No, Quakers do not always name their children the same names. Quakers believed in giving women equal rights as men, tolerance of all religions, nonviolence, and not having to strictly attend church, pray, or wear certain clothes to church. William Penn, for example, was an American history Quaker. He founded the colony of Pennsylvania. Against his dad's wishes, he became a Quaker instead of a Puritan. He fought for the good of the people instead of fixating on his own wealth. He named his children very different names indeed.

Not only that, but in that era way back in time, it was common for men to have a lot of children with a lot of different wives. So, maybe some of the children would end up with the same names. But that could easily happen in other religions too, not just Quakerism.
