In May of 2024, Alabama couple Rebecca and Lavareis Bryant welcomed quadruplets that were actually two sets of twins. (The quads born recently in Louisiana, Texas, and Massachusetts were also two sets of twins.)
The Bryants’ twin boys and identical twin girls weighed less than two pounds each when they were born at 23 weeks and 4 days gestation — 115 days before their expected due date. They arrived so early, in fact, that they’re now recognized as the most premature surviving quadruplets by Guinness World Records.
What were they named?
Lainey (girl), Kali (girl), Lennon (boy), and Koen (boy).
What are your thoughts on these names?
P.S. The Bryants also have three older children named Kendall, Laikyn, and Kainen.
