While I’m not a fan of the Duggar family in general, as a name nerd, I am always curious to see what they will name their babies!
[name_f]Jinger[/name_f] and [name_m]Jeremy[/name_m] already have [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] [name_f]Nicole[/name_f] and [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] [name_f]Jo[/name_f]. We do not know yet if the baby is a boy or girl.
They seem to like vintage, classic, yet uncommon girl names with virtuous meanings such as as “good fortune; happy” and “bearer of good news”.
I’m not sure what they will choose if they have a boy, but I think it will be a similar style to their girls’ names.
Girls:
[name_f]Lydia[/name_f]
[name_f]Arabella[/name_f] (love the meaning “yielding to prayer” for them
[name_f]Aurelia[/name_f]
Beatrix/Beatrice
[name_f]Clementine[/name_f]
[name_f]Audrey[/name_f]
[name_f]Clara[/name_f]
[name_f]Vera[/name_f]
[name_f]Winifred[/name_f]
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] (may be too popular for their taste but it means “free” and [name_f]Jinger[/name_f] wrote a book called Becoming [name_m]Free[/name_m] Indeed)
Interesting! [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] & [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] go together so well, they’re practically equivalent in my mind. It’s hard to match that but “Bridgerton but make it religious” is sort of my though - they’re vintage but have an underlying virtuous flair.
[name_f]My[/name_f] ideas (not much thought into this yet so be warned I may pop back):
[name_f]Felicity[/name_f] & [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] are lovely together, and I totally agree with the vintage/religious description of their style. I think a third sibling will definitely have a name with lots of meaning – I’m really loving your guess of [name_f]Winifred[/name_f], the style & meaning are perfect!
Girls with positive meanings:
[name_f]Celeste[/name_f] (heavenly)
[name_f]Helena[/name_f] (torch, shining light)
[name_f]Eleonara[/name_f] (bright, shining one)
[name_f]Caroline[/name_f] (free man)
[name_f]Mildred[/name_f] (gentle strength)
[name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] (heart, daughter of the sea)
[name_f]Diana[/name_f] (divine)
[name_f]Annalise[/name_f] (grace, pledged to God)
Boys with positive meanings:
[name_m]Xavier[/name_m] (new house)
[name_m]Theodore[/name_m] (gift of God)
[name_m]Benedict[/name_m] (blessed)
[name_m]Franklin[/name_m] (free man)
[name_m]Isaac[/name_m] (laughter)
[name_m]Edmund[/name_m] (fortunate protector)
[name_m]Gabriel[/name_m] (God is my strength)
[name_m]Tobias[/name_m] (God is good)
Lots of good suggestions so far! I think [name_f]Lydia[/name_f], [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f], [name_f]Clara[/name_f], [name_m]Theodore[/name_m], [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f], [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f], [name_f]Susannah[/name_f], [name_m]Shepherd[/name_m], [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m], and [name_f]Annalise[/name_f] feel very plausible.
Other thoughts:
[name_f]Juliet[/name_f] / [name_f]Juliette[/name_f] (may be hesitant about a “J” name, though)
[name_f]Adelaide[/name_f]
[name_f]Lucia[/name_f] / [name_f]Lucille[/name_f] / [name_f]Lucy[/name_f]
[name_f]Dorothea[/name_f]
[name_f]Colette[/name_f]
[name_f]Margot[/name_f]
[name_f]Marigold[/name_f]
[name_f]Miriam[/name_f]
[name_f]Rosalie[/name_f]
I have no ideas that haven’t already been said but can I just say that I am unreasonably excited for this name announcement? Not a fan of the Duggars or their beliefs/actions at all, but [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] and [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] are absolutely divine and I have (almost) full faith that they will name #3 something incredible.
I would like to see them go on the nose with [name_m]Christian[/name_m] or [name_f]Christiana[/name_f] dependent on gender. They could also go the hollywood route with [name_m]Cruz[/name_m] or [name_f]Sunday[/name_f]
[name_m]Malachai[/name_m] or [name_f]Francesca[/name_f] are my other thoughts
