This fam v. The Duggars

[ounceofpeace.livejournal.com]

Through some Facebook stalking I discovered a classmate with quite a few siblings...

Their names:
Julia
Hope
Asher
Lydia
Faith
Phillip
Grace
Keller
Jessie (may be short for Jessica, I'm not sure)
Hannah
Noah
Emma
Joel
Matthew

WDYT? Although some of them aren't completely my style, I think they did a pretty good job. WDYT as compared to the Duggars' children?

Duggar children's (first) names:
Joshua
Jana
John-David
Jill
Jessa
Jinger
Joseph
Josiah
Joy-Anna
Jedidiah
Jeremiah
Jason
James
Justin
Jackson
Johannah
Jennifer
Jordyn-Grace
Josie

Their insistence on using only "J" names makes it kind of impossible for me to favor them over the other family.

I think I like the first family more, just because they use different letters.

I like your classmate's siblings names, but Keller sticks out to me, just because it'd different than the others and it's just odd in general. Male, I'm assuming? I kind of like it.

Ugh. The Duggars can suck it.

However, I like:
Julia
Asher
Lydia
Phillip
Grace
Noah
Joel
Matthew

John-David
Jill
Joseph
Josiah
Jeremiah
James
Josie

I'm not big on the virtue names, but the rest are ok. The sibset in it's entireity is quite good, much better than the Duggars!

I like mostly : Asher, Hannah, Noah, Emma, Joel, Matthew

the only Keller I ever knew was a female. A very loud self-centered one at that.

The only name I like out of all them is Noah.

Your classmate's family's prevails. I like the fact that there isn't any kind of theme going on there.

Yes, the Keller in this family is female too

I'm always amused that people show such vitriol toward the Duggars -- ironically most of the people who do so think that Jon and Kate + 8 are the most awesome family ever. At least the Duggers didn't use fertility drugs, and their large family is in accordance with their spiritual beliefs.

[velvatier.livejournal.com]

...because using fertility drugs is a sign of insanity?

[snowowl.livejournal.com]

Most people who object to the Duggars do so because they feel that increasing the human population by having large families is harmful to society and the earth at large. Within that paradigm, having a large family via natural means should be less of an infraction than someone who purposefully took fertility drugs to have multiple sets of twins per pregnancy.

I don't cater to this ideology, I'm merely pointing out that those who object to the Duggars as "insane" for environmentalist reasons should object to Jon and Kate more -- but they usually don't because Jon and Kate are young and hip (not of the traditional Christian variety).

I actually really like the name Jessa. I could not use it because there are too many Jessica's in mine and my husband's family, but it catches my attention in a good way.

i think that in general, they did a better job than the duggar family did, but i also find most of them to be quite boring.
