Victor and Digna Carpio of Queens welcomed sextuplets–four boys and two girls–back on October 6th.
The babies are New York City’s second-ever set of sextuplets, and possibly the first sextuplets born to a Hispanic couple in the United States. (Victor and Digna are originally from Ecuador.)
The sextuplets were born about 3 months early and identified as A, B, C, D, E and F for several weeks before being named Danelia, Genesis, Jadon, Jezreel, Joel, and Justin.
The babies have one older sibling, a 7-year-old brother named Jhancarlos.
What do you think of all the names?
