Identical quadruplets Autumn, Brooke, Calissa and Dahlia were born on August 12 to Canadian couple J.P. and Karen Jepp.
I like that their names are linked, but don’t sound very much alike (i.e. don’t rhyme or share the same rhythm). I think it’s a good idea in this case to give each daughter a name that sounds distinct from the others.
But do I wonder why three of the names are nature-related (a season, a body of water, a flower) and the fourth is not. Seems like Crystal or Cedar would have fit the pattern better than Calissa.
The girls have a 2-year-old brother named Simon.
