Question, and a game.

I was recently thinking how difficult it is for me to come up with names for one child, let alone multiple children. I can't get one name to stick for more than a month or two before deciding that it is awful and needs to be revamped, completely. This lead me to ponder how you name multiples, then. (And here's where our game ties in, eventually.) How would you name a set of twins? Would you just, automatically, use your top two girls or boys names? Is there more of an importance for twins, triplets, or quads, to have similar/different names, rather than if they had been six, three, or ten years apart? (I apologize if this seems like word vomit, I've been awake for over twenty-four hours.)

And now, your task:

In your opinion, the worst names for a b/b, g/g, and b/g set of twins? What about triplets? What about quads? (Can be similar in sound, theme, or just terrible names.)

If you gave birth to twins, triplets, or quads, what would you name them? How would you choose?

One of my co-workers' MIL's name is Ingaborg Elizabeth. She has a twin named Elizabeth Ingaborg. Their mother did not know she was carrying twins. And once they were born, she only had 1 name picked out. So she decided she would flip the first & middle names.

Ingaborg Elizabeth (nn Inga)
Elizabeth Ingaborg (nn Elsa)

From what I've heard, both of them love their names.

It's like Dear Abby and Ann Landers whose real names were Esther Pauline and Pauline Esther.
