Spurge thinks his parents are hilarious!

At least someone does!

Just had a thought. A friend of mine had twins, unknown. She had regular pre-natal care, but no ultrasound because there was no medical reason. Funny thing is, her dad, who was a GP did both the pre-natal care and the home birth. In that particular rural area GPs do a lot of home births, and though I would not opt for my dad, her choice was either him or a strange man. So I understood.

Then I thought of the Duggar girlwomen. They are not so unlucky after all. Even though they have to put up with M at their bedside, at least they are not delivered by JB.

They don't need to. Jill already owns one.

My sister offered to let me borrow the one she bought during her pregnancy. I said no. I'd be too tempted to use it a lot and it would send me into a panic attack if I wasn't able to find it. Luckily, Velocibaby has been consistently cooperative during ultrasounds and when they've used the Doppler (my Doctors use it at each appointment to ensure she is doing ok - that's just how they do things for every patient at their practice.)

I'm hoping it's something relatively "normal", but unintentionally hysterical for us. Like Marcus Anthony Duggar was. It's a lovely name, but the historical and cultural references are hysterical.

Love the initials too--MAD.  Poor little guy!

Well he is married now. He doesn't need to look good.

Isn't Ben into name of prostestant theologists or theorists?

Then I have the perfect name:

Martin Luther (not the civil rights guy, I mean the founder of the prostestant church!)

or Calvin (last name of another early figure in the protestant reformation)

And I think if you consider Spurgeon, Luther or Calvin don't sound soo bad in comparison, Martin would be a cute regular name.

If it's a girl: Martina or Calvina, or just Luther also.

two brothers named spurgeon and luther or calvin, hm,... not so bad.

funny thing: luther is a german last name, as is seewald.

Well, both Martin Seewald and Calvin Seewald are perfectly nice, relatively normal names. If Spurge is anything to go by, I'm guessing they'll be middle names and we'll get a totally bonkers first name.

My brother made that mistake when he had to write an essay for religion class in (catholic) high school. He wrote the whole essay on martin luther king jr and thd teacher was like "uh wrong guy" and gave him more time to fix it.

I looked up surnames of famous Calvinist / Baptist theologians looking for a hint at what Seewald Spawn #2 will be named. Shortlisted names (after removing the normal ones) included:

1. Whitefield
2. Knox
3. Wycliffe
4. Leland
5. Roloff

I didn't bother looking up girls names because there are no famous historical female preachers (obviously). I assume that if it's a girl they'll just name it "Syndy" (Cindy with an S) or something Jinger-esque along those lines.
 

I think Leland is the full first name of Lee Adama from BSG, which means a) Leland Seewald would have a perfectly normal nickname to fall back on, and every time I heard the name I'd think of evil sci-fi.

True story: my MIL wanted us to name our kid Leland if she'd been a boy. Her reasoning: "You have to think of how it sounds on the phone! And his little friends could call him Lee!" Of course I wouldn't do that to any kid, but yes, it is better than Spurgeon.

Lelend (spelled this way) is my nephews name.

Oh, maybe it isn't as out there as I thought! I have a mental image of "Leland" that is inconsistent with a small child. I chalked it up to MIL's habit of saying strange things to try to get a rise out of me. Sorry if I offended.

[Audrey2]

I'm enough of a nerd that  I'd like to see a child inadvertently named after Leland Stanford, a major player in the Central Pacific Railroad (the railroad that started in California and came east, meeting the Union Pacific at Promontory Point, Utah to form the Transcontinental Railroad.) He was also president of the Southern Pacific. He and his wife founded Stanford Junior University, which became Stanford University. Sadly, I don't ever see a Duggar going there. 

 

(My Dad was a model railroader, and I live Stephen Ambrose's Nothing Else Like It In the World.)

Doesn't offend me! not my favorite, you should see how they spelled their daughters name...it makes me batty!

I'm not sure anything could be worst than Spurgeon but maybe you know they will find something truly horrible. We are saying nothing could be worse than Spurgeon and then they will name their new child. Then it will be WTF or it will be totally normal and we will say "Poor Spurgeon."

Really? I would down vote this, not down voting you, you understand, but Jessa. Anyway, I decided when I first joined never to down vote anyone. So here is my reaction, again not at you, nst.
