Helpidetical quadruplets ...
Saw a news article today about a family who had spontaneous identical quadruplets earlier this year. They already have two kids and the mother says she's looking foward to having more kids. I think something goes haywire in these people's brains when they have so many kids at a time.
Anyhow:
The son is Walter.
The daughter is Stella.
And the quadruplets are Sofia, Veronica, Philomena, and Isabel.
The parents are Marco and Rachel.
Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you criticize him, you're a mile away and you have his shoes!

I dislike the combination of names. I love Isabel, though.
I love the names Sofia and Isabel. I’m not super fond of Veronica and Philomena, but they’re good names and I see the appeal.
Great taste in names!!
...I'm not sure how people function in that situation. And to want more children? I hope they have some major financial security.
Anyway.
Actually quite like the quadruplets names! The two other children are pretty meh to me and feel a little off as a sibset.

Not a fan of Walter but i like all the girls' names.
RoxStar, I'm sure you're right about the brains, but not about the haywire! Don't you think that their brain is really making the over-burdened parent feel huge enthusiasm for any and all babies and kids, precisely to protect them from feeling exhaustion, hostility, perhaps violence or worse towards a child or children?
As for the names, Walter and Stella are distinctive and go well together. So do Veronica and Isabel: pleasant, dated classics. I used to quite like Veronica, until I met one who was known as Ronny. I'm OK with Sofia but I vastly prefer Sophia - it's partly a pronunciation issue. Sofia = soFEEa, Sophia = soFYa. Philomena has a wonderful meaning, but as a name it's inconveniently long and clunky.

That's actually a really nice group of names, the only one I'm not really interested in is Sofia.
I think all of the names are fine, I'm not a huge fan of Philomena because it always makes me think of a Philly cheesesteak sandwich. A nice meal but not a name
I don't think it's unreasonable for people to have more than six kids if they want, but considering the health risks of multiples I'd be scared of tempting fate again after that. As someone that used to Nanny before College I can't for the life of me imagine being faced with four newborns and looking forward to more 🫠🫠🫠
The pregnancy was apparently very delicate and two o the girls had twin-to-twin transfusion, so yeah, I would think they'd quit after this while they're still somewhat ahead of the game.
Four newborns plus a one-year-old and a three-year-old is just madness. You'd be lucky if the three-year-old was somewhat toilet trained.

I think it's fine that they want more kids. Plenty of people have more than six kids.
Those aren't my favorite names, but I think they match and sound good together.

I like most of the names except Philomena. I love Veronica, but would probably pick a shorter name with a big family.
Well, at least they gave the kids normal names.
