Hi, my husband and I are having quadruplets in December. What do you think of these names:
Baby A: Wyatt James
Baby B: Isabella Sandrene
Baby C: Gabriella Ismene
Baby D: Ethan Daniel

Please offer me any suggestions about the names, or let me know some of your favorites. Thanks, Chiara P.S. Our last name is 'Mills'

I think those are all good choices. I especially love the girls names. I just want to congratulate you and wish you the best of luck. I'm pregnant with #4 and I am afraid I will be overwhelmed but I can't imagine having all 4 at once!!
Best wishes!

My sil just had triplets and named hers - Leland, Camille and Harper.

I like your names, but I think Gabriella and Isabella sound too much alike. JMO.

Good luck to you and your babies! HOM's are SO special! Get lot's of rest and drink your water!

(Have you checked out TripletConnection.org? It's not just for triplets, but all HOM's.)

I think the names you chose are nice but I would find a different name for one of your daughters. The names for your sons, Wyatt James and Ethan Daniel, are so distinctly different but the names for your daughters, Isabella Sandrene and Gabriella Ismene, are too similar. If you are going to give your boys distinct names then your girls should be able to have a name that is distinct from one another also.

Hi and congrats on the quads. I hope they're healthy & happy babies!
Here are my thoughts on your list-

Baby A: Wyatt James
Baby B: Isabella Sandrene
Baby C: Gabriella Ismene
Baby D: Ethan Daniel

Babies A & D: Wyatt James & Ethan Daniel- Perfect brother names. Not matchy, but still the same type of names. Good flow with last name too.

Babies B & C: Isabella OR Gabriella is a lovely match to the boys' names, but the two together are just too similar, esp. with the matchy middle names. I think it'd be fine to keep the matchy middle names if you change one of the first names.

Here are some graceful, elegant, formal names that would make a lovely sister to either Isabella or Gabriella without being so similar-

*Isabella Sandrene & Cassandra Ismene*
Isabella Sandrene & Vanessa Ismene
Isabella Sandrene & Liliana Ismene
Isabella Sandrene & Annalia Ismene
Isabella Sandrene & Natalia Ismene
Isabella Sandrene & Leanna Ismene
Isabella Sandrene & Laurel Ismene
Isabella Sandrene & Abigail Ismene
Isabella Sandrene & Natasha Ismene
Isabella Sandrene & Tabatha Ismene
Isabella Sandrene & Anastacia Ismene
Isabella Sandrene & Alexandra Ismene
Isabella Sandrene & Rayanna Ismene
*Isabella Sandrene & Miranda Ismene*
Isabella Sandrene & Amanda Ismene
Isabella Sandrene & Julianna Ismene
*Isabella Sandrene & Annalise Ismene*

Gabriella Ismene & Veronica Sandrene
Gabriella Ismene & Victoria Sandrene
Gabriella Ismene & Angelica Sandrene
Gabriella Ismene & Ariana(R-ee-ahna)Sandrene
*Gabriella Ismene & Bianca Sandrene*
Gabriella Ismene & Erika Sandrene
Gabriella Ismene & Camilla Sandrene
Gabriella Ismene & Calista Sandrene
Gabriella Ismene & Mileah Sandrene
*Gabriella Ismene & Fiona Sandrene*
Gabriella Ismene & Kimberly Sandrene
Gabriella Ismene & Monica Sandrene
Gabriella Ismene & Dominica Sandrene
Gabriella Ismene & Amberly Sandrene
Gabriella Ismene & Penelope Sandrene

If none of the new names I've listed sound as great to you as the two you've selected, then I'd at least drop the -a ending on one of them so they aren't SO similar-

Isabel Sandrene & Gabriella Ismene
Isabella Sandrene & Gabrielle Ismene

or
Isabel Sandrena & Gabriella Ismene
Isabella Sandrene & Gabrielle Ismena

Hope this helps & best wishes! Ginger
