"Well, I think she’s lost believability by having two sets of twins in the story already."Hey you take the words right out of my mouth! LOL. In my opinion, the names aren't really the issue here,its the same couple having two sets of twins. I mean if the other set were from a different family, it might be better, more realistic.

My SO's cousin has two sets of twins. One set of fraternal twin boys, one set of identical twin boys. Granted, it took her seven pregnancies to achieve this. Her first pregnancy was twins, and her seventh and last pregnancy was twins.

Well putting into account, the time frame that the story takes place in...yeah, not very believable. Back when they didn't have all these technologies and medical advances as they have today (or during a newer generation as opposed to an older one)
Perhaps if time traveling takes part of the plot...LOL!
Twins alone back then would have very likely been a far less occurrence-let alone two sets!

Actually having twins ups your chances of having another set naturally. My sister just had natural twins and was told due to risk factors in her pregnancy not to ever fall again because the chances of her having twins again is huge.
People having twins through medical intervention wouldn't have the same risk of having them again but it's definitely a factor for natural multiples.
