7(ish) years later: Can you name 69 kids?
I remember we first did this on Facebook about 7 years ago, and I want to do it again myself so I thought I'd post it for everyone to enjoy. ;) My apologies if it's been reposted more recently. In the 1700s, a man named Feodor Vassilyev allegedly fathered 87 children, 69 of them with his first wife and the rest with his second. The first wife had 16 pairs of twins, 7 sets of triplets, and 4 sets of quadruplets, and his second wife had 6 pairs of twins and 2 sets of triplets.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feodor_VassilyevRegardless of whether you believe the claims, what would you name 69 children? (Or 87, if you want an extra challenge?) Bonus points if you do middle names too. ;)

It might've just been on Facebook. [m]I seem to remember the BtNers I had on FB at the time did it there. I have no idea why we did that.ETA: I found mine on Facebook from March 2009. The only people who I believe participated at that time were myself, Rachel Shaina, Tippins, Aileen, IrishGirl, Ariel, Flute, Llewella, basilisk, and Kristina Hope.
