How nice!  Good in-law stories.

Christine Brown is into those godawful, super-duper "unique" spellings. You can look at the names of the Brown kids and pick out which ones are hers. "Ysabel," for crying out loud. 

Back to topic: I wonder what the latest spawn will be named. 

Not unique. Spanish:

https://www.babynamespedia.com/meaning/Ysabel#google_vignette

The baby girl name Ysabel is pronounced as IY-SaaBehL †. Ysabel is primarily used in Spanish and English, and its language of origin is Hebrew.

Ysabel is a Spanish form of the English, Greek, and Hebrew name Elizabeth.

Ysabel is also an English and Spanish spelling variant of Isabel.

Name a boy in that family who has. 
 

Christine also had Paden, Gwendolyn, with not that spelling at all but I’m too lazy to look it up. Mykelti, which is probably also not spelled like that. Who am I missing? Janelle had very traditional names. Logan, Madison, Hunter, Garrison (RIP) Gabriel, Savannah. And Meri’s (one R or two?) Mariah.

oh man, with twins, this could be wild. Have we heard the genders? 
 

Edited to add Christine‘s other child – Aspyn. 

Christine used the y ti replace I as a nod of respect to Brigham Young the founder of their faith. Supposedly it is a Mormon thing.

Mariah transitioned and has a new name. I don’t know the new name atm. I forgot.

[Nysha]

Mariah is now Leon. I was momentarily confused when someone mentioned Leon regarding JillR, then I realized that y'all had named her Thyroid lump that.

I know. And I’m happy for them, because they seem extremely happy and content with their partner. I was just pointing out that all the other mothers picked pretty “ normal” names at birth compared to the names that Christine came up with. I’m sure Kody didn’t have a say in it or care.

I agree. Christine seems to like unique names and alternative spellings. As for Kody, his involvement with his kids pretty much stopped once they were conceived.

Unless he was trotting them out to say "LOOK WHAT I DID! I'M SUCH A MAN! I HAVE [pauses, asks wife how many] EIGHTEEN KIDS!" 

[oliviabenson]

Kody only likes robyns kids. The rest he doesn't give a thought about.

Do we have any thread to discuss all or some of the Brown parents as a group (the way we have the Brown Kids thread)? I paged through all the topics, and didn't find one, but I could have missed it.

Not that I'm aware of.  Each "parent" has their own thread, so having a group thread might cause confusion/duplication.  JMO.

However, I believe you could add a group thread on your own if you'd like.  Click on "Start Topic" at the top of the main Sister Wives board.

Thanks, AZChristian. I knew I could add one, but I didn't want to duplicate something we already had. Now I don't even remember what I wanted to post about. 🤣

If it's parenting across the family,  maybe the kids' thread works since it would affect the kids.

[General Days]

It was more about comparing how each of the parents functioned in polygamy and what it did to them (but I seriously don't even remember the angle now). It felt broader than what would belong in one wife's thread, or Kody's thread. And I'm not in the midst of a rewatch, so I didn't want to put it in that thread.

It's gone from my head. If it comes back, maybe I'll start a thread (although it seems a little silly this late into the series).

Maybe the "General Show Discussion " thread ?

Thank you! I was looking for it, and couldn't find it. I've found it now. I think I missed it, because the "jokey" name is first. If I was Empress of Primetimer, our thread format would be:

PLAIN NAME: JOKEY NAME 

[Yeah No]

Actually this thread is supposed to be for non-show related chit chat while the General Show Discussion thread is for what most of the discussion here has been about for a couple of months now.

Right. I always understood that Primetimer "Small Talk" threads were supposed to be like the old TWoP Meet Market threads, which actually had a "no show discussion" understanding.

The Meet Markets were chit chat only. When I tried to chat here in early November though, I was thread-nannied to the Primetimer-wide chit chat thread. 

I just couldn't find the General Show Discussion thread, which is pretty sad, since I posted in it less than a month ago. I missed it, when I was looking through all the thread titles yesterday, because of how it was named. So I was thinking the Rewatch thread was our only general show discussion thread (which also has the jokey name first).

Sorry I didn't mean to make you feel like you had to explain yourself. It appears that I wrote my post at the same time you wrote your previous post so I didn't see that you had already found the general show thread.

Happy Holidays!
