New York triplets: Logan, Eli, Collin

Identical triplets Logan Thomas, Eli Kirkwood and Collin McGuire were born on February 27th at North Shore University Hospital in Manhasset, NY.

They were born to Allison Penn, 31, and Tom Penn, 46, through in vitro fertilization. (Allison was impregnated with a single embryo that split in half — then one of those halves split in half again.)

Unlike the triplets born in Austria a few months back, these boys don’t seem to have a pattern to their names. Sure, each name has 2 syllables, includes at least one “L,” and has been relatively trendy over the past decade or two — but those are pretty subtle connections. Many other male names (like Tyler, Dylan, Caleb, Landon and Liam) could be described in the same way.

What do you think about the names? Do you have a favorite first/middle combination, of the three?

Sextuplets Brady Christopher, Charlie Craig, Eli Benjamin, Jackson Robert, Ryan Patrick, and MacKenzie Margaret — five boys, one girl — are the first set of sextuplets to be born in the state of Florida.

The babies were born on September 1st to parents Karoline and Ben Byler. They arrived more than 2 months early and will likely remain in the hospital until November.

In terms of popularity, each of the sextuplets’ names is at least moderately popular in the U.S. right now. Here’s how they stacked up rank-wise in 2006:

  • Ryan ranked 14th for boys (and 455th for girls)
  • Jackson ranked 36th for boys
  • MacKenzie ranked 53rd for girls
  • Brady ranked 105th for boys
  • Eli ranked 139th for boys
  • Charlie ranked 337th for boys (and 761st for girls)

The Bylers also have a 4-year old daughter named Zoe. (In fact, the name Zoe currently ranks 54th for girls — just one notch below MacKenzie.)
