Jed! and Katey: Biblically Bunking Together

Kory Duggar would be really cute, although I'm sure they'll go with something Biblical.

All first names are eclipsed by the unpleasant, clunky “Duggar” surname.

I agree, it's definitely not an attractive surname. 

[GeeGolly]

Maybe they'll go with Rory. Jed and JB's middle names are Robert and Katey's dad's name is Kory - Rory.

[Ljohnson1987]

I hope Katey doesn't go two weeks overdue like Jill.

Wait, this thread is hot and she hasn't had the baby yet???

I know!  I clicked on it, sure that she had had the baby. 😂

How about Jory?

That reminds me of Flowers in the Attic. Cathy named her son a combination of Cory and Julian.

I never read flowers in the attic.

It's been decades since I read Flowers in the Attic. Who was Julian? 

[iwantcookies]

Julian is a nice name. Or Jonathan.

Sadly he will look like a used car sales man by 16… the Duggar genes are strong (not in a good way)!

IIRC, Cathy's ballet teacher/abusive lover.

Yes. Maybe from Petals in the Wind or Seeds of Yesterday?

Yes! I immediately thought of that.

First husband, too.

Agree, it kind of ruins any nice name it’s paired with.

[laurakaye]

I like Jed!2022.  Or Jed!2042, which is when he will probably run for office.

I wonder what the kid will be named.

I suggest 

Matteo 

Valentino

Milo

Sebastian

Ted 

Radley

Wyatt

Gary 

Bruce

Not Milo...that's my new(ish) grandson's name, and I don't relish seeing it attached to a Duggar.

[Ljohnson1987]

I wonder if the baby has been born, and they're waiting for the best magazine offer to make the announcement.

Jed! and Katie will be waiting a long time for any publication to make an offer.  The Met Gala was last night, there is a very high profile celebrity court case going on in Virginia, there is also another high profile court case going on involving the Kardashians, not to mention some pretty big political news that broke last night.  People, US Weekly, etc. have more to "report" on than a D-list celebrity from a cancelled TV show having a baby.

[dargosmydaddy]

Some kind of Reddit leak is saying that the baby was born and his name is Truett. The debate is raging whether or not this is better or worse than Spurgeon (consensus is better). Take this with whatever sized grain of salt you'd like...

Apparently it came from Jed and Katey's private Insta account. Also, nothing could be worse than Spurgeon. Trust.

[emmawoodhouse]

Truett Duggar is pretty awful.

[iwantcookies]

Which will be misread as Truest Duggar for eternity 🤣

Which can't even be a thing because he'll be (poorly) homeschooled. 😀

My pet theory is they think somehow they're going to get free Chick-Fil-A for this.

We don't have hate chicken around here. What's the connection?

[emmawoodhouse]

It's official. And he's indeed Truett.

Maybe it is a family name?  My great-grandfather was Turner.

The founder is S Truett Cathy. 

Interestingly, apparently there was also a famous SBC president named Truett as well (surname). Maybe that's who Cathy was named after himself? In any event, I found it interesting that in the announcement they only gave the literal name meaning. My free chicken theory already feels dead in the water. 🐔

Truett, or more so True, sounds a little feminine to me. Anyone else think baby True looks a little like Izzy?

An aside, People just featured the birth of Tori Roloff's 3rd child. I haven't seen nary a mention of this latest Duggar birth.

I'd somehow never internalized the fact it actually ends with 2 Ts until tonight, so every time I see it spelled out, my mind panics and thinks it's a typo.

They just officially announced like half an hour ago. People will probably have a blurb up in the morning.

I didn't know much about Katey, but she seems to be a delightful person.  How did she get stuck with a Duggar? (rhetorical question)

Khloe Kardashian's daughter is named True.

He already looks like a Duggar male.

I don't know about that.  I once had a student whose name was spelled Shithead--pronounced Sha-thad.  True story.  Also Sundaycarbirth.  His name was too long for his medical card.  Also a baby girl named Meconium.  Her mom thought it was such a beautiful word.   Parents come up with some interesting stuff.  It is really sad when Spurgeon is preferable.

The "Shithead" name thing is a racist urban legend. I'm sure the others are too. Please don't spread this stuff.

Argh, now I have to share my birthday with the spawn of the third-most-irritating Duggar male. I jinxed it -- shouldn't have said anything last week or whenever it was.

My sympathies. I have so far avoided sharing my birthday with a Duggar.

Who's the second most irritating Duggar male? Are we counting Boob?

Yes, Jim Bob is the second-most irritating. Number one, of course, is the family felon. I'd nominate one of the unmarried, bearded howlers to be #4. 

[emmawoodhouse]

"Jase" is pretty annoying.

[iwantcookies]

Well Ted would have been better.

Truett is as bad as Spurgeon. 
 

Meh good luck kid… you will need it being an uneducated Duggar in a sea of many many unremarkable/unintelligent Duggar's.

Yeah he's the one The Sun kept calling Jed! during the trial and then retracting the misidentification and whom Hilaria is obsessed with.

Sort of. 

[GeeGolly]

Is this the third male Duggar to have a male kid? If so I think that means of the Duggar brothers we now have 5 Duggar spawn, so far, to carry on the Duggar name. Michael, Marcus, Mason, Garrett and now Truett.

I agree

 

And a big plus for a hospital birth, finally some sense in those girls

 

And of course, nursery in pale non-colours

 

And final edit - is it usual to get induced on your due date? Where I live, the doctors wait for another 2 weeks, if everything with the baby is ok

I was induced the day before my due date after a check up that morning. The doctor felt my son was going to be over 8 pounds.  He was nine pounds. That was thirty years ago. 
I am more concerned about the article I read, with a photo, that showed Katie eating McDonalds during labor. Has eating during active labor come back into fashion?  I thought that was a no-no in case of complications?
