My cousin was upset that we named our daughter Kathryn, after my grandmother. She had just had a baby and had named her Kaitlin, which to me is a totally different name. Except when we both did the nickname thing, which indeed was the same (Katie). We only see each other maybe once every five years. I don't think it matters, especially for second cousins. I do feel bad that it bugged her though and had I known it would we could've just picked a different name. 

I have a similar story. My cousin and I both have a Catherine. It’s a family name. Her daughter goes by Catherine and mine by Cate. We haven’t seen them in years. So not a huge deal.  I named my daughter first and it never bothered me that she chose Catherine as well. We both love the same grandmother and both wanted to honor her when naming our daughters.

We can still think of her as Miss Vanjie in our heads... or here.

Just like Spurgeon will always be Spongebob, I will always think of her as Miss Vanjie. Miss. Vanjie. Miss... Vaaaanjie

Someone on reddit figured out how to get into Jinger and Jeremy's new password protected merch website, and they posted a bunch of screenshots. Lots of bible quotes explaining the inspiration behind the designs - clearly there is no greater calling for the word of God than shilling products.

(Apologies and credit to AshDuke on reddit)

Are these products meant to compliment the podcast?  Like if you're not wearing an overpriced jesus hat and burning an overpriced jesus candle then you're not getting the full benefits of our jesus podcast?

The same people who want a pendant Kody designed for Christine from Our Sister Wives Closet?

I just took a peek. It's way, way worse than I imagined. 

For $10 I can go to the dollar store and get two knit caps, two baseball caps, two hair bows, two whatever the other hair thingy is, and two Jesus candles.
Score!

And we have it confirmed...

While Jeremy may have heard of Longfellow's poem Evangeline about the expulsion of the French Canadians from Acadia and how Evangeline sought her love Gabriel ,  I doubt that any of the Duggars have.

They went the pretentious route. Not surprised.

Is 'Ee-vanj-ah-line' a common variation? I've never heard that before. I've only ever heard -leen.

The Emmylou Harris version of the song “Evangeline” keeps going through my head when the baby is discussed, but that’s not how it’s pronounced. Funny that the person who asked didn’t even guess the correct pronunciation.

Thank you for sharing this-I actually knew nothing about and it was amazing to read about

I know both an Evangeline and an Angeline and they both pronounce them with a -line at the end

In their latest podcast apparently Jordyn Duggar is their guest? It’s bad enough Jinger going on about her ‘single’ years, heaven knows what wisdom Jordyn brings to the table.

How to find solace in god when you are overlooked and forgotten? How to prepare for the inevitable lack of choice in your own future? How to start praying for the perfect husband and lots of home birth babies? How to hide sadness? How to stand out in a crowd? How to deal with the loss of your sister mom?

My prediction is that it will be something like the kids in Jesus Camp- you're never too young to be a god warrior, how to start conversations about Jesus, how to be strong in your faith when your peers watch Harry Potter.

Here's a recap of how the episode went.

Lots of people worried about what Jordyn is being taught about consent- Jeremy bribes her into doing the podcast, which she initially said no to, then he ignores her when she says she doesn't want to be filmed. Guess that Very-Special-Sexual-Abuse-Education episode Michelle filmed with Jessa and Jill failed to teach the family anything.

[indianabones]

Probably should have written prevention instead of education, upon rereading. Well, I still think the whole thing was TLC'S way of covering the asses after the Josh scandals and make way for Jill and Jessa: Counting On to air.

Why was Jeremy so damn fixated on Jordyn? Surely one of the other kids or older M kids would have been more willing.

@EmiSue I think it was because she had come with Michelle and he was restricted in who he could get as Jinger was due any day.

Don't forget all that training to be a future homemaker. Oops, my bad. The Duggars don't actually do that.

It just occurred to me why did Jordyn go with M to LA and not Johanna? Jinger was Johanna's sister mom, I remember video of Johanna holding Joy's hand while laboring w/ Gideon, so she's attended part of at least 1 birth.  Instead of going to LA to watch Felicity she went to OK w/ Jenni & the Forsyth's. 

So if M had Jordyn, Joy had Johanna & Jenni, who was watching Josie? Jana went to LA too, was she left w/ Anna?
