Same. Any time someone names their kid Brooklyn (and I know a few who have done so), I privately wonder if they're going to call the next one Bronx. And it just seems like a weird connotation for people who bend over backwards to seem more rural than they actually are. 

Staten Island Duggar

This is the new name theme they need. The Boroughs. 😉 

[lizzie3]

It truly frightens me that I remember this, but I had a feeling one of the Duggars' middle names was Brooklyn.  As per Google, it's Josie Brooklyn Duggar.  An odd choice to re-use?  If I was part of a super large family, I think I would double-check if a name had already been used.  Perhaps they just don't care.

Queens Duggar?

It’s the Duggars. They’re gonna have to expand into neighborhoods. Soho Duggar, Kensington Duggar, Flushing Duggar, etc

Y'all are giving Kendra and Joe too much credit. Kendra had a baby name list open on her phone, got to the Bs and said, hmm, Brooklyn is a pretty name, what do you think Joe? Joe replies, uhm, ya, sure.

[crazy8s]

we are giving the Duggars way too much credit for knowing anything about NY. they probably couldn't point to it on a US map

[Zella]

Hehe I could totally see the Duggars not even knowing that Brooklyn is a famous place. 

[QuinnInND]

Bedford-Stuyvesant Duggar. Bed-Sty for short. 😂

[Teriacky]

Flushing Duggar is great!

Joe and Kendra, in 2029, on the intro for their new TLC show "Infinity Kids and Counting:"

"These are our kids!  In order of age...Garrett, Addison, Brooklyn, Yonkers, the twins Ithaca and Utica, GloryBe, Schnectady (Schenny for short), Pittsburgh, Scranton, Hallelujah, and Joe Jr."

Maybe he's a lawman and a bodice ripper. He rides into town and cleans up the scum, loves up the ladies, and then rides back onto the plains for more adventure at the next town.

It's like the porno version of Rustler's Rhapsody. 😂

That's Jack Reacher.

If I have the dates correct, it seems Jessa publicly announced #4 the day before Brooklyn was born

Maybe it's a continuity of Duggar pregnancy agreement. Society could crumble if we didn't have the promise of another Duggar on the way at all times.

I'm sure if I had the time to trawl through the Kindle Unlimited romance offerings I would find a hero named Warden Justice.  That really is a romance Hero name.  Not that I would ever pick it up though unless it was written by Beverly Jenkins.  

 

Now back to Joe and Kendra.  I see nothing wrong with Praise as a middle name.  There is precedence for Praise.... as a Puritan name in both England and America.  It also fits into the rest of the virtue  names.

I think it's a silly name. I hope they take a break - but who am I kidding, she'll be pregnant again by Fall.

Hey, she’s birthed two sister-moms ready to go. No need to slow down now!

Calling an announcement in August. They will, of course, be thrilled and very surprised!

Brooklyn is a unisex name? It sounds like a boy name to me, but I'm not from US so...

When it is spelled like the borough, it is unisex.  If it is spelled Brookelynn or Brooke-Lynn its female.

It's just so incredibly sad.  She's all of 22?  And those poor little ones.  Not even 2 years old and pushed aside for the next baby.

 I know this was a common occurrence when my grandmother and even to some extent my mother were young, but people didn't have much of a choice back then.  Why a young couple would choose to have a baby every year in this day and age is beyond me.

Congratulations to Joe and Kendra.  Please slow down the baby train....at least a little. 

[Ljohnson1987]

Brooklyn is a nice name. It's also Josie's middle name. What are you and Joe praising, Kendra? The fact that you have sex 24/7?

i think i personally know 10 Brooklyns all spelled like that, all female

and on the name Praise - seems one of the Bontrager boys was courting/engaged to a Praise something or other

Dating myself but I remember on General Hospital years ago, Ned and Lois named their daughter Brooklyn (I don't know how they spelled it but they pronounced it Brook-Lynn.  Soap trivia for the day..lol

[iwantcookies]

Guess she has never been to Brooklyn, NY 

 

 

[Nysha]

I like Brooklyn Praise, to me it's pretty. 

When I was a kid in the early 70s we went to a spirit-filled church in Alaska that had a lot of hippies in the congregation. One of them had a baby and named him Justice Praise, his slightly older sister was named Harmony Skye and that was my future daughter's name through out middle school & high school.

They're praising Jesus for blessing them with another baby of course. 😂

Williamsburg

I can't get over naming a kid Warden. I can just see the Insta captions now: "Warden spending the day with Lolli and Pop up at the Big House." These people are weird as hell.

And, “doing life” in the big house with Warden!

I believe Erin has a daughter named Brooklyn. It seems they're copying the Bates in more way than one.

It’s a fine name but I find it strange that it’s been used at least 3 times now amongst the Duggar/bates clan.  It’s not like there’s a great spiritual or family history significance that would make sense for it to be used multiple times.

Wasn't that where the Nanny was supposed to be from on the TV show?   Can you imagine the Nanny's laugh and voice and Kendra's constant giggle in the same house, or even the same neighborhood?  Yowza!

Brooklyn is a very popular name. It started I think as homage to all the Brooke born in the 70s, 80, and 90s.  And -lyn is popular ending. Carolyn, Marilyn, Madelyn, etc.

I like the name Brooklyn, though I'm not a fan of "Praise" as a name, be it the first name or middle name.

And hey, at least it can't be shortened to Evy/Evvy, Eevy, Ivy, or however they want to spell it. (When hearing those names, does anyone else hear the skipping song "Blue bells, cockle shells, eevy, ivy, over..."?)

[andromeda331]

I'm guess Hell's Kitchen is a no.

[Temperance]

Kendra and Joe were married September 8, 2017. They'll be married 3 and 1/2 years on March 8, 2021.  They'll be married 4 years in September. 

Kendra is 22.5 and she'll be 23 in August. 

[Westiepeach]

And she has 3 kids. At 22.5 years old.

There's not a lot of independent thought with this bunch. 😞

[Oldernowiser]

Only tangentially on topic, but at one point in my life I lived across the street from a couple whose dog AND their baby were both named Bailey.

Now there’s a profound lack of imagination.
