[Opinions] Re: Another Duggar BA
in reply to a message by Bitey
Felicity is a bit of a mouthful as well as prissy, but it's all right - especially when compared to Mackynzie, ugh. Nicole is dated to me, because it's a '70s name in my country. I would have preferred to see something like Noelle instead, which would also have been a nice religious reference. But I understand that they gave her Nicole as a middle name in honour of Jinger, which is great. Nice to see the mother being honoured, which I imagine doesn't happen all that often in fundamentalist families like these.
Of the Duggar grandchildren, my favourite names are Henry, Samuel and Garrett. I'm interested to see what the name will be of the first-born of Josiah and Lauren (probably won't be long before there's a pregnancy announcement). The next child of Jill and Derek as well, because there are rumours that Jill is currently pregnant (as she has stopped showing her full body on Instagram) but hasn't announced it yet so as to not take away from the happiness of Jinger and Jeremy with their first-born. As such, I wouldn't be surprised if in a month or so from now, there's a pregnancy announcement from the Dillard family.

It’s actually not uncommon in the South, whether you’re a fundamentalist or not, for the mother’s maiden name to be passed down as a first or middle name, especially to sons. At least that’s how it used to be, to keep the mother’s name going through later generations.
