Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar of Tontitown, Ark., had their eighteenth child Thursday – Jordyn-Grace Makiya, who joins the rest of her J-named siblings.

I am SO sad about this name. I love the Duggars (lol) and this is awful.

Wow, they went trendy.

Unrelated- Tontitown is a hilarious name for a town.

Ewww eww eww eww eww. As if I didn't hate those people enough, did they have to name their daughter something so horrendously awful?

The middle name is dreadful, but I actually don't hate the rest of it. I mean, I would prefer it to be unhyphenated and to have it spelled Jordan, but I think it could have been a lot worse. I like this better than Jinger, Joy-Anna or their pronunciation of Johannah.

How do they pronounce Johannah? If it's anything other than Jo-hann-uh, I would have another reason to smack them.

I personally wish the kid would have gestated longer to prevent, even if it's just a few weeks, that family from producing nutcases.

It is Jo-hann-uh, I just don't like it that way ... whether there's an H or not, I've always known Joanna and Johanna(h) to be pronounced the same way. Well, unless we're talking the German version of Johanna, but that's different.

Johanna

Female of European names: Johan or Johannes (should be pronounced Yo-hann-ah) but I'm sure in most English speaking countries it's used as Joanna. I knew a girl called Johanna at school.

It's better than Jinger... I wonder why they decided to hyphenate it. Jordan Grace would have been fine. Jordyn-Grace not so much.

You gotta remember, the other 17 kids picked out the name, not the parents. They voted on it.

Um, I assume it was the parents who had the stupidity to allow their kids to pick the name?

Still better than Jinger, but I really don't like it. Especially the spelling of Jordan. C'mon.

What little I could find on the Internet about the name Makiya suggests that it's an Arab name, and it's originally masculine. They really messed up on this one.

I think they kre8ivelee spelled Macaiah, which is a Biblical boys' name.

I knew they were gonna name her something utterly horrible and trendy. It looks hilarious with the rest of the kids names.

Ahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahaah I am kind of pleased by this. Stupid Duggars! That's what you get for having your other kids (most of whom are under the age of ten) vote on the name!

This will make "17 Kids and Counting" all the more hilarious, oh yes. I hate the Duggars with fiery passion, but they're amusing, I'll give them that.

This kid got Jinger off the hook with the worst name.
