Even with nineteen kids, there are plenty of "J" names that the Duggars have not used. How many can you come up with?
Thanks to a loyal reader for giving us the idea for this discussion question!

ReplyDeleteJackie, Jenna, or Jane.
Maybe Jenna is the northern version of Jana? But still, Jackie DEFINITELY needs to happen and Jane is a classic.

ReplyDeleteJamie Jillian
ReplyDeleteJack Jessica Johnna
Jala and more *_*
just thought i'd mention that a few people here posted the names juan and jose. well i wanted to mention for the one's who dont know that juan is the spanish version of the name john in english which they already have a john and jose is the spanish version of the name joseph in english which they already have a joseph. also
ReplyDeletei saw someone mention the name jill and wanted to say they already have a jill.
:-)... something funny my great granpa's name was jesus, my grandpa's name was jesus, my father's name is jesus, my brother's name is jesus, and i have a nephew name jesus. my husband had a uncle named jesus as well. lol...it's a common spanish name. in spanish it's pronounce he like blowing out the word he so you feel the air blowing out of your mouth to pronounce the j and to say the e you pronounce it like saying e what are you looking at...lol...and the rest is sus...as in zus..hope this makes sense and helps...lol... i really like the names jazlyn and janessa also maybe genesis but with a j...jenesis...btw my brother's middle name is james and so ij his son's. lol...
Jessica Jillian Jodie Jaime Janie Jack Jared Jacob Jordi Jessie Joyce Janice June Julie Janine Jaden Jorgen Jasmine Jaelyn Jake Julia Jade Jeff Janet Jonah Juliana Jenna... Theres many more but don't have time!
ReplyDeleteWith the abundance of J names it always struck me as odd that they named Joy-Anna and Johanna so similarly.
ReplyDeleteJanissa, Jasmine and Juliet for girls
ReplyDeleteJoel, Jacob and Jaden for boys
When Michelle was pregnant with Josie didn't TLC post a contest to name the baby? I understand with the emergency deliver Jim Bob and Michelle named Josie-I do not even think the kids has a vote. I never saw anything about the contest after Josie's birth-not even an acknowledgement from TLC that the contest had been cancelled due to the circumstances

ReplyDeletePeople keep suggesting Jack. They have a Jackson already. I wouldn't think the would want to name another "Jack" since Jackson may shorten his name to that as he gets older. Same kind of thing with the "Jameison" suggestion. They have a James also and a Jessa which is too close to Jessica in my opinion. However, I am surprised they have not used Jonah yet since it is a very biblical name!

There are already many, many numerous names. My questions is why did they choose to name all their kids with "J" names to begin with? Are Josh and Anna going to name all their kids with "M" names? Are Jill and Derrick gong to name their kids with "I" names? Is this tradition going to carry on with all the other kids in the Duggar family? I love names and why the parents chose the names for particular children so I am interested in why the "M" names for sure!
ReplyDelete@Anonymous
ReplyDeleteThere is an FAQ that explains that.
Jessica ? Joann ? Aren't they too similar to Jessa and Joy Anna and Johanna which are already being used ? Jack is similar to Jackson ! There must be other names to use. Pull out a baby book ! I really would like to know why did they break the trend of "J" names when they picked the name Caleb ??!
ReplyDeleteHave the Duggars ever thought of naming one of their daughters Jenna? My name is Jenna and where I come from it's not common. I only know one other person named Jenna.
ReplyDeleteThey thought of naming Jackson Judah.
