Big Surprise!

We had an ultrasound on Friday for "baby #3".. and guess what! We're having baby #3 AND #4!! Our second set!! (and last). We were told that couples who have fraternal twins are five to six times more likely than others to have fraternal twins again (don't know whether these are fraternal or identical but it seems likely they'd be fraternal). Charlotte and Adelle looked identical when they were born (DH said 'all babies look the same!' though) but now at close to four months they look less alike (though both have DHs big green eyes). We knew they weren't identical shortly after birth due to their different blood types.

So we've decided we'd like to find out the genders of our babies (but have to wait a while to do that accurately!) But we're really excited and surprised (and a little nervous, of course, about having so many babies in the house!) We haven't told our nieces yet (live with us, we're legal guardians) but I'm sure they'll be coming up with names for them.. but do you have any suggestions? I'm liking Ilana (EE-lah-na) lately, and also Alexander. Cassandra (nn Cassie)? Peter?

I didn't notice the same initial issue! That's a good suggestion though I do love Alexander. I saw a lot of names I liked here - thanks! Leona, Julian, Nadia, and Oliver are some of my favorites. I know DH doesn't like Oliver but I do. He says he reads it as "Oh! (my) Liver!". I guess I feel that way about Justin "Just in" (worse with Dustin) but I like the name anyway - but wouldn't use it.
