    1. Oh I forgot to mention in my initial excitement: The middle name I picked is very similar too. Kay instead of Kate. How ironic.

  2. How adorable..congratulations! I wonder if they are identical, hard to say with their newborn pictures. The older siblings look so sweet with their snacks, wise parents to have special snacks ready. I wonder if they were born via c-section. God bless, and best wishes.

    1. They shouldn’t be eating that junk. Give them some fruit instead!

    2. Please, let’s just be happy for the family. Your comment seems very unnecessary

    3. @1:01 Do you pick apart all the food choices of the actual people in your life?

    4. Natural from what I have been reading

    5. 1:01- maybe fruit wasn't available.. 🙄

  4. I'm curious why they wouldn't want the girls to have their own middle names.

    1. 3:08. Yes it is curious, but it is being done more know days for various reasons. We don’t know the personal reason this Duggar family may have but I have heard of some parents wanting their kids to have the same middle name of a beloved grandparent or great grandparent who has passed away.

    2. My twin and I have the same middle name. I think it’s a sweet reminder of our close relationship as twins!

      Delete
    3. Yes, naming all the girls the same middle name is being done much more..some people reason that the girls will change their last names when they marry, but they will always have the same middle name. Makes sense, wish I would have thought of it.

    4. Jedidiah and Jeremiah share the same middle name, Robert. I’m sure he wanted to carry that on with his twins.

    5. Interesting. So many names in the world that it seems like an un-fun way to do it, but whatever floats their boat.

  5. Congratulations. Such sweet names you gave them.

  6. Why would you give your girls all the same middle name?? That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard!

    1. What a nasty comment.Jedidiah and his twin brother also share the same middle name. Last time I checked I believe it was okay for the parents to name their children whatever they would like. In my family tree,my Grandmother had a sister who gave all 5 of her daughters the same middle name. I had never seen anyone do that before, but I certainty didn't call it dumb. I couldn't be happier for such a beautiful family! Share the joy girl!!!!!

    2. Nothing wrong having the same middle names, mind your own business.

    3. Or just as puzzling, why would you name all your jids with a J name including one you had to make up??

    5. Neddy, I've seen you on plenty of TV snark pages. Nobody tells you not to be there. Please respect others the same way.

      Delete
    6. 12:20, that is not puzzling. They have explained why they did the J names (many times).

  7. What a shame they felt they needed to sell this private family moment.

    1. No amount of money is worth exposing and endangering your very young children like that! If you need to sell pictures to the public, you need to examine what you're doing for income. Children are not your source of income!

    2. I'm sure a lot of the children have had to do this for income since the family television show got canceled by TLC.

    3. And yet you’re here reading about it.

  8. Wonder why all 3 girls have the same middle name.

    1. I think so Katey gets to pass a name down to all of her daughters since they all have their dad’s last name. I think it’s cute.

      Delete
    2. Then it should be Truett Jedidiah

      Delete
  9. She must really like the middle name as Kate. For her girls.

  11. Congratulations on the birth of two adorable girls. Blessings to you all.

  12. Congrats to their family!! How wonderful all 3 girls carry their mom’s name as a middle name!! 4 kids under the age of 4 will be a handful, but they have friends and family who would be eager to help. What a double blessing they have received❤️

  13. Same middle name would be fun….a fun family quirk to joke around about…a little something special!

  14. Mom hardly looked like she was even carrying twins, and both babies were a good, healthy weight. That’s amazing!

  15. Congrats on the healthy twin girls!
    For the blog writers: Could you do a refresher/update 2025 post with all the kids photos, ages, relationships/kids, jobs, etc. I watched the show years ago, but lots has changed since then. I tried looking at the cover but the pictures are too small to see clearly. Thanks!

    1. My guess as to why it hasn’t been updated is, bc some of the duggar family don’t do social media so there’s no new photos of the whole family to up date with.

      Delete
    2. There are too manyDuggars who won't tell us how many children they have. So now they won't update us anymore.

  16. Wow. They really like the name Kate. lol

  17. Congratulations, Katey and Jedidiah!!!!!! Welcome to the world Elsie and Emma.

  18. Why is People fixated on this family? And why do the Duggars approve of being in a gossip mag like this?
