I believe the Sun is based in the UK, so a 6 acre lot and 1800 sq ft house probably is huge to them. 

[crazy8s]

Josiah and Lauren have just less than 6 "massive" acres surrounded by 60 acres of jb and meech trust acres.

Should Josiah and Lauren choose to build a house and live there, the important thing folks, is that it is just a walk through the back 40 to the Burress home should either family need a neighborly midnight delivery of pepto bismal.

My two closest neighborhood parks growing up in Brooklyn are about 24 acres each. One of them contains an Olympic sized pool. I would consider a lot that is 1/4 the size of a pretty big park to be quite a large lot for one house to be on also.

[GeeGolly]

An acre is about the size of a football field.

But when building an acre is not always an acre. Is it 6 acres in a row and they all back up to a highway? Are they in a line the other way, so you could only build a house with a very, very long backyard? Are 5 of the acres marshland?  Is it sloped, rocky, next to a cell phone tower?

Of course it could be a nice square corner lot ideal for building quite a few homes, or one home with a lot of land.

But that could be anybody's baby. Hell, it could be Lauren's youngest sibling.

Lauren's youngest sibling is almost five. Who knows whose baby that is? We will never find out.

Not on a hayride. You tend to your own kids. Even Joe has a couple of his. Kendra is not on the hayride or she is out of camera range, so we don't know if she's also tending to a baby.

In the video, it did not appear that Lauren's family was there. Tons of Caldwells running around, but no sign of any Swansons.

[GeeGolly]

Lauren looks to be baby-wearing there. I'm guessing its her baby. She was definitely pregnant at Katey's reveal so if Truett is 6 months, I'm guessing this little tot is nearing a year.

I think Kendra's mother might have had two children since Kendra was married.  I hope it's not more than that.

She did-- a boy around the same time as Kendra's first, and a girl around the same time as Kendra's third. So following that pattern, she should be gearing up to have another when Kendra has #5... (I hope I'm joking, but she's 43, so it's still possible...)

I know the girls really well, but I am fuzzy with all the little boys who have grown up and married.  I have to go check the list.  Josh and JD standout, as well as Jackson, but those in between have gotten fuzzy, since the show went off.  Does anyone know of a photo chart that has little boy photos with current photo next to it?

Not a chart, but if you click on each kid on the Duggar fundie wiki page, you get various pictures from over the years:

Why NOT on a hayride? Maybe they offered to bring Elusive Sibling along for the fun. Saying with absolute certainty that "you tend to your own kids," in an extended family with dozens of kids, is silly.

Occam's Razor, right? Sure, "it could be anyone's baby" but the most likely explanation is that it's Lauren and Josiah's.

Josiah and Lauren have a daughter named Daisy. Dasiy Duggar

The baby Lauren carried on the hay ride was pretty small. Definitely born earlier this year. 

It's entirely possible that SiRen had no clue about DD. I don't recall seeing Josiah at the trial. And even Anna apparently left the room when the evidence was shown. 

[louannems]

Daisy is , of course, a flower name.  Jesse might be mad if she had already chosen this name for a future daughter.

So if they are doing n alphabet theme as some surmised,  Asa, Bella ..............Daisy; was there a miscarriage for the "C" baby?

It appears so. 

[awaken]

Of all name choices…Daisy. Like Anna using Madysyn. 

[ChristmasCandy]

The name Daisy reminds me of my mom's best friends daughter who used that name as her stripper name.

[Gemma Violet]

I've always loved the names Daisy, Violet, and Rose.  If I had ever had daughters, I'm sure I would have used at least one of those names for either a first or middle name, though probably a middle name in case she ended up being a doctor or lawyer.  (Dr. Eleanor D. Smith sounds better than Dr. Daisy E. Smith.)  Of course, Duggars don't have to worry about things like that when your daughter's fate is to be a brood mare.

I must say Lauren and Josiah have done a fantastic job of keeping off of social media themselves.  But with a family that big, it's inevitable that the information would get out on someone else's video.

And Hyacinth?  I cant resist a Keeping Up Appearances reference.  I'm sure her Daisy isn't named after Daisy Buchanan of The Great Gatsby.

I really like the name Rose.  It was my mother's middle name.

We loved that show too. I think flower names are popular in general now so them naming her Daisy doesn't seem out of the ordinary to me.  Two family members of mine gave their children such unusual names.  Not just the spelling. The names. Think -  this is my child "paste". Not that name but odd. So while I hate the Duggar belief system and behaviors I don't mind that name.

Daisy is pretty. But it’s seems to fit a girl more than a woman. 
 

I do like Rose (which fits a woman rather than a girl)- Violet and Lily are my favorite flower names. 
 

I don’t know how Daisy is connected to Josh’s trial (and I don’t need to know the details), but I don’t think that whatever it was should’ve stopped Josiah and Lauren from using the name. Josh has ruined enough IMO.

I wanted to add, that I do understand their desire for privacy. They just want to live their lives, and I can’t blame them. It doesn’t mean they are “hiding” or anything. Several of the Brown children (from Sister Wives) locked down their social media years ago, and just pop up in more public sibling’s posts occasionally.

Every time I hear the name Daisy, I think of a commercial (perfume maybe) where a bunch of models say the name Daisy over and over again.

For me, it's a cross between this and Keeping Up Appearances! 

Daisy isn't my favorite name personally, but I feel like as far Duggar kid names go, it's not bad.

Where did people see this? I've enlarged the picture as big as I could get it, and could barely make out any writing at all, much less specifically names. Maybe I couldn't get it big enough.

It took me a while to realize it's on the piece of tape on the back of the pew, not on a present. 

 

[irisheyes]

I wonder if Lauren is a secret Bridgerton fan as she names her kids alphabetically. 
 

[Canadian Girl]

Wait wait wait. 

Josiah named his kid DAISY? After his brother is convicted of accessing one of the most infamous child abuse videos ever with that name in the title? I feel like throwing up. 

Secondly, Anna named a kid Madyson?? After her husband (same scum as previous item) cheated on her via Ashley Maddison?? WTF!

I only follow the duggar news on and off so I had not absorbed the kids names until catching up on this thread. 

Good lord. Appalling. Clueless. Unfathomable.

It's just a name. Why should Josiah and Lauren have to consider things like that when naming their children, if they even knew the names of those videos in the first place? 

This needs to be said. Josh is NOT representative of the Duggars as a whole. The  (innocent) other Duggars don't need to go around the rest of their lives serving penance for Smuggar, just like I don't have to go around making amends for what someone in my family did. Josh does. The others do not. They didn't do it. Smuggar did. It's absurd to think otherwise, not to mention offensive. 

Who knows why the Smuggars named their youngest Madyson? Maybe that name was on the M list all along. I actually like the name -- it's a lot better than Maryella. 

[Canadian Girl]

I wasn't assigning any blame/responsibility for Josh's actions to the others. 

I was expressing incredulance at how the other adults in the family could be so clueless that the associations with those names make them awkward names at best. 

[Salacious Kitty]

IIRC, Josiah didn't attend the trial. I really doubt that it was discussed amongst the family, other than in vague forms of support for the FF. I think it's entirely possible that they didn't know about DD when they named their baby. And tbh, would you want to be the family member who enlightens them? It's best that they're off SM so they wouldn't have been informed by total strangers. 

[GeeGolly]

Naming babies can be hard sometimes especially when knowing of others who had the name first - old girlfriends/boyfriends, a jerk from school or the neighborhood, a crazy relative, a cheating website, etc.

I agree with @Salacious Kitty, J&L likely don't know about the name. I'm sure if they did they wouldn't have chosen it. I hope they never find out.

I think its unfortunate J&A named their last child Madyson too. Even as a Fundy female, she will one day be an adult with access to the internet. IMO there is no way she won't find out about Ashley Madison. What a confusing moment that will be for her.

Edited January 15, 2023 by GeeGolly

I didn't immediately connect the name Daisy to Josh's crime, despite knowing the significance, so them using that name seems less egregious to me than Josh's daughter being named Madyson or if Josh and Anna had used the name Daisy. 

[zenme]

I remembered the name immediately because during the trial I thought how sweet the name was, and…anyway. I don’t wanna go on about this. It makes me ill, but that name is now associated with that tape now. 
Sweet name sullied, in my mind.

Clearly, Josiah and Lauren didn’t hear about that at the trial.

I didn't at first either, until I heard the name spoken out loud in a video. I wonder with this, and also baby Madyson, if it was almost meant as a reminder or way to rub salt into the wound every time FF refers to this person, rather than a way to glorify or commemorate his actions..
