J&K+8 kids names

PunkyBooster

As in Jon & Kate Plus 8 (In case you weren't familiar with the abbreviation).

Do you like their kids names? Did anyone else raise an eyebrow at "Madelyn Gosselin"? 

Twins- Cara and Madelyn

Sextuplet girls- Hannah, Alexis, Leah

Sextuplet boys- Joel, Aaden, Collin

I love the triplet girls names.  Especially Leah.

i like them. Not a fan of the name "Joel" or the spelling of "Aaden", but generally speaking I like the names.

?"Madelyn Gosselin" ?is OK.

I like all of the names... I wouldn't use them all but I do think they are very nice names

AprilCachet

I like them and I like that they didnt say O we have twins and sextuplets lets give them all rhyming cutesy names.

star678

I like them all but would not use any of them.  They're good names but they aren't really my style.

Brookie-Cookie

they are nice enough, really popular

I think "Collin Gosselin" is a mouth full. I'm also not a fan of the sextuplet girls filler middle names (Faith, Joy, Hope)

Yes, that has always bothered me! I like all their other names though. Aaden Gosselin would normally bother me because the endings are too similar, but he's probably my favorite so I don't mind

I think they're fine.  Not wonderful or anything.

I probably like the twins' names the least.  I don't care for Cara at all.  I don't think it's that pretty, plus I knew an awful woman with that name.  I don't care for the spelling of Madelyn, but I adore the name Madeline.

My favorite of the names is Hannah, by far.  I've always loved that name.  I agree with PP on the generic filler middle names they gave to the sextuplet girls (Faith, Joy, Hope).

I have never seen Aaden spelled that way, so it always seems strange to be when I see it on the opening credits.

not a fan of any of their names. they seem too trendy and common for me.

I love Cara.  I wouldn't have paired Madelyn with Gosselin, or spelled it that way.  I like the triplet girl names.  I like Joel.  I don't like Collin.  And Aaden makes me want to vomit.  The name is SO overused and that spelling is just horrific.

I don't mind any that much, although I'm sick of Madelyn and Hannah...I love Leah and Alexis. I hate the spellings of Aaden and Collin.

I agree. I think all of the names go together well, but aren't matchy or anything. If it were me, I would have given each kid a different first initial, if that makes sense. Growing up, my parents assigned chores on the board and that kind of thing by S, B, Z, M, D...but I think the names all flow together.

And Madelyn is called Mady more than anything else, so I think it's fine.

I like the names ok, but I would not personally have chosen them.

I am curious why some of you think that Faith, Hope, and Joy are "filler" names. I have known plenty of people with these names and my BFF in HS was named Faith. I hypothesize that after battling IF they were really happy to have these little miracles.

I love the names Cara, Hannah and Leah. I also love Collin. The other names are nms. I think they did a good job with picking their names. None are strange, although I don't like the spelling of Aaden.?

I disagree with Hope, Faith and Joy being considered "generic filler" middle names.  I have triplets with one having the middle name Hope.  A lot of thought went into her middle name.  A higher order multiples pregnancy is considered extremely high risk and I can see why the sextuplet girls would have those middle names - esp. given Jon and Kate's religious background (and believe me, I don't even really like them!)

Anyway - I thought that Grace, Rose and Claire were generic fillers for middle names??

I like some of the names...Collin, Joel, Hannah, Madelyn....the rest are okay but not horrible

I agree re: Faith, Hope and Joy. I would never criticize them for these. They were given to them for the significance of them being three of the theological virtues. 

And I don't like the Gosselins very much either!

I'm not a fan of names that end in the same sound...

i.e. Aaden, Colllin, Madelyn Gosselin

(or when the first name ends in the same sound that the last name begins with: i.e. Collin Noname)

Soon2BMrsN

I like their names overall.  The only one I think is weird is the spelling of Aaden.  Naming 8 kids would be hard, IMO.

austenreader85

As a fan of the show (despite of all the Kate drama sometimes) I like all the names, but I guess they've grown on me.  I guess Madelyn and Collin aren't the best choices with the last name Gosselin.  I like Madelyn spelled that way.  I think Alexis is my favorite.  I love the nn Lexi for a little girl.  Joel is nice too.  And I like the sextuplet girl middle names.  But come to think of it, Alexis probably should have had a Bible name too!

Aligator28

That spelling of Aaden is not the worst I have seen (although it really bothers me). I taught a boy whose name was pronounced "Aidan" but spelled Aoedhun. <--horrible!

DASHSKIDADDLE

I love all the names especially Cara...it's my name!

mccall010105

My son's name is Joel, so of course I love it! I don't like Cara or Madelyn at all. I love Alexis and Leah. Hannah is not my favorite. I also love Colin, but Aaden is just gross. Bad name, worse spelling.?

ladyj02

I like all of them.

MrsJJC

I love all of the names actually and I like that they seem to go so well together. ?Dh's name is Joel and I especially love that one, although before I met him, I knew two Joels in high school and I always thought their name was a little tough/weird so i get that other people don't always like it. ?

What's wrong with Madelyn Gosselin? I think it's very pretty. Not a fan of the Aaden spelling personally - Aidan is my style with that name. ?

I agree with this completely. ?Grace, Rose, Claire, Anne, Marie....those are generic filler middle names to be honest! ?
