United Bates of Names?

I saw article about this family. Like the Duggars, they have a lot of kids and are getting a reality show. These are the kids names according to Wikipedia and I just wanted to know what you berries think of their names :slight_smile: Are they better than the Duggar’s names? [name]Do[/name] you have a favorite? Thanks!

11 [name]Katie[/name] [name]Grace[/name]
12 [name]Jackson[/name] [name]Ezekiel[/name]
13 [name]Warden[/name] [name]Justice[/name]
14 [name]Isaiah[/name] Courage
15 Addallee [name]Hope[/name]
16 [name]Ellie[/name] [name]Bridget[/name]
17 [name]Callie[/name]-[name]Anna[/name] [name]Rose[/name]
18 [name]Judson[/name] [name]Wyatt[/name]
19 [name]Jeb[/name] [name]Colton[/name]

I like some of them, others not so much. My favorite though has to be [name]Jeb[/name] [name]Colton[/name]-not so common, masculine, and has a simultaneous cool guy and cowboy feel <3

I really like [name]Carlin[/name] [name]Brianne[/name]. It’s different yet pretty.
I also have a soft spot for [name]Judson[/name] [name]Wyatt[/name].

8 [name]Trace[/name] Whitfield << I love Whitfield
13 Warden Justice << interesting play on words
18 Judson Wyatt << My favorite!!!

I like [name]Judson[/name] [name]Wyatt[/name] a lot, and agree with you on [name]Jeb[/name] [name]Colton[/name], it’s a total cool guy name, though I wish [name]Jeb[/name] was short for something. [name]Ellie[/name] [name]Bridget[/name] is cute. Is it weird that I like [name]Callie[/name]-[name]Anna[/name] [name]Rose[/name]? It sounds totally cowgirl, but adorable at the same time, however I cannot see it working on anyone older than 7.

I love [name]Judson[/name] [name]Wyatt[/name]!!

[name]Just[/name] seen [name]Jackson[/name] [name]Ezekiel[/name] too, that’s lovely.

I love [name]Judson[/name] and [name]Jeb[/name]!

These parents are much better at naming than [name]Jim[/name] [name]Bob[/name] and [name]Michelle[/name]. I really like these:

[name]William[/name] [name]Lawson[/name]
[name]Trace[/name] Whitfield
[name]Jackson[/name] [name]Ezekiel[/name]
[name]Warden[/name] [name]Justice[/name]
[name]Isaiah[/name] Courage
[name]Judson[/name] [name]Wyatt[/name]
[name]Jeb[/name] [name]Colton[/name]

[name]Isaiah[/name] Courage is definitely my favorite.

My name is [name]Alyssa[/name] [name]Joy[/name]. :slight_smile: I like:

[name]Carlin[/name]
[name]Judson[/name]( is on my list)
[name]Jackson[/name]
[name]William[/name] [name]Lawson[/name]
I kind of like Addallee, but not that spelling.
I also think [name]Callie[/name]-[name]Anna[/name] is cute
[name]Trace[/name]
[name]Tori[/name] [name]Layne[/name](is this a boy or girl? I’ve heard both names on both)

It’s so cool seeing what big families name their children because often it doesn’t fit into a “sib-set” mold at all. I like these names much better than the Duggar’s names…mostly because they don’t all start with the same letter. My favorites are [name]Isaiah[/name] Courage (my fav!), [name]William[/name] [name]Lawson[/name], [name]Judson[/name] [name]Wyatt[/name], [name]Jeb[/name] [name]Colton[/name], and [name]Ellie[/name] [name]Bridget[/name]. The parents definitely got braver with names as they went along. :slight_smile:

I like [name]Ellie[/name] [name]Bridget[/name], but the spelling of Addallee just makes me cringe!

Thy said the double letters represent that she had a second chance in life because after she was born her heart stopped but the doctors were able to save her.

Yeah, these are WAYYYYY better than the Duggars. I love [name]Isaiah[/name] Courage and [name]Warden[/name] [name]Justice[/name]. I have a weakness for Appalachian names. Adorable.

I love the name [name]Lawson[/name] and I think [name]Carlin[/name] is an awesome girl’s name. It is funny that they named their daughter [name]Michael[/name] [name]Christan[/name]. Very obvious [name]Christ[/name] connection , and they call her [name]Michaela[/name], like [name]Michael[/name]-a.

I think I actually prefer the Duggar names.

I think I actually prefer the Duggar names.

Same here. [name]Warden[/name] [name]Justice[/name]? Seriously? That’s pretty tacky.

As separate names I actually prefer the names of the Duggars. They’re all (mostly) very classic, strong and stable. As a group of siblings it’s obviously quite ridiculous, but I don’t find the [name]Bates[/name] that much better. I think they’re very mismatched stylistically. However, individual names I like a lot:

[name]Alyssa[/name] [name]Joy[/name]
[name]Katie[/name] [name]Grace[/name]
[name]Judson[/name] [name]Wyatt[/name]

Not a big fan of the Duggars’ whole J theme, so pretty much anything would probably seem better to me :slight_smile:

I like [name]Warden[/name] and [name]Judson[/name] of the Bateses. They don’t really seem to have a naming “style,” though, which is a bit distracting to me.
