Nonuplets and More Multiple Births

Hey, everyone! I’m new here! I’m a writer and I have my first book out and finished four others in the last five years with another one on the way. I am working on lots of books right now, most of them ghost stories. I [name_u]LOVE[/name_u] multiple births! I don’t remember seeing any forums about nonuplets, decuplets, undecuplets, duodecuplets, tredecuplets, quattordecuplets, quindecuplets and sedecuplets. That’s nine to sixteen. I know most of these never happened with the first having no surviving babies, but hey, it’s fiction and maybe they’ll happen someday! Now, here are the rules:

The rules are that you come up with names for every one of those multiple births, they could be similar or different, it’s up to you; and you should have names for every combo in those multiple births; e.g. Eight girls and one boy, eight boys and one girl, nine girls, nine boys, seven girls and two boys, seven boys and two girls, six boys and three girls, six girls and three boys, five boys and four girls, five girls and four boys and so on and so forth for every multiple birth listed. Enjoy!

Okay I guess I will start. So just for fun the first names are characters from books and the middle name would be the author’s name. Seven Girls and Three Boys. The surname is York

Alice Carol = Alice from “Alice in Wonderland” and Carol from the author Lewis Carroll

Elinor Jane = Elinor from “Sense and Sensibility” and Jane from the author Jane Autsen

Sara Frances = Sara and Frances from the author Frances Hodgson Burnett

David Charles = David from “David Copperfield” and and Charles from the author Charles Dickens

Margaret Louisa = Margaret from “Little Women” and Louisa from the author Louisa May Alcott

Chirstopher Alan = Chistopher form “Winnie the Pooh” and Alan from the author A.A. Milne

Maria Elizabeth = Maria from “Little White Horse” and Elizabeth from the author Elizabeth Goudge

Clarissa Virginia = Clarissa from “Mrs Dalloway” and Virginia from the author Virginia Woolf

Rebecca Kate = Rebecca from “Rebecca for Sunnybrook Farm” and Kate from the author Kate Douglas Wiggin

Milo Norton = Milo from “The Phantom Tollbooth” and Norton from the author Norton Juster

I had fun doing this :slight_smile:

I once made up nonuplets with names following a pattern like (consonant) - vowel - double consonant - y, and then turned these nicknames into full names. I don’t remember all of them, so I’ll just see how many I can come up with.

[name_f]Penelope[/name_f] nn [name_u]Penny[/name_u]
[name_m]Oliver[/name_m] nn [name_u]Olly[/name_u]
[name_m]Benjamin[/name_m] nn [name_m]Benny[/name_m]
[name_f]Jennifer[/name_f] nn [name_f]Jenny[/name_f]
[name_m]Ronald[/name_m] nn [name_u]Ronny[/name_u]
[name_m]Lennard[/name_m] nn [name_m]Lenny[/name_m]
[name_f]Melanie[/name_f] nn [name_f]Melly[/name_f]
[name_f]Elisabeth[/name_f] nn [name_f]Libby[/name_f]
[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] nn [name_f]Elly[/name_f]
? nn [name_f]Molly[/name_f]
? nn [name_f]Sally[/name_f]
? nn [name_f]Holly[/name_f]
? nn [name_f]Fanny[/name_f]

I came up with the GP quintuplet girls set that followed the trend begins with L, ends with L, four letters, two syllables: [name_f]Lila[/name_f], [name_f]Lyra[/name_f], [name_f]Leda[/name_f], [name_f]Luna[/name_f], [name_f]Leia[/name_f].

[name_m]Just[/name_m] so I have a bit of a challenge (since my top 10 lists are pretty sturdy ATM), I’ll do all one letter. Nine girls could be:
[name_f]Maeve[/name_f] [name_f]Alaska[/name_f]
[name_f]Mila[/name_f] [name_f]Ariadne[/name_f]
[name_f]Margo[/name_f] [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f]
[name_f]Moira[/name_f] [name_f]Louise[/name_f]
Megara [name_f]Lily[/name_f]
[name_f]Maia[/name_f] [name_f]Leilani[/name_f]
[name_f]Mabel[/name_f] [name_u]Everly[/name_u]
[name_f]Marvel[/name_f] [name_u]Eloise[/name_u]

I’ll do sixteen. The gender ratio (7 boys, 9 girls) isn’t for any particular reason, other than these are the combos I like the most at the moment.
