Imho if you are pro-life, BE PRO LIFE.  That is, be pro every STAGE of life, not just in utero.  Why doesn’t pro life include teens?  Elders?  Suppprt QUALITY public education for all of our children.

Dammit, I wish they'd all stop spreading misinformation about abortion.  Most women who seek abortion don't do it at the stage of that ultrasound image Dustbin posted unless there are severe abnormali

I went on a couple of those ATI approved 'Journey to the Heart' brainwashings back in the day when I was a teenager. I think they might have been called something different. I don't really remember. M

I fully expected them to name baby Seewald some hipster bible name - Silas, Selah, Roman, Ezra, Jesse, etc. Maybe a Hudson Taylor or Jim Elliot missionary name.

 

AHEM! ATTENTION EVERYONE: I CALLED IT 10/12/15 - give me a prize! Well, I called the Elliott half of it.

From that article: "Ben was in agreement on taking time to really consider name options: 'He is going to have this name for the rest of his life,' the doting dad said."

 

And he's okay with Spurgeon? What the tator tot casserole? I'm pretty sure Baby Spurgeon WhyWasIBorntoTheseIdiots Seewald will be changing that name somewhere down the line. That poor, poor child. 

 

Also, I am a professional writer and that article from TLC is shamefully written. TLC should focus on having a good PR person if it's going to keep these idiots on the air.

Wait. What??? What an ugly name for an adorable baby boy. It also sounds like surgeon. I can't even imagine various family members referring to this "precious" boy as Spurgeon, even those who are fans of the original.

True to form, it's also very "in your face". Can't be a typical biblical name, nooooooo, that's too run of the mill!

Charles or Haddon would have been cute. in fact, the latter would have been unique enough but still fairly normal. Whatever, though, not my kid.

 

They do realize that people will call him Spooge, right?! Good god, the inanity of these folks...

 

Like they know what that even means. First thing I thought was that Spurgeon rhymes with virgin. Unfortunate, but it's not like the kid will ever be surrounded by people not related to him. Unless I'm mispronouncing it. Rhymes with surgeon, no?

they had at least seven months to come up with a boy and girl name. Every time bin opens his mouth he proves what an idiot he is. I'm so glad they took their time to choose just the right name.

Yeah, this poor kid will have that awful name the rest of his life. Thanks dad!!!

It automatically makes me think of sturgeon (the fish).

Yup, me too.

I've taught a million kids , some with very unique names, but I have never heard of anything this bad. I can't imagine the uneducated Jkids  being able to pronounce it or even repeat it.

Is there even a nickname for that...Spur??? Ginny??

Sounds like a Depression-era name for the malnourished 28th kid in the family.

 

ETA: Bin's being called a 'doting Dad', huh?  Six whole days of doting??? Laughable. But I guess he's got all day to dote.

Facebook is saying his name is Spurgeon Elliot Seewald. I don't know how to link from Facebook. Another kid in this family that I hope that later chooses to go by their middle name.

Sorry, people beat me to it. Even after refreshing topic several times, I still didn't catch it.

Oh Jessa your love of Kim K is showing by giving your son a "unique"name. He can surely hang out with North West and her soon to be brother who will probably have yet another "unique" name.

Jessa likes Kim Kardashian?! How does she even know who Kim is? I'm shocked about that.

Spurgeon. Wow.

It made me sad that my phone kept changing Spurgeon to surgeon because you know that nobody in that family will never be allowed to become a surgeon or anything else that will allow them independence.

Spurgeon. Really?

Ben is not a teenage father

Nope and many young fathers are successful at raising a child. Ben is so clueless about the world except within the context of his religion. He is a passive guy, with a dominate wife, who in turn is enslaved by her parents ideals. He is really just a Spurgeon Spooge donor. They know little of practical life and have little to pass on to #6.

They could call him Smegma Seewald.

I didn't think it was possible to top Israel David in its over-the-top "I'm more religious than you" pretentiousness, but I was wrong. Naming your firstborn child after a "favorite preacher" and a "favorite missionary" is pretty damn pretentious. These two aren't mature enough to have a dog, much less a child.

Look how much he is already being talked about.. Means  something.. Yes it does.. 

Yeah, as much as I don't like these two, the name was worth waiting for in terms of snark value. People are going to be talking about this like it's the second coming of Apple Martin (which is sounding like a better name by the second).

 

They don't seem to know much about childbirth, getting an education, or humility, but they understand the black arts of famewhoring. I can't help but admire the move strictly in terms of PR. Benessa are mostly dim and self-righteous, but every so often they show a glimmer of shrewdness that, in different hands, might have manifest itself into an interesting career.

 

...but I'm probably giving them too much credit.
