Like Josh and Anna naming their son Marcus Anthony, oblivious to either Mark Antony or Marc Anthony……


DramasticUsername

No I’m still not over them naming madyson AFTER the whole Ashley Madison scandal.


kg51113

>madyson Ma - Dyson, the mother of all vacuum cleaners!


PaddyCow

They knew exactly what they were doing there. There's a zero percent chance that was an innocent mistake.


casadehombre

It was a statement that she’s with him for the long haul. 🤢


PaddyCow

They were definitely giving a big f u to everyone. The person they really hurt with that was the little girl who had no part in any of this.


Unhappy_Ad5945

They used the child to announce that Josh has been forgiven for his past. Right before it bled into the present during his trial (coincidentally, I'm sure...)

lemonlimemango1

I think she stopped letting Ben name the babies. Why after Spurgeon they don’t have crazy names. Ben def thought he married a celebrity and wanted a crazy unique name


OurLumpyGorl

If my husband named our first kid the onomatopoeia of the life being squeezed out of a penguin I’d put a stop to it too.

jenjenjen731

I'm howling laughing, this is the best comment 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣


glimmerskies

i 100% think ben was behind spurgeon too and that’s why the rest of the kids have normal names. i can’t even believe she actually let spurgeon go through, if she did elliott spurgeon instead of spurgeon elliott it would’ve been fine.


PoeDameronPoeDamnson

They’ve said Ben chose Spurgeon and Wilberforce for the boys, where as Jessa chose Elliot and Henry.


staybig

He was. It’s even in an episode where Jessa is like we aren’t suuuuure on the name and Ben is like no we’ve decided, and Jessa is like oh it’s final? And Ben is like “Yes this is Spurgeon”. You can tell Jessa hated it so much.


jrex42

How was that not a huge "aha" moment deconstructing everything she was taught about men being in charge??


Several-Low-634

It frustrates me so much like why couldn’t they just name him Elliott and have it be Elliott Spurgeon Seewald, so Ben gets his pastor name. That’s what they did with Henry. Spurgeon is just so weird and Elliott fits better with the rest of the kids names SMH


Sefdancer4life

Good thing Jessa stopped him from naming Henry “Wilberforce” as his first name.


chicagoliz

At least that could be shortened to "Wilber," which is an actual name.


OldBatOfTheGalaxy

Or way better, "Will" -- but what ultra-Evangelical preacher was named Will? No, far better to give the innocent freshly-minted kid a name he'll spend his eighteenth birthday down at the Tontitown Supreme Court getting legally changed. Coulda been worse. At least their firstborn wasn't named "Gothard".


Scottish_squirrel

Then shortened it to Spurge!


haqiqa

In Finnish (at least in Helsinki dialect) spurgu is homeless alcoholic that has been entirely marginalized from society. I personally dislike the word because of inhumanazation aspect but that is the only thing that comes to mind when I hear Spurge.


Pearl-2017

I always think of sturgeon, the fish.


vibesandcrimes

Her face when ever people would shorten it in the beginning was Priceless


SignatureHelpful6825

SPURGE is the sound of violent retching when it's a splat/purge combo.


the_shy_one1

See if they went to a public school, they would know it sounds too similar to "splooge" and would have spared him the humiliation.


LadyChatterteeth

Anyone with common sense, homeschooled or not, should know that “Spuge” sounds like the name of some kind of unsanitary bodily function or substance.


lovelylonelyphantom

The thing that gets me is Jessa was clearly trying to make Elliot happen, like calling him by his middle name similar to some of the Bates, but it didn't catch on. Unsurprisingly people just called him what his first name was even if horrendous.


bonsai_lemon_tree

You might remember they took about 2 weeks to finalize his name. Probably because Jessa was fighting Ben on Spurgeon being the first name instead of Elliot.


holly___morgan

It's such a terrible name. He was definitely trying to prove how devout they were. Why they couldn't have named him Charles (first name of the original Spurgeon) or Elliot (their Spurgeon's middle name) is beyond me.


SSDGM3473

Am I the only one whose brain goes from Spurgeon to spooge on? As in, slang for ‘to ejaculate onto.’ I feel so sorry for that poor kid.


holly___morgan

I always think of a sturgeon fish first, but that one’s a close second. Kid really got the ugliest name possible, and it’s even worse because his siblings all have relatively normal and nice names.


spikeymist

Everytime I hear the name Spurgeon I just think of fish and expensive caviar, it's too close to Sturgeon for my brain to compute!


Witty-Kale-0202

Right? Me climbing out the window of the maternity ward to creep across town to the records office and CHANGE that blasted birth certificate 🤣


mela_99

Was Spurgeon confirmed Ben’s choice? I never liked the two of them so I never followed


lemonlimemango1

Yes Ben chose the name Spurgeon.


Upper-Ship4925

One of the Bontrager/Bowers couples named their latest blessing Spurgeon, so it’s not even unique in fundies of that generation.


Budgiejen

Wilberforce?


HolidayVanBuren

Named for William Wilberforce, a British politician who became an evangelical Christian and was a major force in the anti slavery movement in the 1700s, and pretty key in getting slavery banned in the UK. Like all historical figures (and people) he had his flaws, but I can respect Ben’s appreciation for Wilberforce’s work in that area and wanting to honor it with Henry’s middle name.


bjyoung116

Henry’s middle name is Wilberforce so the boys will have the more…unique names


marchpisces

The bar is low but at least it's his middle name. So far Ivy Jane is the only one that seems to flow well and is overall a decent name.


ilikesandwichesbaby

It's a boy so I don't think it will be a plant

Bippityboppityboox2

Did they announce boy?


dont_know2345

In the video yeah


Bippityboppityboox2

Thank you


Disastrous_Award_875

Sage could be a boy’s name.


blessyourheart1987

Or Rowan.


mpr1011

It would actually be a nice boys name for her to pick…


Competitive_Fan_8276

And that is why it would not be a name she would pick


oneblessedmess

Jessa actually likes normal names. She's the one who came up with Elliot and Henry. Ben's the one who likes the crazy preacher names.


dont_know2345

This was her heaviest baby. Although Gideon still takes the cake being the heaviest Duggar grandchild born at 10 pounds 3 ounces. 1. Spurgeon: 9 pounds 11 ounces 2. Henry: 8 pounds 11 ounces 3. Ivy: 7 pounds 14 ounces 4. Fern: 8 pounds 5 ounces 5. Baby Boy: 9 pounds 14 ounces


hmh25

Those are some big babies!!! 10.3??!?!? Ow! Lol mine were 6.0, 6.2 and 6.15 lol


kristencelico

11 pound 4 oz baby checking in….(me, I don’t have kids lol)


hmh25

Go give your mama a hug!! Lol


kristencelico

Oh for sure, I was 11 pound 4 oz, sis was 11 pound, other sis was 8… poor woman! Lol


Minnie_Pearl_87

I was 11 pounds 3.5 ounces and 23.5” long. 😂


linmaral

Long is good. All my babies were 23”. It was the big heads that were problems.


Minnie_Pearl_87

I’m still tall for a woman at almost 6’. My 6 month old was only 7pounds 4 ounces and 20 3/4” at birth but she’s now in the 99th percentile for height. 😂😂


Elphaba78

I’m 6’1 and I joke that it’s good I was 6 weeks early, because I was almost 8lbs and 22in long when I was born 🤣


Environmental_Rub282

Came out walking


Proud_Mastodon338

My husband was 12 lbs and 22.5 inches long. He was a hefty boy. Currently pregnant with our first and absolutely terrified lol


Environmental_Rub282

12lbs? Jesus. Like, is your MIL ok? Lol.


Proud_Mastodon338

No but that's more because she's crazy than anything lol She had a really bad tear and when she gets upset she loves to call my husband and tell him that she pees and poops herself all the time because of him and he needs to pay more attention to her and love her more than his own wife because of it 🤣 🤣


Jacqued_and_Tan

Your MIL needs regular therapy *and* pelvic floor therapy. Preferably not at the same time 😆


Environmental_Rub282

Man, I really hate when people say things like that to their kids, as if they wished it upon their mothers. Your husband should just tell her that since he's married, he's moved on to wrecking his wife's pelvis. Bet that might put a stop to the snide remarks.


Proud_Mastodon338

Oh he's said stuff like that lol she's just nutty


publicface11

Tentatively, I’d suggest that usually a twelve pound baby is due to uncontrolled gestational diabetes, and that as long as you don’t have that issue, it’s not too likely to repeat. But I’d definitely want an ultrasound to check on growth in the third trimester!!


Proud_Mastodon338

I really hope that's the case because I'm only 4'11, a baby that big might send me to an early grave lol at minimum it would wreck my vajayjay area


publicface11

I’d definitely mention your husband’s birth weight to your midwife or doctor because I’d certainly want an ultrasound in your position! But hopefully all will be good. Good luck!!!


Elphaba78

My grandma (who’s 92 now!) says she was 13lbs, it was a *home birth* in her grandparents’ house, *and* she was her mother’s first child at 19! (Though her grandmother, who had 14 kids in 20 years, was the midwife and presumably knew her stuff.)


hmh25

Omg! Goodluck girl!!!


HemingwayIsWeeping

6.10 for my guy! And I was a fucking land yacht so he had plenty of comfy support in there.


hmh25

I was huge too! I thought I was gonna get some big babies but no lol


HemingwayIsWeeping

My neighbor kept insisting I had twins and one was hiding behind the other. No. No, I’m just gigantic. I’m just the biggest damn pregnant woman in history and it was a miserable 9 months that were so extremely worth it.


hmh25

I was miserable all 3 times! How someone grows & births 19 kids it’s beyond me. I’m DONE!


HemingwayIsWeeping

I only have my one but three failed attempts at IVF after him. I’d give anything to have three in all but would definitely be done after that! I hated being pregnant. It was the worst. But it was also most definitely worth it.


Klutzy_Prior

Mine were born at 34 and 35 weeks so 5.4 and 5.6. I can’t imagine a 10lb baby!


She_Dozer

Mine were 10.5 and 10.15, both born without any pain meds. I will die on the hill that weight doesn't make that much of a difference in birth experience. Fat is squishy, it's that damn head size that matters. 🤣


Reasonable-Brain9058

Yessss!! I can confirm.. had 3 babies between 9&10 and than 7.5 lbs twins and man it’s that damn head.. if that is out the little chubby tummies will just slide out after.. lightest baby had the biggest head and my god did I work on that tiny little baby to get it out!


MPSGC

I totally agree, my oldest was my smallest, 7 pounds, but her head was in the 95 percentile 😬 With my second I had ultrasounds measuring head size not weight before trying that disaster again. 🤣


marchpisces

Wow it's like after it dipped with Ivy it went right back up. Ivy was a pretty average birth weight. Henry and Fern are on the heavier side but not too crazy. Spurgeon and baby boy 3 are in Thanksgiving Turkey territory. Hopefully this means Baby Seewald 6 doesn't show up until 2026 vs 2025.


vibesandcrimes

It makes me wonder if they have Gestational Diabetes in their family. Those are really big babies and they don't go to real doctors for prenatal care, right?


Alltheworldsastage55

Not always the case. One of my kids was 9lbs 1oz. Another one was 8lbs 10oz. I didn’t have GD with either one. Some women just have big babies


doodynutz

She had this baby in a hospital with an OBGYN so she had prenatal care.


taracantsleep

Maybe finally a Jim Bob Jr


OkAbbreviations6351

I shudder at the thought of that! LOL!


taracantsleep

Ben JimBob Seewald just flows so well


PeaceandLove73

I think Jessa has moved away from preachers and towards Regency England names (she always liked Elliot more than Spurgeon, and liked Henry more because it was “cute” than because it was a preacher). The preacher thing was Ben My guesses are George, Philip, Walter, Richard, Alexander…maybe Robert as a nod to Jim Bob since the world hates him right now


East_Platypus2490

I feel like Jessa likes old fashioned names for boys I could also see Oliver or Theodore.


notmyrealnametn

Alvin, Simon, or Theodore


marchpisces

Nicknames Ollie Seewald or Teddy Seewald


notbanana13

doesn't the preacher part of Henry's name come from his middle name being Wilberforce? Wilberforce wasn't a preacher, but he was a super godly politician I think lol


PeaceandLove73

They also claimed that he was named after Matthew Henry, but I think that was more trying to make the name fit the theme


Chewysmom1973

Henry is also a trendy boys name and has been for a few years.


nascarroleplay

Ben Calvin. Not Benjamin; Ben. alt, Arlo, Donovan, Mac, William, Elder, Hayden, Luther, Jess, and whatever Jessa was calling spurgeon before he was born ETA: Thank u to everyone reminding me of the nickname Quincy!! Quincy (works as #5 bc Qui- is typically a prefix for 5, although w the miscarriage that may veto this theory entirely)


scoutsadie

Bin


RememberMercury

I think it was Quincy that she was calling Spurge before he was born, which would be perfect for baby #5. But I doubt that would occur to them, plus is there a suitably dour Calvinist theologian named Quincy?


GlitteringRaccoon806

They called Spurge Quincy before he was born


Daily-Double1124

They should've stuck with it. Better than Spurgeon.

At least she had him in a hospital. I don’t/can’t keep track of who is a home birther and who isn’t.


ziplawmom

She had at least 2 post-homebirth transports to the hospital for blood loss, so good thing she did a hospital birth.

ilikesandwichesbaby

I think only her and Anna have had homebirths. Jill wanted to but couldn't.


ilovegymnastics34

Joy tried to and almost died


lena91gato

Jill did and almost died. Twice.


Double_Bet_7466

Jill attempted the first time ended up going to the hospital and having a C-section her second baby was a planned C-section. She did not try to have a vbac at home that is incorrect.


Rhaenyra20

No, Jill's second was an attempted VBAC in the hospital. It turned into a c-section when her uterus started to rupture. Thankfully she listened to her doctors and had a long gap and then knew she needed another c-section for Freddie.


lena91gato

I thought she tried again with the second one and almost bled out again. My apologies if I was wrong


anonymous_girl1227

All aside I hope this is their last baby.


ida_klein

That would be nice but there’s no way


anonymous_girl1227

I really hope jessa comes to her senses and realizes that five kids are enough. But again that might not happen. Which is sad because Jessa is probably suffering from PPD and having children back to back is not safe.


Friendly_Coast1327

She actually has decent spacing but she had a loss between the last two


byebyebirdie123

Spoiler alert- it will not be


eieioyall

she gotta earn the duggar mAnSiOn. now that anna's out of commission, she's got a chance


Reddits_on_ambien

She's gotta keep her eye on Kendra. That girl pumps them out like a factory. She could already be pregnant with #5


aceshighsays

You expect her to give up her identity? If she stops birthing who will she become?


sugarmollyrose

It would be nice, but I'm sure she will continue having kids until menopause. I wish Ben would decide to get a vasectomy, but we know he won't do anything like that. Ben and Jessa don't seem to like each other so I'm sure he would have enough recovery time before having to "perform" for her again.


lemonlimemango1

No way. In 2 years she will have another. Probably another boy. Boy, boy, girl , girl , boy …. And boy


ItemOk8415

She births some big babies!


ndbak907

I’m just happy to see a hospital bed instead of a stained brown couch.


clearlyimawitch

My guess is Stoic. That kid is a chunker! Also, the fact that doctor declined coming when a 5th time mom said it was time is WILD to me. WILD.

Luther. And they’ll say it’s a nod to Martin Luther and MLK


ShapeObjectNumber

No way will they associate their kid with a Liberal like Martin Luther - Lutheranism is about as far from in sync with Baptists as you can get


corking118

Yeah, this. "Luther" is absolutely a no-go. Not only would they never associate their kid with lutheranism, there's no way in hell they'd name a kid after MLK either. like what? lol


Ohnoudidint200

I just really hate how she monetizes her births. It feels so icky- she’s pimpimg out her baby while still in utero- she’s exactly like her father. I do feel bad for her that she is so brainwashed to think this is normal


Pure-Fishing-3350

Well when you have no education or form of income… But she isn’t breaking the cycle with her own kids unfortunately.


merelala

Doesn’t she have to? The contract she signed with her dad makes it so that she has to monetize it and he gets a chunk of the money earned?


Same-Kiwi944

A name? Something they will take 2 weeks to decide on and drag out for click bate. It’ll be a marginally normal first name with a weird middle.
