In February of 2014, Kimberly Fugate of Mississippi went into labor. She was expecting triplets, but learned in the delivery room that she would be having quadruplets.
What did she name the four identical baby girls?
Kenleigh Rosa, Kristen Sue, Kayleigh Pearl, and Kelsey Roxanne. (Kelsey was the “hidden surprise.”)
Kimberly’s first child, a daughter named Katelyn, was 10 when the quads were born.
(I’ve also blogged about quads with Sh-names and quads with Ch-names.)

I’m not a huge fan of all siblings/family members having names starting with the same letter, but I think the quads having K names like their older sister is nice ( and their mom too) . And the names their mother chose are all nice and just different enough that they aren’t too ‘matchy-matchy’.
I agree with you — I like that the K-names connect all five siblings, so that the oldest one doesn’t feel left out.
Missed opportunity to name the surprise fourth quadruplet Quinta or Quinn! It would’ve been perfect: “fifth” for the fifth child, and the middle names would’ve lined up alphabetically with the others too.
1. Katelyn
2. Kenley Pearl
3. Kelsey Quinn (instead of Roxanne)
4. Kenleigh Rosa
5. Kristen Sue
Gorgeous girls, by the way! https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=10066616280062261&set=a.111101708947151
Kayleigh, not Kenley. Oh well, it gets confusing :)
Quinn (or Quinta) would have been a great middle for the surprise quad!
Those girls are so pretty. :)
