Extra "H"s are popular too.
Fakers are a big problem on multiple birth websites, and are easy to spot because the pregnancies are impossibly easy, the babies are enormous (i.e. quadruplets weighing over 7 pounds each), and - this is a dead giveaway - the babies are always girls, with an occasional token boy tossed in, and they have these really cutesy names with lots of "Y"s in them.
