Zella May 21, 2023 Share May 21, 2023 There was speculation Jessa was going to use Gabriel, and then after her sister in law leaked it, they went with Spurgeon. I think whatever claim she had to the name in the family has well since past and it should be considered up for grabs. Gabriel is a lot nicer name than Gunner for sure. 15 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/51212-joy-and-austin-this-one-time-at-family-camp/page/264/#findComment-8009995
Dehumidifier May 21, 2023 Share May 21, 2023 Even if they like the name they should have spelled it the traditional way. Surely the meanings are strong enough if that's what they are trying to convey. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Gunnar is a male first name of Nordic origin (Gunnarr in Old Norse[1]). The name Gunnar means fighter, soldier, and attacker, but mostly is referred to by the Viking saying which means Brave and Bold warrior (gunnr "war" and arr "warrior"). 9 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/51212-joy-and-austin-this-one-time-at-family-camp/page/264/#findComment-8010005

CalicoKitty May 21, 2023 Share May 21, 2023 Scandinavian people I know pronounce more like a cross between "Gooner" and Guhnner. There is also Gunther (I have known several). There have been many times at the hospital that I wanted to tell parents that they were spelling the baby's name wrong, which I'm sure they didn't mean to do, but we were not allowed to. Robbertt is one I remember. The parents were from Southeast Asia and wanted their son to have an American name. At least they tried. Joy has no excuse, except that she has very little education. If you are going to use a trendy name you should probably know how to spell it. 7 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/51212-joy-and-austin-this-one-time-at-family-camp/page/264/#findComment-8010251
