The names sound very of the time. I don't care for
Laverne, but
Vicky and
Micky together are the only ones that are bad. The others are just super trendy. It would be like sisters named
Abigail,
Olivia,
Skylar,
Penelope,
Riley,
Nora &
Nova,
Piper, and
Mila or something.
From the article, it sounds like
Barbara was one of the youngest sisters. She didn't remember her mom and the girls' father(s) aren't really mentioned.
Barbara's foster experience was horrible. I hope the other sisters were in better situations.
