[Opinions] Swedish quadruplets
One of the Swedish evening papers has an article about a family who has quadruplets. They are 1,5 years old and called Jones, Josef, Josefin and Jasmine.
They have two older sisters: Rosalinda, 4,5, and Norsin, 2,5 (I think the parents are originally from somewhere in the Middle East).
The article also says that in modern time, there have only been three cases of quintuplet births in Sweden, latest was in 1992.

Seriously? They all start with a J? Sounds like the Duggars.
And, Josef and Josefin? WTH?I do like Rosalinda, though.

Themed, in a dated kind of way. Nothing too badly wrong with that, but really! Josef and Josefin! Surely, somewhere in the big, wide world of J- names they could have found something less repetitive.

I love Jasmine and Norsin is very interesting. Rosalinda is too granny. Josef and Josefin is obviously too much! And Jones? I don't know where that came from... The parents' style seems all over the place!

Odd, another article I've read about them said Josef, Josefin, Junis and Jasmin. I prefer that. I wonder what's correct?They're wrong btw, there have been four cases of quints in modern times (1965, 1966 and twice in 1992). ;) (Also in 1726 and 1732, and then seemingly none for a couple of centuries ... Weird.)

I hope it was Junis and not Jones. Jones is a surname to me.

I don't like Jones as a fn, and repeating Josef/ Josefin makes it look like they couldn't think of another name, so just picked another form of a name. Jasmine is the only one of the four I like. Rosalinda is good, and Norsin is interesting. It must be from their culture.

I googled Norsin and it seems to be Zazaki, which I think is a Kurdish dialect. Would guess it means something with light (like Noor).

I like Jasmine, and I would like Josephine if it was spelled this way.Josef and Josefin though. WTF.
