillie - By themselves, I don't like nicknames as full names (then the kid never really has a choice of what they'd like to be called - maybe she would've preferred "Kat" or "Kitty" to Katie)... but to have all of them together in the same sibset is absolutely *ridiculous*! It's displays a clear sign that the family had so many kids that they ran out of names - and if I were one of them, I'd be looking at some of my other siblings wondering why my parents gave them so much better names than they gave me.
Christopher - Name isn't objectionable at all, but I grew up with so many of them (all going by "Chris") that the name is utterly milquetoast now.

I saw them on TV a couple of years ago. I think they were expecting and later gave birth to either Oscar or Casper at the moment.
19 kids is A LOT. But I like these names:
Sophie (and Leo)
Jack
Daniel
Luke
Millie
James
Max
Oscar
Casper
Phoebe Willow
Alfie
It's quite ridiculous to have a Millie, Ellie, Tillie and Hallie though. Guess they ran out of names?

I think that if you're old enough to have three grandkids, you are too old to still be squirting out babies of your own.
All the names seem pretty standard popular UK names, and a lot of them, especially taken together, sound like a bunch of dogs or cats.
Ayprill is stupid. Like people don't know how to pronounce April. Phonics are overrated.

What? The mother is only 40. Some women don't even have their first child until they are 40, I don't think it's really fair to say she shouldn't have anymore children because her daughter (who is 22) has children as well.
If you were arguing she shouldn't have 19 children, well that I can understand.

Christopher Technically nothing wrong with it, but it's been so popular and I've known so many guys called Chris that I'm really sick of it.
Sophie Never have liked Sophie, just makes me think of the word "sofa" and also "soap."
Chloe Cloying. Zoe is a lot better.
Jack I like it fine but I think it should be a nickname.
Daniel Nice but boring.
Luke One of my favorite boys' names.
Millie I think it's silly and it should be a nickname anyway.
Katie Gad I hate nicknames as full names. Nothing wrong with it but for that.
James Strong and handsome, but boring
Ellie Stop with the nicknames! I don't like it anyway.
Aimee Amy is bland and white bread and in addition there's no need for the spelling variation.
Josh I like Joshua but like Christopher I'm sick of it because of its popularity and Josh is fine as a nn for Joshua but should not be used on its own.
Max I love it, but only as a nickname for Maxwell.
Tillie Like Millie but even sillier and Millie and Tillie as sisters increases the silliness factor by 10.
Oscar Apparently this is becoming popular but I hate it, to me it's a sloppy grouch.
Casper And this sounds weak, wimpy, and ghostlike.
Hallie Alphia Beau Ok whatever.
Phoebe Willow Phoebe to me sounds awful, FEEE-BEEE.
And a still born Alfie Sad that he was stillborn, but the Brits' love affair with this name inspires in me nothing but shocked disbelief.
Are you sure all those nicknames are the full names?
Sophie Never have liked Sophie, just makes me think of the word "sofa" and also "soap."
