It makes my hoo-hah hurt just thinking about it.
Me too. I mean, isn't that many children the reason so many women in the 'olden days" had uterine prolapses?

Isn't 41 getting pretty high risk?
Yes, pretty high. Down Syndrome is just the first/most obvious risk at that age.
They already have run out of names. They've got a Jinger! Also, they've got girls named Jana, Joy-Anna, and Johanna,
I think their real problem is that they have no imagination. Not a Jaden or a Jermajesty in the bunch! No Jam, no Juggle, no Juwannaman, no Jerriffic. Really, there are hordes and hordes of J-names yet to be invented! The girl-name imagination-shortage is particularly pressing (I presume they're the kind of Christian that thinks girl-names all have to end with an A), but Jelicia is still available!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The other Duggar children, in between Joshua and Jennifer, are Jana, 18; John-David, 18; Jill, 16; Jessa, 15; Jinger, 14; Joseph, 13; Josiah, 11; Joy-Anna, 10; Jeremiah, 9; Jedidiah, 9; Jason, 7; James, 6; Justin, 5; Jackson, 3; and Johannah, 2.
They don't have a Jessica or a Jerome--I don't know what was up with Jinger or near duplicating with Joy-Anna and Johanna. Jacqueline. Jacob. Jane. Janice. Janet. Jasmine. Jarret. Jean. Jeanine. Jeffrey.
They're seriously not trying.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I would guess that the names have to be semi-Biblical, but "Jinger" and "Jackson" kind of disprove that one.

Freaking adopt some kids if you want that many!
Oh, but they didn't. Aren't these the ones that used to use the pill, then found out that it had caused a miscarriage, and decided therefore that any kind of birth control was contrary to God's will? How they extended that to rule out condoms, I don't know, but far be it from them to, you know, make decisions about their own fertility. Or, I don't know, STOP HAVING SEX. Even the rhythm method would have done SOMETHING to reduce this number, wouldn't it?
They actually seem like very nice people. I try not to judge, but obviously I fail miserably in this particular respect. I wouldn't mind so much if they'd decided they wanted to have lots and lots of kids -- it's the whole abdication of responsibility for the decision that really bugs. But I guess they must like them!

Seriously. There are a TON of good J names!
