[stylist] Quadruplets' names

[Barbara Hammel]

Helene
If you want to name the quads with all names starting with s, why not make 
the second letter different like: Sabina, Selma, Sidney and Sondra.  That's 
just an example of what I mean.  The other thing is that you could start 
their names with different first letters but have the rest of the name very 
similar like Bailey, Carrie, Jamie and Daisy.  Personally, I like to make 
the first letter the same for multiples.  Funny thing is, in the stories 
I've written it usually doesn't happen that way and my twins are Jesse and 
Paul.
Another idea would be to look up a certain definition of a name and name the 
children with names that mean that thing like all names that mean green, or 
happy or strong for example.

you speak, to whom you speak, and how and when and where.
