Has anyone ever wondered how what they would name their personal quiver if they decided to go quiverfull? 

I got bored having no Duggar (or own) offspring to name at the moment that I askes my husband to come up with names for our hypothetical 12 children 😅

Yes, I can’t get past about 6. I am so picky about names. My own name has caused me such growing pains that I would only put a few on my own kids. 

Not on purpose but many align with British royalty. Which is a shame because that makes the recent kiddo ones more popular. I love Elizabeth and Katherine though. Timeless and so many nicknames can be had depending on personality.

[Screamapillar 14,333]

First I want to clarify that these are not the kind of names that I gave my actual children, who I love too much to saddle with horrible monickers....

First child's name would be a tryndy name beginning with A, second child's name a tryndy name beginning with B, and so on and so on. Middle names would be obscure Biblical names. And yes, I have decided upon all 52 possible names (one for each letter and sex, assuming I made it to 26 kids and was the envy of the fundie world) while bored at work ages ago. 😂

I already have six first and middle names (Middle names that are names from both sides of my family tree) picked out for my hypothetical children. It had to be six to evenly pick from both sides of my family. But can easily come up with seven more.

I’m sure I can do this if I don’t have to involve Mr Way. We had so much trouble naming the one kid we have I think trying to name a whole quiver would drive us to divorce.

To send myself to sleep, I rename the duggar kids, That is I come up with 19 names that I would want my hypothetical 19 children to be called. I rarely make it to the little girls before I am off to sleep. It is super hard thinking of 19 names. 

[JermajestyDuggar 120,950]

I wouldn’t go with a naming letter theme if I went quiverful. I would just go with names I like. However it’s possible I would make sure their names started with all different letters. That way I could easily label their belongings with just one letter.

[singsingsing 107,216]

I've always been kind of obsessed with names and I used to have lists of my favourites. If I had 19 kids myself I'd just use all my favourites. No theme or anything.

Someone else does this?! I have literally written out lists of 19 or 20 names all starting with the same letter to try and put myself to sleep. I'd write other lists of names following other parameters too. I mostly just do crossword puzzles now.

I just use my favourites too. (though i do like a lot of j names for boys lol)

My problem is that i can't work out what order I would use them in. ie favourites first even though they don't go with a middle (family name) I really want to use. 

When I had to name my baby, I thought she could possibly be my only one so I wanted my mums name in there. So a middle name I wanted to go with the first name I had got scrapped. 

So know that I have ninteen to name leaves me to leave some in reserve that I if in the  hypothetical real situation of 19 kids (and not knowing I would have more) would do.

If that makes sense?

[anjulibai 17,045]

I don't think I'd use a theme if I had a quiver, either, though I do sort of have a theme going right now with my 2 boys (just a coincidence names of Kings of England and Scotland). 

[PlentyOfJesusFishInTheSea 2,053]

When I first started lurking here (when dinosaurs roamed, etc.) there was a thread on how you'd name the Duggar kids. Let's resurrect the idea! I'm going to try first names in alphabetical order and middle names in reverse alphabetical.

Josh --> Andrew Zachary

Jana --> Bethany Yvonne

John --> Charles Xavier (I'm gonna assume they are too pure to know about Professor X!)

Jill --> Danielle Wilhelmina

Jessa --> Emily Violet (nickname "Violent")

Jinger --> Francine Una

Joseph --> Garret Thomas

Josiah --> Henry Stephen

Joy-Anna --> Ivy Roberta

Jedediah --> Joshua Quincy (I assume Josh was their fave J name as they used it first)

Jeremiah --> Kaleb Phillip (I agree that Caleb should have a C, but this family thought Jinger was OK!)

Jason --> Lyle Oliver

James --> Matthew Nolan

Justin --> Neil Mordecai

Jackson --> Owen Leonard

Johanna --> Priscilla Kayleigh

Jennifer --> Quinn Johanna (I thought Johanna best matched Quinn out of all the girl names they've used)

Jordyn-Grace --> Robyn-Grace Irena

Josie --> Stephanie Helen

 

I attempted to be like the Duggars with some kreative spelling and using a few names that sound similar, and some family names. I think my taste is a bit more old-fashioned though!

[JermajestyDuggar 120,950]

Alice, Beatrice, Cecelia, Dimitri, Edwin, Finn, Georgianna, Henry, Irene, Josephine, Kathrine, Louisa, Malcolm, Nora, Oliver, Peter, Quinn, Rhett, Simon, Theodore, Ulric, Vivian, William, Xavier, Yves,  Zinnia

[neurogirl 10,127]

Hmm..looking at the names I like, the girls names would end with "a" and the boys names would end with "el". And I swear I'm not Jill!

But lets fundie it up. All middle names will be virtues. The Duggars named 10 boys and 10 girls with the J theme so I will do the same. 

Girls: Kiera Faith, Lara Grace, Clara Mercy (maybe those two will have to be twins), Ella Hope, Terra Constance, Cecelia Temperance, Louisa Patience, Amelia Praise, Virginia Chastity (OMG), and Anna-Joy (see what I did there)!

Boys: Gabriel Honor, Daniel Valor, Ezekiel Courage, Samuel Revelation, Michael Redemption (not really virtue names but close and I like them), Emmanuel Truth, Nathaniel Diligence, Lionel Perseverance, Raphael Justice, and Israel Peace (because I can't think of anymore normal ones!) 

I mean...the list was inspired by the kinds of names I like and uh...I actually like a fair number of these. Don't really want to press a kid with a virtue name but yeah I like these more than I thought. Mostly the girls.

I like writing stories, which means characters to name. I tend to have a lot of female characters in my stories, as I find that there are way more girl names that I like rather than boy ones. I know that naming any real life kids I have in the future will be more difficult as I’d have to take a partner’s opinions into account. So when I name story characters I get to use the names I like!!

 I also play The Sims so there are naming opportunities there too. 

[Markie 5,955]

Here I go: Amanda Faith, Benjamin Prosper, Constance Grace, David Pecan, Emma Joy, Francis Drake, Georgiana Darcy, Henry Mather, Isabella Hope, Jacob Calvin, Katherine Joyce, Lawrence Spurgeon, Madeline Verity, Noble Hunter, Ophelia Mercy, Paul Fortitude, Quinlee Devine, Robert Wilberforce, Sarah Patience, Terence Stanley, Uma Love, Victor Elliot, Wendy Sophia, Xavier Francis, Yolanda Anne, Zachariah Resolve!

So do I. I think that's what got me into stories. I can name everyone and create their personalities and backstory. Its really fun.

Right now one of my Sims 3 families is “fundie”, and the parents’ naming scheme was alphabetical: Andrew, Bethany, Christopher, Diana, Elijah, Francesca (not strictly Biblical but female of Francis), Gabriel and Hannah. Andrew has three kids of his own, and I went all M names after his mom: Matilda, Morgan and M-something (not actually played them for a bit, I forgot the other girl’s name). 

[anjulibai 17,045]

Well I guess I'll do Kings and Queens of England and Scotland with Greek middle names:

Boys:
Henry Leonidas
William Odysseos 
James Platon
George Aristride
Edward Nikolaos
Richard Apollodoros
Charles Heron
Robert Diogenes
Alexander Lysandros
Alfred Diodoros
 

Girls:
Elizabeth Athenais
Matilda Hypatia
Anna Eudoxia
Victoria Antigone
Margaret Demitria
Katherine Eirene
Isabella Melpomene 
Charlotte Helene
Eleanor Olympia
Mary Eurydike

[PlentyOfJesusFishInTheSea 2,053]

TIL that Heron was an ancient Greek engineer and not just the name of a gangly bird.  I really like those birds; my bf's last name ends in N so I don't think this'll work for me but I can dream!

[SorenaJ 5,699]

@SorenaJ How I wish JB and Michelle had contacted you for inspiration regarding J-names!

[IReallyAmHopewell 5,852]

I think John David and Abby will be next. I'm missing the whole naming "theme" thing. Two possibles for them:

Name boys for great aviators!  Chuck Yeager Duggar, for example! lol

Seriously, it's time one of these couples follows Joshy/Anna or her sister Prissy/TFDW. I'll go with the later:

Jenna Davina Duggar

Jerusha Dawn Duggar

Julia Deanna Duggar

Andrew Garret Duggar

Anthony George Duggar

Aaron Gordon Duggar

Or for 'Siah and Lauren,  they could go with "S" for boys and L for girls--both have M as a middle initial

Steven Maxwell Duggar (couldn't resist!)

Seth Martin Duggar

Shane Matthew Duggar

Libby Michelle Duggar

Lindsey Marissa Duggar

Lorelei Mary Duggar

 

 

[Jatalie1996 1,078]

I guess now is as good a place and time as any to admit this. I made up my own imaginary fundie family for storytelling purposes, and just happened to name them alphabetically!

Amanda Grace (who has four children of her own: Lydia Joy, Caleb Michael, Norah Grace, and Clara Faith)

Bryan Alexander

Christian David

Derek Joseph

Elizabeth Kate/Faith Marie (twins)

Gabriel James

Hunter Matthew

Isabella Hope

Jackson Christopher

Kylie Renee

Lucy Joy

Madelyn Rose

Nicholas Paul

Seriously, I could probably name a whole network of fundie families using name schemes. I'm obsessed with baby names!

[habert 3,590]

If I had a quiver and I was married to the idea of having a theme I’d do the alphabet backwards.
