Name the Duggar Baby!
The sprawling Duggar family needs your help. No, not with money for groceries, diaper changing or information on birth control. They’ve got residuals, older daughters and Psalm 127:5 for all that!
No, what Michelle and Jim Bob D. would like some input on are baby names. They announced yesterday she’s pregnant with their 19th! Seems naming an entire compound of kids starting with the letter “J” is proving difficult.
So! They’re taking suggestions. I know Strollerderby readers are full of opinions (I say that with love), so let’s have them. A recap of what has already been used:
From People:
Joshua James, 21
Jana Marie, 19
John-David, 19
Jill Michelle, 18
Jessa Lauren, 16
Jinger Nicole, 15
Joseph Garrett, 14
Josiah Matthew, 13
Joy-Anna, 11
Jedidiah Robert, 10
Jeremiah Robert, 10
Jason Michael, 9
James Andrew, 8
Justin Samuel, 6
Jackson Levi, 5
Johanna Faith, 3
Jennifer Danielle, 2
Jordyn-Grace Makiya, 8 months
Ma and Pa Duggar are not likely to go for my Strollerderby colleagues’ suggestions: JaRilly NeedAnotherBaby and J0-J0 (short for Johnjacobjingleheimerschmidt). It’s safe to say they’ll also forego this German terrorist’s insane idea.
But what’s left of the more likely candidates? I love messing with the Baby Name Wizard, so I just punched in “J” for both sexes and came up with these:
Jasper
Jasmine
Jacqueline
Judith
Julia
Julius
June
Jeffrey
Joan
Jodie
Jocelyn
Jared
Josephine
And the very, very unlikely: Jezebel
What do you recommend? (Besides vasectomy!)

Growing Up in a (Kinda) Duggar-Sized Family | Strollerderby commented on Sep 08 09 at 7:29 pm[...] Click for a more detailed “timeline report,” and you can see a state-by-state comparison of the density of “Jeanne,” “Jonathan” or “Jehosephat” (not surprisingly, the latter never made it into the top one hundred – perhaps we should suggest it for the Duggars?).

SussLW commented on Sep 03 09 at 6:39 pmI love how the Baby Name Wizard easily spit out a dozen normal J names yet the Duggars went with “Jessa”, “Jinger” and “Jedidiah”
Gretchen commented on Sep 03 09 at 10:27 pmI second Jesus. It’s perfect.
Laura commented on Sep 03 09 at 11:28 pmI’d go with “Jesus F-ing Christ, You People Need Other Hobbies.”

Carrie M. commented on Sep 04 09 at 3:51 pmComments Jesus would be perfect for them since they are jesus freaks
Carrie M. commented on Sep 04 09 at 3:51 pmComments whoops meant to capitalize the second Jesus
ChiLaura commented on Sep 04 09 at 4:17 pm“Jinger”? Is this supposed to be “Ginger”? I look at that and all I think is that it rhymes with “singer.” Anyone else?
I’m just not a fan of naming one’s kids with the same initial letter.
Mary commented on Sep 04 09 at 4:19 pmI think it’s ironic that a blog dedicated to babies and children seems to hate it when there are “too many” of them in one family. I like children and the Duggars seem to be a nice family. There are plenty of families out there who do a lot worse.
Ali commented on Sep 04 09 at 4:49 pmJesus, because that is why they all have names that start with “J”. My favorite is Jermajesty, Jermaine (germaine) Jacksons’ son.
maeby commented on Sep 04 09 at 6:27 pmZeus.
tess commented on Sep 04 09 at 10:18 pma perfect name for the new baby is: Justabout Enough Duggar!

Hello Michelle, My name is Jeannie Lynn (Jeannie means “God’s gift” I think a beautiful name for your next baby (if she’s a girl) would be Jeannie Mackynzie Duggar.
