Why did you name the Septs with all the same first letter? Do you support real multiple birth parents doing that?
Not necessarily. If I were the parent of real multiple birth children, I would want to name them with separate initials. However, multiple birth children are sometimes given the same initials by their parents, or rhyming names, or alphabetical names, or some other kind of themed names. As part of the things they have to go through as famous multiple births, I wanted the Carlson Septuplets to have to deal with this. Though I want to portray Mr. and Mrs. Carlson as good, loving parents, don’t assume that everything they do is something I am trying to endorse. I have them do things that I know real parents of multiplets have done, and I explore how the Septuplets deal with those choices. You can decide for yourself whether these things are positive or negative.
