Why not the the baby after Josh's grandfather if is a boy and if it is a girl, name it after grandma. But I am very happy for them.

All I ask is that you pick a new first letter and to not have as many as your parents. Be more fiscally responsible in these economic times.

[Jamie-Leigh]

I think if its a girl the name could be Jellisa(ja-liss-a) or Jenisise (jen-i-sis)

I think if its a boy it could be Jalyise (ja-ly-ic) or Jaden (ja-den)

these are alot of other names for either...
Nicholas
Brandon
mark

yeah thats all i could think of for now...i hope that you well take some of them into consideration but i undedrstand if you dont because its your life you gotta live it to the fulles before its gone...loves of love Jamie-Leigh

P.S.Im 13 years old and my mother pasted away when i was 10 so now its me, my step mom,my dad and my little brother thats 3 years old....he says hi as hes watching the wonder pets

[Megan]

Congrats again! I think Levi if it's a boy or Hannah if it's a girl. They are both nice Biblical names. God bless!

[Jen]

On the Today Show, she mentioned "M" names... as someone suggested. There are a lot of M names, so you wouldn't be opting for "Jinger"
But I like family names... I agree with Margaret. I'd look to the family tree of grandparents and such for name ideas.

[Morgan]

I think they should go with "M" names, like they said on the Today Show

[Dawn]

boy - Elijah James
girl - Makenzie Marie

[Miranda Couch]

Congraduations!!! My favorite name for a boy is Ethan Joseph. But my favorite girl names are Abigail and Liberty Ann!!!

[Johnna]

you should name the baby if girl Johnna Hope

[Kelsey]

I think you should name it something that begins with a "J". How about Johnna

[Genell Davis]

I think the name Emma Grace is BEAUTIFUL. But we dont know what you all are having. I also love the name Gracen(Grayson) for a boy name. Congrats!!! Being parents are the GREATEST!!!!!

[BRENDA PARKER]

I WOULD LIKE TO OFFER THE NAME CAMERON OR CAMRYN FOR A BOY OR GIRL. I AM VEY HAPPY FOR THE ENTIRE DUGGAR FAMILY.

[Liz Bailey]

Jerusha

[Lynn Quitadamo]

Congratulations!! My little boy and I are huge fans of the show and try never to miss an episode!! I would suggest Zachary for a boy which means "gift from God" and Naomi for a little girl. Best wishes and God bless!!

[Erica]

Why not start at A and work your way to Z? It may not be an infinite supply ,but at least it will last you for the first 26 :) Please do something original!One can only know so many people with the same name before going crazy :)

[Lynn D]

How about starting at the beginning of the alphabet and move forward as you add children; child #1 name begins with A, child #2 B, etc.

[Aly]

I think you should choose the letter "M", after the Blessed Mother. Good luck and God Bless to you all.

[leeann]

i think what ever you decide for a name would be great and if you want to have as many kids as his mom and dad should be their choice.But just don't go for welfare or food stamps because that makes it harder on those who don't make enough to take care of their family yet to much for welfare and food stamps.like the mom who had all those kids at one time and now wanting help through the gov.that's not fair to those who work hard and get more taken out of their check its hard to support a family i have one son and its hard.But i also think it is wonderful what your mom and dad have done, a bunch of kids with lots of love i bet mothers day and fathers day is wonderful so good luck and congratulations with your first kid enjoy the life and love of this child any many more if you plan.by the way you have a beautiful house it must be nice to be able to build a house that nice and best wishes if his mom and dad decide to have more.Good luck to you all and best wishes.

[Bella]

I thnk that you guys should name the baby if its a girl Anna Michelle Duggar and if it's a boy then you should name it Joshua.

[Katie]

I think you should choose the letter "a" to start all the names. (After the baby's mother Anna!) But, I don't want to interfere with your personal likings!

[Anonymous]

How about the letter "M". If you have girls, name them Mary ______. You can call them by their middle names. Mary Ann, Mary Jo, Mary Margaret, Mary Grace, etc. Boy names you have Mark, Matthew, Michael, Max, Micah, etc.

[Mandy]

So, I am going to try and give you some names that do NOT start with a "J"

Caitlyn
Landon
Evan
Katheryn
Kendall
Gavin
Garrett
Matthew
Nicholas
Braeden
Taylor
Tyler
Trevor

and then my 2 boys are: Dylan Mack and Thomas William (Will)
We took the great-grandfathers names from both sides with Will's name and my dad's middle name for Dylan's middle name

[Laurie]

What about the letter 'A' for girls, like Anna
and 'J' for boys, like Joshua?

A= Andrea, Ashley, Arianna, Amanda, Allison, Adrienne, Alexandria, Amy (after cousin!), Aarika, Abigail, Adyson,

J= Jacob, Jeremey, Jimbob (after grandpa!), Joshua Jr., Jaron, Jared, Jonah, Jonathan, Joel, Jayden, Julian, Jeffrey,

best wishes!!!

[Dawn]

my favorite girsl
name arissa nicolette. or arianna nicole .boys names are Keegan ray
and nickloas ray.

[Sue]

Start a new tradition (or at least semi-new)!! Start all your boys with the a J and all your girls with an A (for Jose and Anna).

[jaz]

I think Emmaline Duggar would be a nice name for a girl. For a boy Finley Duggar souds nice. Good luck

[Laura]

Congratulations! Name the first one after a family member that really has a special place in your hearts. However, if you don't, for a girl I like Sarah Ruth or Mary Elizabeth. For a boy, I like John Lucas or Daniel James.

[Mandylou95]

I think for a boy: Timothy (To Honor God) Michal (Who is like God?)
For a Girl: Janet (God is Gracious) Grace (Grace of God). You could also try www.babynames.com

[Courtney Wright]

I think Levi for a boy because Levi was one leader of the tribes in the Old Testament. He was strong courageous and a caring family man. Hopefull you child no matter what it is will be all of the following. As for a girl I think that Mary Catherine would be a pretty yet strong, graceful name. Either way name the child something that the entire family will love.

[vixtex]

Juniper

[Christine]

I think that some perfect duggar names would be
Addison Faith Duggar
Abigail Michelle Duggar
But whatever you name your child is your choice, not anyone elses
God Bless!

[Pat]

First of all, congratulations on your new announcement. I have been waiting to hear this good news. My suggestion for a girl would be Michelle Faith, and a boy, Mikah Joshua.

Pat

[Kristin Harp]

Have you considered just going through the book each time you have a baby.....put them in order A-Z. That way you never get stuck in one section of the book :) like J LOL! Maybe God will give you 26 even....Many Blessings but most of all a Healthy baby. Kristin

[Kim]

I think letter "D" for anna &Josh baby

[Maddie]

I think that for a boy you should name the baby Kayden James. For a girl you should name it Jayde Marie

[Maddie]

for a boy what about Milo Joshua or for a girl Hayden Marie

[Anna Gaona]

Congratulations on the new baby. May God Bless your family.

If it's a girl how about Michelle and your mom's name.

For a boy Matthew Jim-Bob your dad's name.
Enjoy your new blessing.

[Debbie]

First of all, CONGRATS!! I am a mother of three little blessings and naming them is one of the funnest things to do!! I happen to lean toward K names, although my childrens names are James Matthew,Nikolas Alexander, and Kyleigh Ann-Grace:) Some K names that i LOVE, (Kyleigh of course:)) and Kamryn,Kassidy,Kayson,Kayden,Kadence,
and Karter....... One name that i have always loved for a girl is Avery Grace,sounds so cute:) And Mckenna is cute too:) For a boy, i love the names Jonah,Brayden,or Brennan....... I wish you both all the luck,and I hope that you enjoy your little blessing from God:)

[Carlee]

If you want to keep the tradition of the whole first letter thing, i suggest this website http://www.babynames.com/ you can pick a letter and they will give you a whole list of names for each letter. Now all you have to do is pick a letter and you won't have to deal with thinking of a good name!

[jaime]

[Nicole]

Congradulations!! I am very happy for the two of you and the entire Duggar family. I think you should use the letter "A" for the first baby and work your way down the alphabet for as many children that God blesses you with.
Here's ideas for the first two.
Anya for a girl, Brenna for a girl, and of course for "J" Jim Bob and for "M" Michelle.

[Allyson]

I'm very happy for you guys! I was waiting for this to happen! :)

Why don't you name the babies by the alphabet? Like the first A, second B, third C etc.
It would be kind of the opisite of what your parents did so it would be cool.

I am the oldest of 5. My name is Allyson Christine.
My sister is Emily Elizabeth.
My brother is James Harris III (Jimmy)
My other brother is Daniel Anthoney
My baby sister is Kathryn Margret.
And tomorrow my mom is having another one!

Good luck to you and your baby!

[Kim Shuler]

Douglas Levi Duggars!

Doug Duggars is awesome....you could call him Dougy Duggers when he's still tiny. :)

Then you could name the next ones
David and Drew.

For a girl I'd go with:

Dolores Mary (Dolly Duggars)
Daisy Leigh
Dina Pearl

[Monia Katarzyna]

Congratulations!! :)
I particularly like:
Evangeline (girl), Levi (boy)
