C
ReplyDelete"C"
ReplyDeleteWhich we did. All 6 of them. Why? Because we started with the first one. Then the second one without really thinking about it....and so we decided they should ALL have it. It's fun and unique and we get lot's of questions about it.
Our last name also happens to start with a C!
Let me tell you....it was SO easy to label the children's clothing for school. We just passed the clothing down in ages and I never had to change the initials on the shoes or clothes. HA ha. Easy Peasy.
M
ReplyDeleteL!
ReplyDeleteLeon, Les, Lorelei, possibly Liam, "Elle" (technically not an L but should still qualify.. ;) )
i would choose the letter m or the letter r
ReplyDeleteMy husband and I both have our first name start with a D and sometimes we have opened up each others post because they dont add the different middle initial, so if I named all our kids the same letter I guess I would continue the D, but I would be sure to have a different middle initial for each and differing from my husbands and mine.
ReplyDeleteProbably with an R
ReplyDelete(B) My two children are Brenden and Blakeleigh. (B) has a lot of popular names. Brian(my husbands name), Brandi(my name), Brooke, Brad, Brittany, Bethany, Brock. I could go on forever. Haha.
ReplyDeleteM
ReplyDeleteR
ReplyDeleteRachel

Rosemary

I would want to pick j because my name starts with j, but I don't to be a Duggar copycat:)
ReplyDeleteI'd have to choose different ones for the boys and girls... I like 'A' for girls, but I'm not really sure on boys... Maybe 'P', after my dad... so many choices!!
ReplyDeleteI don't know if I could only stick to one letter! For girls I would choose A and for boys B.
ReplyDelete*Alaina*
In our house of 8 children and counting.......the girls names all start w the letter k. There are 4 girls and 4 boys. The boys names letter are k,c,n,and I, as we could think of enough boy names we liked that started we k.
ReplyDeletei guess it would depend how many kids i would have. but probuably k or j.
ReplyDeletelily and ellie did you know the bates had a miscarriage? it's on their website. harmony
ReplyDeleteC
ReplyDeleteor R
:)
K sounds all nine of mine x
ReplyDeleteprobably C
ReplyDeleteIt would be A, C, K, or S. My favorite would probably be A!
ReplyDeleteC
ReplyDeleteIf I had to stick to one letter, I would probably choose "L". I doubt that I would/will stick with one though, I like variety. :) In my family, there are two girls and two boys, who all have the letter "J", but I find it kind of interesting that none of the 19 Duggar kids have any of our names! Jonathan, Janine (Janni), Jarrett, and Jacquelyn. Thanks for the wonderful blog!
ReplyDeletei would choose j or c :)
ReplyDeleteAll our first names start with K - we didn't really think about it when choosing a name for our first child - it just happened. When searching a name for our second child it was sure that we wouldn't leave him out and so we were just looking for names starting with K.
ReplyDeleteN
ReplyDeleteThats easy ,L, Luke and Leia!!!
ReplyDeleteI wanted to choose A,B,C... but we already have a Jacob, and a Wyatt, so it's too late. Lol, guess we'll have to do this with our animals? ;) Who knows what we'll name the next baby if we're lucky enough to have more!
ReplyDeleteProbably either J or A. I love the names Ashley, Azlynn, Athena, and Aaron.
ReplyDeleteN!!
ReplyDeleteProbably either J or A. I love the names Ashley, Azlynn, Athena, and Aaron.
ReplyDeleteThe letter W or Y. I like to be different. :)

I find it interesting that the Duggars haven't used my name, Joanna. They have a Joy-Anna and a Johanna, but not Joanne or Joanna. My names first name is Janet, my aunt's Joanne, I have an uncle Joe, Aunt Janette, and a cousin Jody. None of these names have been used by the Duggars.
ReplyDeleteI mostly definitly would us the letter "J". I want to in fact and have two little girls named Jordan and Josie. Boys, my fabvorite J names are Jeremiah and Johnathan, but I also love the names Michael and David.
Joanna....my husband and our son both are named Michael John, it has both of your names together.
DeleteI would choose the letter "Z"
ReplyDeleteI only have one child and I am too old to have more. But when I was pregnant I decided I would never have children with names that started all with the same letter. Especially with mail, that might be confusing. And not everbody uses the next initial(s). By the way, my son is called Reuben.
ReplyDeleteGreetings, Irene
(Netherlands)
I chose L. And like the Duggars I didn't do it on purpose. I didn't want anyone to be left out! I have Luke, Levi, Londyn, and LillyAnne. I have a few more names up my sleeve too...Liberty and Layla for a girl and Lawson and Lex for a boy. :)
ReplyDelete"A"
ReplyDeleteMy husband and I already have our names picked out for our first children "Aiden" and "Aubree" we aren't necessarily trying to get pregnant but we aren't trying to stop it. All in the lords time is how we choose to look at it.
Really difficult question - I could probably do lots of different letters. My kids are Jennah, Gavin, Braden, Mariah, and Carter - all different letters. I think if I tried I could have went all J, B, M, or C, but not all G. Don't know what I could have done for the girls with that - maybe Gennevieve? Can't think of another, or any other good boys names. I'm sure they are out there though :)
ReplyDeleteProbably a C or A because there are lots of names that have a different sound at the beginning instead of the same Ju or Mm or Ss
ReplyDeleteR o L? Maybe E.
ReplyDeleteK - Love K names!
ReplyDeleten for girls and i dont know what i would do for boys
ReplyDeleteI like A names:
ReplyDeleteAmaya (means night rain)
Avia (means bird like)
Aven (mountain, a plant)
Ayla (moon like)
Avari (bird like, from the sky)
Aurora (linked to the northern lights)
I like the link to nature they all have. The meanings are a constant reminder of the important, natural, non-materialistic things people often lose sight of.
Anjanette not a common name at all only 1 other in the whole usa nickname angie. But its 3 names put together an. Jan. Anette..
DeleteI would do s!
ReplyDeleteMine are named:
ReplyDelete~ Addison Jordon
~ Alyssa Janelle
~ Alexander Jerrard
And if it were possible, I would definitely have many more Blessings and continue with the same initials. Praying for grandchildren though...would be fun to see my kids continue the tradition:)
I really like J names! I love the names Josiah, James, Justin, Jackson, Jordan, and Jessa. But I also like C names and R names.
ReplyDeleteI Like A,K,T and J names
ReplyDeleteA. But then I already did that.
ReplyDeleteR,A,M,C,K,J,B!!!
ReplyDelete.....Erika.....
I didn't want to use all the same letter when naming our children. Both my husband and I agreed that we wanted to use Bible names for each of our children's first names and a family name for their middle name.
ReplyDeleteWe have a Joshua, Ruth, Hannah, Jonathan, Elijah, and Elisabeth.
I guess if we had gone with one letter it would have probably been a "J" or an "E". There are a lot of" J" names in the Bible. :-)
B or M names
ReplyDeleteE
ReplyDeleteL.
ReplyDeleteMy son's name is Liam.

ReplyDeleteLily and Ellie
ReplyDeleteI was wondering if you gals could maybe do a before and after of the duggars.
Like a picture when they first appeared on the show or how they looked in the first few specials and then one of the recent pictures.
Please consider this.
Z why be normal...lol...cool names could be made with the letter z and who can really say there name starts with z...
ReplyDeleteI really like names beginning with X or O. I'd choose one of those two letters, or perhaps I would alternate between X and O.
ReplyDeleteI have 8 kids and the oldest 2 start with an A, next 2 are M,s, than 2 S's, and 2 J's...we are expecting are 9th baby in Feb. And I'm thinking about going with L!
ReplyDeleteMy line up goes like this: Alexander, Andrew, Makaela, Madison, Samantha, Sophia, Jonathan, Josephine
M or c
ReplyDeleteI don't know.. I know I couldn't stick any one letter. In my family we have an accidental theme with middle names of me and my sisters. The oldest one's middle name is Zsanene (a soft "sh"- "neen"). My middle name is Jolene. And my twin sister's middle name is Rene.
ReplyDeleteI think "A" would be easiest, but I really like the letter "S" for some unknown reason.
ReplyDeleteProbably "M".

We chose not to go with a these, but I did want to name my kids with J's. My oldest is Jamin ,and my next is Kena,I wanted Jena instead.... the next two are Lawsen and Weston,and I really wanted to do the J thing and go with Justice and Jathan. THen our last one would have been Jocelyn instead of Avalon.... BUt sometimes I'm glad we didn't do that to them. lol

ReplyDeleteI do not know thats hard! I really like the Duggars names alot! I would have to wait until i get married to the man God has for me and see what his first letter of his name is and go from there! :)
ReplyDeleteGod bless!

ReplyDeleteHuuumm... I'm not sure what letter I would chose, because I like so many names and they all start with the different letters (LetÃcia, Inês, Marcos, CecÃlia, etc). But if I had to, I think I would probably chose letter A or J, because they are the initials of my name and my husband's name (Andrea and Julio).
ReplyDeleteUh,probably R's or J's. Theirs alot more of them!
ReplyDeleteMy oldest name starts with a c. I gave my husband a choice of all c names or alphabetical. We went alphabetical. C,d, e, f, g and h. I wanted 26 1 for each letter of the alphabet. But I don't carry well and.we found out boys cost a lot to feed.
ReplyDeleteI am not sure if I would pick a beginning letter. For the boys' names I would pick a Hebrew name that tells about God. For the girls' names I would pick names that end with the letter A.

@Andrea
ReplyDeleteHi Andrea,
We have done posts like that in the past and will consider it for the future. :)
Thanks for being a loyal reader,
Lily and Ellie
I love the name Armani and Lila but now I love the names for girls Jana,jessa, Jinger, (defiantly) joy Anna, Johannah, Jordyn & Josie oh and Jill and jenifer also Mackenzie is pretty cute
ReplyDeleteH or C
ReplyDeleteLove this thread, so many fun names! We intentionally want every kid to have a different first letter (and different then ours). We have a Lorelei and a Daphne. If we picked just one, it would have been L though!
ReplyDeleteI would most likely pick J. There are soooo many names I could think of that I like that begin with J.
ReplyDeleteJessa Marie
Johanna Grace
Joylynn Faith
Jill Hope

John David
Joesph
James
Jason
(I hope I do not look like I am copying the Duggars, but it seems like my favorite names begin with J) :/
The only name we could agree on was Meredith for our first. When we found out our second was a boy, we chose Miles. For months it was Miles, a name I have loved for years. Then someone said something ugly about the name and "ruined" it for us. :(
ReplyDeleteSo we picked Kyle instead. Now that he is ten, I can't believe we almost named him differently.
If I had to pick a letter ~ I'd chose probably K, L or M.
Kyle
Kylie
Kendall
Kevin
Kyler
Kamden
Korie
Lizzy
Leah
Layla
Lacey
Luke
Liam
Meredith
Madeline
Matthew

Mackenzie
Michael

Just tons of names for all of those letters.
Well, I would choose the letter S, L or J. Not to copy the Duggars, but a few of my favourite names start with a J (like Jordan, Jane, Joy, Jette, Juliet, James, Jackson, Joseph, Jacob, Joachim). And the S, because my name is Sophie. The L, because I love the names Liam, LillyAnne, Louise, Lucy, Levi and Liesbeth (a variation of Elisabeth, my Christian name). But there are so many nice names that I haven't decide IF I would give all my children the same first letter, but I very sure that I would never give my children the same initials, that would be so inept!!
ReplyDeleteWow, that's a very long story :)
@Anonymous
ReplyDeleteu shouldnt say that. u never know who or what God will bless u with.
my siblings and i are:
ReplyDeleteLauren
Kit
Joe
Isaiah
Josie

I would choose the Letter "K" because that's what my name starts with and the most beautiful names start with the letter K.
ReplyDeleteI would pick "R"
ReplyDeleteI would be R for the Girls and F for the boys.
ReplyDeletelike Rebecca and Reagan, And Flynn.
A OR J
ReplyDeleteI would choose KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK! because I don't plan on having a big family and I like the name Kyle, Kaden, and Kristen!
ReplyDeleteL or i
ReplyDeleteI think it would be cool to have all the letters of the alphabet, like this: Andrew, Bethany, Charity, Deborah, Ethan, Felix, Gabriel, Heidi, Isaiah, Judah, Katrina, Leslie, Malachi, Naomi, Oliver, Priscilla, Quentin, Rayna, Seth, Titus, Ursula, Victoria, Walter, Xavier, Yolanda and Zoe. Not that I would have 24 children (me and my husband could have the other 2 letters), but it would be cool. :)
ReplyDeleteI like the names Gabriella, Scarlet, Alexandra, Madelyn, Isabella, Justina, Maria, Francesca, Sophia, Camilla, Guiliana, Leah, Filomena, Justina, Cecelia, Victoria, Mackenzie, Hannah......idk what letter to pick
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteI would pick "J" (I'm not copying you I love a lot of "J" names!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI would probably pick L. I like Leah and Lachlan
ReplyDeleteA & E. What we did was use my husbands middle initial (e) and my first initial (d), then my middle initial (a) and his first inital (m). We had Adam Michael, Evan Daniel, Aron Miles, Emily Danice and Analy Margaret. darlene
ReplyDeletei would pick A.
ReplyDeletefor girls i like
- Ava
- Abby
- Alice
- Adelaide
- Amity
- Ally
- Amily
& for boys I like
- Aaron
- Andrew
- Ali
- Adrian
I would say the letter B
ReplyDelete-Brady
-Brooke
-Brock
-Beth
-Brittany
-Belle
-Ben
-Blake
-Brody
i would do J because i know a lot of cool names for J
ReplyDeleteJuleanna
I have thought about this before, because I wanted to do this before I even knew that all the Duggar kids' names started with "J" I was thinking maybe "G," because that is my first initial, but also maybe "K" (my middle initial), "A," or whatever my husband's first initial will be. I also thought about "J" because that's my father's first initial, but I don't want to copy the Duggars! Their kids all have such beautiful names, all starting with "J," it would be hard to name my kids with a "J" name that I liked without using any of their names.
ReplyDeleteWe did An names. Angelica Marie and Analya Juliana. My son is my only boy so he is a Jr. Kevin Alois. My brothers sons are also An names. I have an An name and so do my brothers. Annette, Angelo, Antonio. My nephews are Anthony, Antonio, and Andrew. Guess its family tradition.
ReplyDeleteR. I have always loved the name Rose, and I promised my brother that my first son would be named Robert, in his memory. My boyfriend and I agreed on R middle names instead; his middle name is Roger.
ReplyDeleteO because I love the name October
ReplyDeleteWhy choose just one initial? I have 4 children and their names can all be shortened to 4 letters. I didn't really plan it that way but that is how it happened. Gregory, Ryan, Caitlin and Bradley... Greg, Ryan,. Cait, and Brad (But he doesn't really like that name. He goes by Bradley.).
ReplyDeleteCCK
Letter "H". I love the names Hunter, Hiatt, Harley, Hadley and Harper.
ReplyDeletemy parents started out with C for the first two then i came along and my name went from "Careyanne" to Karen Anne..... SMH then my littler sister and brother were starting with S and a T
ReplyDelete
