Sure, that name won't last after she's 10, but for now, they're okay. eta: Did Anna really say she wasn't going to use Mary? If she did, I missed it! It was in the IG comments under one post. Said it was too close to Meredith. That being said if they are pronouncing it like Mariella rather than Mary-Ella, sure why not. Knowing the Duggars they are saying Mary-Ella and planning on calling her Ella. I would say Anna is kicking herself for choosing the M theme but nah. She enjoys the attention. 9 Link to comment

Nysha November 29, 2019 Share November 29, 2019 Given she's lost a child twice in the last few months, she should really stop having babies. She's getting overwhelmed and I don't think she's going to get the help that Michelle did from the church ladies. Although, Mackenzie (wrong spelling!) is old enough to have Meredith and Mason for her buddies while Michael takes over Marcus's care. 4 Link to comment

Temperance November 30, 2019 Share November 30, 2019 There are a lot of M- names Anna hasn't used yet. Margaret, Madeline/Madelyn/Madeleine. Molly, Marie, Maria, Melanie, Melissa, Melinda, Martha, Maisie, Marcella, Magnolia, Mia, Mila, Miranda, Miriam, Matilda, Morwenna, Macy, Mabel, Marilyn, Marnie, Maura, Meghan/Megan, etc. I know tastes varies and different names appeal to different. I'd probably like the name Maryella if wasn't so similar to other family members' names. I think probably the name is to court favor with both the Duggars (particularly JB) and the public (They named their baby after Grandma Mary! How sweet!) I don't know; the Duggars are such public figures I get the feeling that plays a part when they pick names. Anna seems to dream of getting her family back more on the show (not likely Josh will comeback). Hopefully they just really like the name as well. I think JB will always take care of Anna and her kids, because they're his grandchildren and it would look bad if they didn't have a roof over their heads, etc. 5 Link to comment

BradandJanet December 1, 2019 Share December 1, 2019 At least Anna is reasonably literate and keeps the emojis and hashtags to a minimum. I hope she has the sense to stop the baby production line though. If Josh thinks he's getting back on TV because he has a pile of kids, he's nuts. That train left the station a long time ago. That room looks like something in a local restaurant where the portions are big and and the prices are low. It's a far cry from the glamorous life in DC. Anna may not care, but I bet Josh does. 1 11 Link to comment

I get concerns about confusion over same names/child having own identity when naming after someone but does anyone actually feel like the person is being replaced? I think it’s different when someone has passed while someone is pregnant with their future namesake. The grief is still fresh, and some people in the family may be looking to fill the void that that person left, which can be a lot of pressure on the namesake. I’ve heard stories of family members being mad at women for being pregnant with the wrong gender after a loved one has passed because they were supposed to carry on that legacy. Maryella benefits from being part of a large crop of great grandchildren all born around the same time though. 4 4 Link to comment

kokapetl December 1, 2019 Share December 1, 2019 I know I’m late to the party, but my theory about the visit to the car yard by Homeland Security is that the car yard was an unwitting recipient of chop shop cars or something. The lack of any real investigation of any Duggar suggests they are not persons of interest.

They could have gotten caught up in some kind of widespread criminal operation. But I don't buy "naivety" in the context of Duggars buying used cars. JB has been a car dealer all his working life and I think his dad was in the business before him. He's such a control freak I can't see him letting one of his sons make hinky deals out of naivety although I suppose it might happen. More "stupidity" and "greed" than "naiveity." I'm in this camp: 5 hours ago, MsJamieDornan said: If that is what it's all about, I think JBoob knew exactly what was happening. He's as shady as they come. Yep. I think it was @Zella who has a family background in NW Arkansas, and mentioned that someone (her dad?) always said that you should never get between Jim Bob Duggar and a dollar. Over the last few years, at least once on SM, we saw JB and a few of the Howlers (or whatever we call them now they're adults), out of state and heading home, having bought several vehicles wholesale on their trip. I think maybe they visited the Kellers or Bateses or some such fundie friends, along the way. I think that's how the Duggar used car biz works, no matter which one of them may technically own or operate a specific used car lot. 13 minutes ago, Future Cat Lady said: How do we know that they are being investgated?

Personally, I think a visit from Homeland Security, complete with warrant and apparent seizure of property is fairly convincing evidence that some aspect of the Duggar family's undertakings is being investigated. Maybe they are not the subjects of the investigation, but, if that were the case, I would expect HS would've said so when they confirmed the raid. As far as the Duggars perhaps receiving stolen or otherwise criminally altered vehicles without their knowledge; that seems a lot less likely than that they themselves are suspected of criminal activity. Presuming their activities do not present imminent risk of harm to anyone, the feds are going to take their time and build a solid case before anyone gets arrested. 1 12 Link to comment

As far as I know, all that’s been confirmed by Homeland Security is that they visited the car yard and spoke to people. No confirmation of warrants, raids or seizures. It’s also highly likely law enforcement would enforce a search warrant on a target’s residence and business simultaneously, raiding just the business alerts the target they’re being investigated and gives them an opportunity to destroy evidence kept at home. I doubt all the car yard’s business records are kept onsite in that small hut. 4 Link to comment
Barb23 December 2, 2019 Share December 2, 2019 It would be interesting to know where the car lot's inventory went. Did the feds take the cars or have the Duggs driven them to a hidden location? I wonder how it works if the Feds seized the cars. The car lot is the Duggs livelihood (or at least this lot is Smugs livelihood.) If most of the inventory was seized, then that means the Duggs had to put out a lot of bucks to replenish their inventory. 4 Link to comment
