On Valentine’s Day, Texas couple Manuel and Tressa Montalvo (and their 2-year-old son Memphis) welcomed four baby boys into the family.
This was no ordinary set of quadruplets, though. Tressa had given birth to two sets of identical twins.
The odds of that happening? About “1 in 70 million.”
The first set of twins was named Ace and Blaine. The second set was named Cash and Dylan.
“We tried to stick to the A-B-C-D theme when naming them,” Tressa said. (So did Canadian couple J.P. and Karen Jepp, who named their quads Autumn, Brooke, Carissa and Dahlia.)
Do you like the names Ace, Blaine, Cash and Dylan?
If you were going to rename these babies and follow the same pattern, what four alphabetical boy names would you choose?

I’d just suggest replacing Ace with Adrian and Cash with Carson. Thus:
Adrian, Blaine, Carson, Dylan
I’d pick a different sequence, rather than starting with A.
Percy, Quincy, Ryder, Sawyer
Kayden, Liam, Marco, Nico
@C in DC – Like that idea! Makes the alphabetical ordering much less obvious, which is nice.
I would rename them
Augustin (Gus), Benedict (Ben), Constantine (Stan), and Deveroux (Dev)
Or
Arthur, Benjamin, Charles, Duncan
I would never limit myself that way. But if I was offered $1 million for naming them with A-B-C-D names, then Arthur, Bram, Conrad, and Daniel
Are we renaming those babies the names WE like best or what we would suggest to THESE Texas parents with a Spanish surname? (Parents who named their first son Memphis.)
Rename them any way you like. :)
Um, those are still quadruplets. There were just two sets of identical babies within the quads. I know a family who has a set of quintuplets with two sets of two identical babies within the quintuplets. That doesn’t stop them from being quintuplets.
Ha, of course. :) I shouldn’t have written it like that. Thanks Angela. I’ll revise.
Aaron
Blaine
Chance
Dylan
