They have a film crew, and now a son Crew.

Ella Rose and Emmie Kay are OK, but a little boring. Duke and Drake are really ugly and Crew is the worst one yet. Like naming a child Staff or Cast.

Crew makes me think of crew cuts.Is Chip's name supposed to be short for something?
vote up1
It's not; his given name is Chip Carter Gaines.

Of their kids names, I would rather be called Crew, but all their kids names are better than being called Chip. For a little boy, it might be cool to be called Drake, like a dragon, but it sounds terrible with Duke.

It's gag-worthy, but I honestly kind of like it more than Duke and Drake. Just goes to show how much I hate Duke and Drake.

I hate it. It sounds terrible. There are some nouns that sound nice and make good names. Crew is not one of them.
I'm pretty neutral when it comes to the other children's name. They are annoyingly matchy but the names themselves aren't awful. I quite like Emmie spelt Emmy as a full name.
I can't really understand how anyone can feel like Crew is the best name of ALL the names in the world to give to a child. I mean Crew?! CREW. The more I say it the more I hate it.

I don't get the appeal of Crew at all. I mean, it's a word that doesn't even refer to a single person; by definition a crew is a group of people.
Their other kids' name suck as well. Duke is a dog name, and paired with Drake it's matchy-matchy and also must remind our British friends of ducks and drakes, the stone-skipping game. Emmie and Ella are likewise matchy-matchy and Emmie is babyish.

Ella Rose is nice. As for Emmie Kay couldn’t they of just called her Emma or Emily, Emmie seems very childish.
Drake and Duke could both work okay-ish on there own (I’m not a big fan of either.) but they go terribly as brothers.
Crew is the worst name on this list. I can’t exactly say I like their taste in names. I also feel like they were going for a EE, DD, CC theme and that’s a pet peeve of mine.

Yuck. Well, Joanna Gaines has questionable taste in general to me, so I guess I shouldn't be surprised. It's the name equivalent of some rusty ass piece of farm equipment “decor piece” stuck on the wall of some suburban house, completely stripped of context, cutesy, random, and confusing.

Agreed completely. It’s tacky and garish. Honestly painful to me.

Right? lol

Haha, yes! It really fits quite well with their taste.

Someone on Reddit said they should've named him Chiplap after their obsession with using shiplap :P

Didn't even know they were having another. Crew is pure ugly and by far the worst name of the bunch.
vote up1
Definitely not a fan.It's almost like they said, "Okay, what do we name the newest in our crew? Wait, that's it! Crew!"

^ ThisMaybe they were trying to decide which member of their crew to name their child after and decided to honor the whole crew.

I wish it was Jay Crew.

It’s hard to see Crew as a name. It just seems like a random mass noun to me.
vote up1
Now they have to have another one named Crow or Claw or something to complete the theme.
I am surprised they didn't do another D??ke name but overall, nothing special. I see Crew (and Krew) quite a bit in BAs. I like it better than any of the other kids names honestly.
