At least it was only 9 bucks.  Of course, it really is just a plain piece of fabric that can be used in multiple ways because it is just a plain piece of fabric, so there's that.  All these nursing cover thingies look so stupid.  This one isn't quite as dopey as Meechelle's Breast Friend, but really?  I know lots of mothers who nurse their children and don't actually need any extra crapola and also manage not to flash their boobs at passersby.

But without all the crapola how will everyone know that she's nursing?

Potentially unpopular opinion, but I don’t like it when people name their children after their own interests. I 100% agree the daughter will be named something flight related. 

My friend’s husband was pursuing a degree when their daughter was born. They gave her not one but two middle names that went with that degree. Well, he never finished the degree and now has a whole different career. It’s weird.

I feel like when you name your kid after your hobby, you're probably just setting up that kid to hate your hobby. LOL

I think there's a way to go about it without being super weird--maybe a relatively normal flower name if you like to garden or slipping in a historical reference with a not-too-outlandish name. But I would definitely not want to be named after a plane part just because my dad liked planes. Actually, my dad was airborne in the military. I am so glad he did not name me Airborne. Or Parachute. 😂

I know it has been a popular name to speculate on for them, bur I would be deeply shocked if they name their kid Amelia. I suspect in their eyes, Amelia Earhart was a godless hussy who wore pants. 😞

All the qualities that Amelia Earhart represents are not ones the Duggar family or their IBPL beliefs want any woman to exhibit--beibg progressive, independent, expectation-defying, etc.

I wouldn't be surprised if they named her something plane part-related, though. 

First, I'm not 100% sure JD and Abbie know who Amelia is, and second, if they do know who she is, they probably don't know much about her other than she flew a plane.

They'd imagine her in the cockpit in a long skirt sitting next to her accountability partner brother.

Cockpit ^^

Ahem, that's probably a boy's name for them.

Um...maybe not. That pit sounds very Freudian, kind of like a hot-dog bun. Quite fitting, in fact. It could be Meeechelle's nickname.

As far as plane-related names, I was thinking of cute, little planes, and came up with Puddle-jumper Duggar. I don't hate it! LOL

Yeah that's what I was wondering--what indication do we have that JD or Abby even know who Amelia Earhart is? In fact, I could see them skulking around on some of these boards, seeing these suggestions, being confused/curious because they literally have no clue, looking up Amelia Earhart, and then being horrified with her.

@Jynnan tonnix I like Puddle Jumper too! 😂

JD takes the pilot thing waaaaaaaaaay too far. Being a pilot is not a personality trait. 

That being said if they don't go with something aviation related for the first time in their entire relationship I will be surprised. It took the third time to stop with named after theologians with the Seewalds. Ivy Jane's middle name being after Lady Jane Grey is too much of a stretch. They just like the sound of Ivy Jane. 

It's strange how only the Smuggars chose a letter but most of the couples attempted (or are attempting) a theme.

Any famous missionary pilots? If there's gonna be a namesake, that'll be who it will be. And Jill Rodrigues will cry herself to sleep at night that Tim didn't get off his ass and get married in time to name his kid after a missionary pilot first. 

The End of the Spear guys - Nate Saint, Jim Elliot, etc - would fit the bill. Famous missionary pilot and crew who died in the field. Elizabeth Elliot is Jim's widow and a well-known author in the evangelical community.

Oh that's right--I'd heard of Jim Elliot but didn't quite realize he was a pilot. None of those names feminize well. Hmm Back to the drawing board. 😂
