Louisiana quadruplets: Lyric, Paisley, Psalm, Fallyn

kinderfest

In November of 2024, Louisiana couple Farrah and Peyton Larry (and their 2-year-old son PJ) welcomed quadruplets that — like these quads in Texas, and these quads in Massachusetts — were actually two sets of identical twins.

What did they name their four baby girls?

Lyric, Paisley, Psalm, and Fallyn.

(Lyric and Fallyn are one set of twins; Paisley and Psalm are the other.)

I don’t know how the names were chosen, but I do know how they were assigned: Farrah and Peyton wrote the names on slips of paper, put the slips into a Ziploc bag, and randomly selected one name after each birth.

What are your thoughts on these names? (If you had to name a set of all-girl quadruplets, what names would you choose?)

  1. I’v always liked the name Lyric, and Fallon (this spelling) is lovely. Paisley seems dated to me, and Psalm seems a bit much to live up to.

  2. Lyric’s not as bad, but I hate the other 3 names a lot. Fallon would be ok, but that spelling makes it look like it’s pronounced like “fallen.” I’ve always been disgusted by the word paisley, and when people started using it as a baby name, I was disheartened. And I hate any performatively Christian common noun like Psalm as a name. (It’s not as bad as Genesis, though.)

    I would give quads non-matchy but cohesive classic names. Something like Marie, Elizabeth, Christine, and Alison.

  3. I wonder if Lyric will feel extra special or perhaps left out as she is the only one who doesn’t share an initial with her parents and big brother?

    The People magazine article said the babies were referred to as A, B, C, and D in utero. I’m glad they didn’t go with names for those initials (although it would have been fine if they did). And, despite what I said above, I’m also glad they didn’t give all four girls names that start with the same initial (again, nothing wrong with that, if that was what they wanted).

    I can’t imagine naming more than two babies at once, let alone four!
