The Seewalds, Part 12: Baby

[SassyPants]

How about Mary?

Why do none of the Duggar girls have the middle name Mary or Annette?

These folks do not use family names with the exception of James, Robert and Michelle.

No Lawrence either. All those damn kids and no Mary or Lawrence?

I am to the point that I think that this child could be named absolutely anything. 

Absolutely Anything Seewald. Could go by Abby for short. Still better than Spurgeon.

So An "S" name.....how about Shalimar? The meaning is   "People with the name Shalimar seek religion & wisdom. They hate doing physical work." I really did not make this up, I looked up Shalimar and this popped up. So the most perfect of all names fora girl could be Shalimar Michelle Seeward. Calling it.

I like that but, seems like Jessa might be too contrary to go with another 'S' name...

Yeah she said that she wasn't having a theme and having another S would seem like a theme. So no S...I think. 

[princessmahina]

Phyllis, maybe, after Phyllis Schlafly. I'm sure they consider her a hero.

Of course, them being who they are, and them having done what they did to Spurgeon, it would probably be just "Schlafly Seewald" which is an S and also too horrible to contemplate.

Hopefully Spurgeon is the Heistheway of the Seewald family and the rest of the kids have comparatively normal names.

I tend to block out Phyllis Schlafly and only think of Phillis Wheatley. But I don't think that either Ben or Jessa would know who she is.

Actually, a nice theme would be naming daughters after female writers who addressed Christian themes. Phillis for Phillis Wheatley, Anne for Anne Bradstreet...

[goldengrove]

Heistheway that poor kid...surely they don't call her that whole thing

No they probably call her Heisthie.

I've seen that name before but  I always read it as Heist-away.  Like some criminal or something.

But I've never been able to read Jinger as Ginger - it's still always rhymes-with-finger when I see it.  Even Jinjer would have been better.

I will always hear Meredith Vienna pronouncing it like "Ringer" hahaha. But she corrected herself. Very Old Today Show. Maybe the expecting #17 or #18 announcement?

Would they go with Aimee or would they use Semple?  

Or would they go with MacPherson. MacPherson would be a horrible name for a girl, so I'm going with that as my guess.

Omg that may be worse than Spurgeon. Rofl.

Beatles, Rolling Stones, etc. for me. Its weird going into the grocery store on senior day and they're playing "I can't get no Satisfaction". 

I occasionally jam out to the overhead songs when at Shop Rite. Does it feel weird? A little, especially when I then hear Guns N Roses on an oldie radio station (& back in the day, I never thought I would).

Just wait until in gets turned into elevator music. Joey'd roll over in his grave.

Yeah that would be as bad and maybe worse than Spurgeon. We may have found the name! [emoji12]

[Mr. Pink]

I think Corrie for a girl (Ten Boom). She seems the type to do a nickname as a full name for a girl.
 

[Gillyweed]

Maybe they'll name a girl Jessa, in honor of the most amazing Duggar there is

MacPherson would have a nickname, Mac, which they already have for Macynzie. But do the Duggars ever care about logic or other people? Nah.

[Pasta]

I refuse to discuss girl names for her. I'm crossing my fingers that they only get boys. "Diedforyoursins" Seewald. They'll call him DD. Oh! Christian Footballlegend Seewald. Herbert Gothard Seewald? Herbi and Spurgi

Vyckie Garrison once pointed out that the only thing keeping the Quiverfull lifestyle afloat was the absolute reliance on the older daughters, who, unlike sons, are groomed for the very purpose. I wonder what will happen if one of the Duggar girls had, like, five sons in a row before they finally got a daughter. What would they do?

I doubt Jessa likes to share anything

Also, don't think any part of Aimee Semple McPherson's name will be used, either, too much weirdness and scandal associated with her...

They'd probably be like the Arndts, they had the boys doing the jobs that normally girls did. They said that Paul the oldest still holds the record for most sibling diaper changes.
So I imagine that that they would adapt.
So we will hope that it's Doolittle Flame Seewald!

Aimee Seewald.... Maybe Middle name Marie in honor of Gma Mary?

Oh, I am so curious now.  I was just in LA and saw a megachurch that was affiliated with her (or at least according to the plaque outside, it was).  Wonder what things are like on Sundays there.

I'd love to visit that church....don't remember the details of the scandal atm, something about she faked a kidnapping and went off with her lover instead...it's been a while, hazy on the details (no, I wasn't there not that old!)...I am sure there were a lot of knees involved, doubtful they would consider naming the kid after such a wicked woman.

Does anyone ever get a weird feeling just from the way that saying a word feels? It's difficult to explain. I feel that way about the word 'moist' and I feel that way about the name 'Spurgeon.' It just feels yucky to me. I'm not really sure how they could possibly choose a name that's worse, but if anyone is up to the challenge it's the Smugwalds.
