[name_m]Hi[/name_m] berries :relaxed:
What would you name quadruplets today if you could only use names from the US top twenty of past decades?

Examples:

If I were to name quadruplets using the US top twenty names from the 1880s:
[name_f]Minnie[/name_f] [name_u]Florence[/name_u]
[name_f]Ethel[/name_f] [name_f]Margaret[/name_f]
[name_u]Arthur[/name_u] [name_m]Thomas[/name_m]
[name_u]Edward[/name_u] [name_u]Clarence[/name_u]

[name_u]Or[/name_u] from the 1930s:
[name_f]Betty[/name_f] [name_f]Frances[/name_f]
[name_f]Nancy[/name_f] [name_f]Margaret[/name_f]
[name_m]Frank[/name_m] [name_m]Thomas[/name_m]
[name_u]James[/name_u] [name_u]Edward[/name_u]

What would you name them?
