I don’t think anything can top Spurgeon. Poor kid. Especially when his brother is named Henry. Henry Wilberforce but still. Henry. And Ivy. Too bad Jessa and Ben don’t realize I’m far more interested in whether Jill’s changed her nose piercing to a different stud than them procreating yet again. I think "Spurgeon" was thir attempt at being cool millennials and it fell painfully flat. I wonder how many kids they'll go for. I don't think Ben is from a huge family. I'm wondering if they're going to move ever. They're in that really small house that Josh and Anna were in. I think it might be only 2 bedrooms. I know it's just 1 bathroom.

I was looking for someone’s obituary and stumbled upon this man. There are dozens of them! EDIT - the pic is cut off but I assure you his name is listed in order. First name: Spurgeon. Last name: Johns. EDItEDIT - as he is a Jr, then there is a Spurgeon Sr and a he has a son who is a III. Amazing!

Charles Spurgeon was a very well known Evangelical preacher from the 1800s. That's who the kid is named after, they said so when the announced the name at his birth.

Couldn't they have used charles? It wouldn't have been such an obvious naming-after, then, and they would lose Evangelical Brownie Points.

Apparently others have used Spurgeon as a first name, too. I find this fascinating. I wonder about its used and history since it’s not the most pleasant sounding word.

I always thought the Spurgeon was not only because of the minister, but also because Jessa had a thing for Moody Spurgeon MacPherson from the Anne of Green Gables series (who was also named after the minister).

I felt she just had Evy in 2020 but it was 2019. I do have a feeling Joe and Kendra will give Jim-Bob and Michelle a run for their money since I think Kendra is only 20/21.

Kendra's mom is also pregnant and they were doing maternity pics together.
I would never make it as a fundie for many reasons, but belly pics with my mom is high on the list.

My mom had a major fantasy about doing this (I was raised fundie). My older sister and I both didn't like the idea. Thankfully, it didn't happen. But, the age gap between me and the youngest sib is larger than the age between sib and my first kid.

I saw a wedding picture on FB of Justin and his wife. He looked so young so I googled him and he’s only 18? 😳 I don’t follow the Duggar’s too closely but yikes

Yes. He turned 18 the day before they announced the engagement. So they were courting and most likely got engaged when he was 17. Fun fact: she turns 20 today. So they basically planned the pandemic wedding for the day before her birthday, so that they would both still be teenagers.

Justin proposed on his 18th birthday I think, but it was rumored they were already engaged when he was 17. Poor baby. Literally.

I looked at the family's Wikipedia page and it looks like he has a few older brothers that are still single.

I think they got a lot of flack when they announced the engagement, because of the ages. 18 and 19 versus 18 and 20 probably seems less controversial to them.

His wife looks like she’s in her early 30s I was thinking the same thing. While he looks about 12. Getting married just so they can fuck. It’s the Duggar way.

She looks significantly older than him though she doesn’t look that old. He just looks like a baby. So sad. They should be dating for years before they got to this point (at those ages).
Also Isn’t there already a Brooklyn in the family? I thought someone else had one but maybe not.
