Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
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 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!
Just J-ify all of our names:
Jutty, Jophia, Jortex, Jox, Jita, Jat, Jerkins, Jora....
Jisbelle?
Jizzbelle...
(xposty - sibling minds think alike!)
They're seriously not trying.
Seriously. There are a TON of good J names!
They don't have a Jessica or a Jerome
They've got a Jessa, which is close enough to Jessica, I guess.
I remember reading somewhere that they were considering Jubilee for one of the kids. I think it was the one who became Jennifer. Also, in one of the TV specials, they were considering naming the next boy Judah Benjamin, which made me wonder whether they were aware of the historical one.
Well if you have Joy-Anna, I suppose you can join up any name. Joy-Beth, Joy-Emma, Joy-Mary, Joy-Jane, etc... and that's just the 4 letter second part. Same thing with John-David, John-Mark, John-Bob, John-Oliver, John-Noah, John-Dude, John-Boy, John-Onthejob... ok, I sort of went off the rails there.
Jisbelle?
I'm thinking that one might be problematic for a conservative Christian family..
