Duggar Name Predictions

Apologies if this has already been done. One of my guilty pleasures is the show Counting On, featuring the Duggar family, as there is an almost constant (;)) supply of names and sibsets to keep up with. This year there are four more babies to come, as [name_f]Jessa[/name_f] Seewald gave birth a few weeks ago to her daughter [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f].

I thought it would be fun to see what people’s guesses are for the names of the new ones!

[name_f]Kendra[/name_f] [name_f]Renee[/name_f] (Caldwell) and [name_m]Joseph[/name_m] [name_m]Garrett[/name_m] Duggar

Gender: Unknown
Siblings: [name_m]Garrett[/name_m] [name_m]David[/name_m]
I think that they will choose something similar to [name_m]Garrett[/name_m], a slightly dated but solid name. My picks are [name_u]Logan[/name_u] or [name_m]Ethan[/name_m] for a boy, and [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] or [name_f]Grace[/name_f] for a girl.

[name_f]Lauren[/name_f] [name_f]Milagro[/name_f] (Swanson) and [name_m]Josiah[/name_m] [name_m]Matthew[/name_m] Duggar
Gender: Unknown
Siblings: [name_u]Asa[/name_u] (miscarriage)
They named their first pregnancy [name_u]Asa[/name_u], which is a soft short masculine name. I can see them choosing something like [name_u]Noah[/name_u], [name_m]Eli[/name_m] or [name_m]Miles[/name_m]/[name_m]Milo[/name_m], or [name_f]Grace[/name_f], [name_f]Faith[/name_f] or [name_f]Mila[/name_f].

[name_f]Joy[/name_f]-[name_f]Anna[/name_f] (Duggar) and [name_m]Austin[/name_m] Martyn Forsyth
Gender: Unknown
Siblings: [name_m]Gideon[/name_m] Martyn
[name_m]Gideon[/name_m] is a fairly unusual and very biblical name, so my guesses would be along similar lines. I struggled a lot choosing some girls’ names to fit this theme, but I’m thinking [name_m]Reuben[/name_m], [name_m]Ezra[/name_m] or [name_m]Ezekiel[/name_m] for boys, and [name_f]Martha[/name_f] or [name_f]Jemima[/name_f] for girls.

[name_f]Anna[/name_f] [name_f]Renee[/name_f] ([name_m]Keller[/name_m]) and [name_m]Joshua[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u] Duggar
Gender: Unknown
Siblings: Mackynzie [name_f]Renee[/name_f], [name_u]Michael[/name_u] [name_u]James[/name_u], [name_m]Marcus[/name_m] [name_m]Anthony[/name_m], [name_u]Meredith[/name_u] [name_f]Grace[/name_f] and [name_u]Mason[/name_u] [name_m]Garrett[/name_m]
Obviously it will be an M name, but they seem to have a preference for not necessarily classic names but definitely established ones. Given the recent passing of [name_m]Josh[/name_m]'s grandmother [name_f]Mary[/name_f], I think they may name a daughter after her. If not, my predictions are [name_f]Madelyn[/name_f], [name_f]Mae[/name_f] or [name_f]Miriam[/name_f] for a girl, or [name_m]Matthew[/name_m], [name_m]Malachi[/name_m], or [name_m]Maxwell[/name_m] for a boy.

Fun!

With [name_f]Kendra[/name_f] and [name_m]Joseph[/name_m], since they used [name_m]Joseph[/name_m]’s MN for [name_m]Garrett[/name_m], I could see something related to [name_f]Kendra[/name_f]’s name for a girl, maybe [name_f]Makenna[/name_f] or [name_u]Kennedy[/name_u]? I also can see [name_f]Olivia[/name_f], [name_f]Ava[/name_f], [name_f]Sophie[/name_f], etc. For boys, I definitely could see [name_m]Ethan[/name_m]!

For [name_f]Lauren[/name_f] and [name_m]Josiah[/name_m], I could see something related to rainbows or fresh beginnings - [name_f]Iris[/name_f], [name_f]Faith[/name_f], or some sort of flower name ([name_f]Lily[/name_f] maybe?) for girls, and for boys, I could see something soft and masculine like [name_u]Emmett[/name_u].

With [name_f]Joy[/name_f]-[name_f]Anna[/name_f] and [name_m]Austin[/name_m], I see another more unusual biblical related name choice - maybe [name_f]Galilee[/name_f] for a girl, or [name_m]Ezekiel[/name_m] for a boy?

[name_f]Anna[/name_f] and [name_m]Josh[/name_m]’s kids have a pretty distinct theme, so it’s a bit easier to hazard a guess here! Definitely think a [name_f]Mary[/name_f] name is likely for any/all of the kids (especially in the MN spot).

Girls: [name_u]Madison[/name_u], [name_f]Madelyn[/name_f], [name_f]Melody[/name_f], [name_u]Morgan[/name_u], [name_f]Mila[/name_f], [name_f]Maya[/name_f], [name_f]Molly[/name_f], [name_f]Makayla[/name_f], [name_f]Magnolia[/name_f], [name_f]Maisie[/name_f], [name_f]Millie[/name_f], [name_f]Mia[/name_f], [name_f]Megan[/name_f], [name_f]Mallory[/name_f], [name_f]Marissa[/name_f], [name_f]Malia[/name_f]

Boys: [name_m]Maxwell[/name_m], [name_m]Matthew[/name_m], [name_u]Morgan[/name_u], [name_m]Maverick[/name_m], [name_m]Maddox[/name_m], [name_m]Miles[/name_m], [name_m]Marshall[/name_m], [name_u]Monroe[/name_u]

Counting On is totally my guilty pleasure! I love all the unusual name they use!

@leafsgirl44
I could totally see them using Kendra as a middle or a variant as the middle or even as a first.
I think you totally guessed it that Lauren and Si are going to use a name that relates to rainbows and new beginnings.

I didn’t think Jessa would name her daughter a more normal name. Since she has Spurgeon and Henry Wilberforce. I’m not a fan of the name Ivy but I think Ivy Jane is a cute name. Jessa just keeps surprising us! :slight_smile:

Kendra: I think she and Joe have a more common style. Maybe Daniel if they want a biblical name or Aaron. For a girl I think Grace is a contender (not sure if one of Kendra’s sisters has this name tho). Maybe Elizabeth, Rachel, Eve, Miriam or Abigail (but Abigail is John David’s wife’s name). I’m guessing some common biblical name for the girl.

Lauren: I definitely think they are into more unusual name. Ezra and Milo are great predictions if it’s a boy maybe Elias, Abel, Jonah, or Asher. If it’s a girl then maybe Clara or Poppy or Ada.

Joy-Anna: I could also see Joy and Austin use Ezra for a boy name or Jude, Gabriel, or Malachi (unless that’s what Anna uses). For a girl I’m thinking Genevieve, Eliza, or Ester.

Anna: I’m thinking Matthew, Mia, Micah (might be too close to Michael tho), Mark, Maya, or Martin. I think Mary is going to be the first of it’s a girl (but it might be to close to Meredith) so it’s definitely going to a middle. For a boy I think they’ll use a variant for a middle like Marion or Mario.
