Sweet Fellowship: Duggars and Friends (aka the Bates Family and Other Featured Families Thread)

[3 is enough]

I really hope that when the baby starts to talk he refuses to call Jill "Mimi". I hope he calls her a name she doesn't particularly like. 

My husband is Italian, and he wanted our granddaughter to call him "Nonno".  He referred to himself as Nonno from day one.  We went to visit for her second birthday and when we walked in the door she yelled "Hi Poppa!" and that was that. 😄

Of course the difference is that my husband didn't mind at all.  I can see Jill getting all bent out of shape if that happens to her.

Can she pronounce serotonin?

Hasn’t Laurie always just been a nickname for Laurence or Laura? I thought Lauren was the one that went from boy to girl.

Warning to all: I'm a little cranky today so will be extra snarky. And I hate overused, misused words (literally, reveal, glowy, gush, and many more). 

 

You and me both. Glad we’re in good, snarky company!

If Ewan McGregor and his partner Mary Elizabeth Winstead can have a son named Laurie, surely the Nurthans can have a son named Jill. Jillo Noyes Rodrigues Keller, coming October 2021. 

If David Waller can have a daughter named Davia, I fully expect a Rod grandson named Jillo!  Jilleth? Jileto?

[EVS]

 I think Nurie’s son’s name will be Noyes Nathaniel Keller.

I find it funny that Noyes sounds the same as Noise. Noise Jill, or Jill Noise. Very fitting!

It's "noise." Jilly's FB profile states she went to Joyful Noyes homeschool.

Huh, I would’ve pronounced it as rhyming with Rodrigues.

I think Nurie’s baby will be a junior. I don’t know Nathan’s full name but maybe they will call the baby Nate or Nat or by his middle name, but probably they will call him Junior.

I bet Nathan got quite the bill from Jill's shopping spree at the Overpriced Emporium. The fancy Newington Room will be the talk of the neighborhood and Covid Baptist (thanks again, Emma).

Joyful noise is the bathroom.

Daddy’s happy place is the pantry.

Closet A is the boys room.

Closet B is the girls room.

Off limits is the kitchen.

Perhaps serotonin is produced in the guts of people who don't have any brains, like Jill.  That must be it.

According to Fundie Wiki, he's Nathan Edward. Nurie, Nathan, and baby Neddie would be kind of cute...

I'm aware of that. However, Laurie is 99% a girl's name now, much like Stacey, Leslie, and Ashley. 

Topic: I can't see any fundie giving a boy a girl's name. Testosterone Rodrigues Keller. N'testosterone Rodrigues Keller.

My dog is named Ned.  He was a Game of Thrones pup at the rescue.  Everyone tells me they love that name.  Of course the kid won’t be named Ned.

[xwordfanatik]

Will all their kids have N names, I wonder?  How's about Norman?  😜

[GeeGolly]

Since they seem to have one foot in the 1600s, one foot in the 1980s and their heads in the Bible, I'll go with Christopher Thomas.

Newington room could be the new grandbabies room! Newington Nurthan Keller.

[TrixieTrue]

I find the whole Rodrigues clan to be interesting, because aside from Jill, we really have no idea what any of the kids think or how they behave. Remember back when the Bates family would say things like "We love having Jana visit" or some other comment that indicated Jana was the one they really liked and everyone else was sort of tolerated? I wonder if the Keller clan feels that way about Nurie. 

[EVS]

My joke about Noyes Nathaniel aside, I do think the baby’s name will be either Nathaniel or Nehemiah.  My bet is Nehemiah. 

[iwantcookies]

Instead spending a few hundred at Magnolia Market Jilldo should have bought food for her kids.

Unfortunately, I don’t think the kids are “allowed” to think. They think whatever BME tells them to think.

Maybe the baby can be Nill. Nill Faith...

and yet some of them were caught cheating on home school tests as reported by Jill, so some of them had a thought. I'm sure that has been beaten or starved out of them this year. I suspect Phillip was one of them. no smile direct for him, no parasailing. He turned 18, no job mentioned and now he "wants to preach". Meanwhile he looks thinner and more gaunt in every pic.

The 2 children I’m most worried about are Phillip and Sadie.  They seem to be especially neglected.

[emmawoodhouse]

Regarding the Newington room, maybe Jill is paying homage to the towns in New England. 

Or not. 😂

Yeah, Newington, CT seems to be the largest, but there are others. 😁

That was the town we lived in when we first moved to the USA. So it seems especially glaring to keep seeing the name here.

Look what I was able to get my Android's autocorrect to suggest in a couple of tries. 

I'm weirdly proud of that.

She was obviously trying to type "new living room" and failed massively. 

I got to Newington pretty easily, too. 😀

[Saylii]

My money is on Fred (or Frederick) Noyes Keller.  It’s Nathan’s grandfather‘s name.

The youngest Keller brother is already named David, so I don’t see them doing anything with that.  The name hasn’t been used before.  Jill and the Keller‘s never did a theme so I don’t think Nurie will either.

[JoanArc]

It’s an anagram for Newton Gin…

[madpsych78]

Maybe Newington will be the name of Nurthan's child. Newington Noyes Keller.
