Quintuplets born
Just saw this in a news article. A lady in Houston had quints named Aaron, Isaac, Priscilla, Joel and Matilde. WDYT?

I can't say I'm a big fan of any of them.
They don't fit together at all, imo.
I've never cared for Priscilla. It seems like the third evil step sister to me. I'm not as against Prisca, but still not a fan really.
Matilde is okay on its own. A little awkward in America, but whatever. It's also the biggest outlier in the entire sibset.
Aaron and Isaac go well together, but aren't anything special.
Joel seems kind of out of place all around, I think.Copying Anneza...
Using the same initials, I'd have Alasdair, Ian, Jasper, Philippa, and Mabel. (Or Ambrose, Indigo, Joss, Mona, and Pearl.)

I like Joel, but Aaron and Isaac are too patriarch-in-sandals for me. Not logical, I know! Priscilla is not a name I've ever warmed to: so frilly and fussy and creamy-sugary, though all the Priscillas I've ever known have been remarkably plain women. Matilde? Looks odd. Mathilde, yes; Matilda yesyesyes; but a merger? Keeping the initials, I'd have had Alastair, Ian, Philippa (or Penelope), Joel OK and probably Margaret rather than Matilda though I do like them both.

I like the boys names but not the girls.

I think all the names are okay on their own, but I wouldn't have paired them all together. The boys names work well together, however, Priscilla and Matilde seem random in comparison.

Priscilla is, um, a prissy old lady. And not in a good way. Matilde is similar, but not as bad. I'm almost liking Matilda, actually. Aaron and Isaac are typical biblical names. Joel is nicer than those two but sort of in the same category.

Those are pretty fantastic. I especially like Priscilla and Joel. Hooray for well-named quints!

Interesting mix! I think the boy names go well with each other and so do the girl names (I think Matilde is lovely!) but the 5 together seem mis-matched. Oh well, all 5 names are nice so I'm not complaining.
I hope all the babies are doing well!

The boys have better names than the girls in my opinion. I have nothing against Priscilla or Matilde but Aaron, Isaac, and Joel are better names.

I quite like the sibset and the use of Matilde makes me think she's a bit of a Name Nerd, too :oD Aaron is so underused but its a really nice name. Right up there in my top ten.Isaac I like as long as he goes by Ike ;o) Priscilla is yet another underused name but I can understand why because of the Elvis association (for those not into the King, mind you). NMS but it could've been worse or trendy. Joel is just a name to me. Its still handsome but its like Mike or Tim. Matilde I love. I hope they call her Tilly or Tilda or something eclectic cool like that ;o)

Hmm...Aaron, Isaac, and Joel flow well, and I like Mathilde, but she is kind of losing me with Priscilla.

I like the boy's names. I don't think Matilde really goes with the set and it's not really my style in the first place, but whatever floats their boat.I want to like Priscilla, except the first two nicknames that pop into my head are Prissy and Silly, neither of which are things I'd want my daughter to be called. If she goes by Silla or her full name, it'd be better. Congrats to them on the quints, though!

I like the set, but the boys' names don't match the girls' names. We have biblical-meets-old-fashioned goin' on, here.

I heard this on the radio at around 2AM. The radio presenter mentioned that he loved the names. I'm not entirely sure of what I think of Priscilla; it makes me think of Elvis and Look Who's Talking [Albert had a daughter named Priscilla]. It's a nice name, in theory, I do like it. I just don't know if I like it on an actual child. The other names are fantastic, though!
