[QUOTE=Jodi]  
Does anyone else see “Jinger” and think it must rhyme with “stinger”? I’m guessing it some stupid alternate spelling of “Ginger” but I keep reading it as Jinger-rhymes with-stinger.  
[/QUOTE]  
In one of the Oz books, it’s spelt “Jinjur”. 🙂

They seem to go for Biblical names for the boys and tacky kreeAtively spelled ones for the girls, so my picks are:

Girl: Jazzmyne  
Boy: Jonah

I nominate Holy Shit. So that when people ask how many siblings this kid has, their reaction will already tell them the name.

[QUOTE=velvetjones]  
Looks like they’re partial to biblical names.

Maybe they could name the baby Jesus or Judas or even Jehosephat if it’s a boy.

For a girl I’d go with Julia (which is my given name) or Judith  
[/QUOTE]

Jackson Levi was going to be Judah Benjamin.

Why yes, I _do_ watch every one of their specials as they come out on TLC!

This man is from my state. I could never have kids in my entire life, and even if the average number of children/household in Arkansas skyrockets to 8, he would take care of my lack of children.

(I did love his campaign signs a couple of years ago. Huge mass of flesh, that family is.

My picks:

Boy: Jay  
Girl: Jaye

There’s already a James, I think. But if they can use Joy-Anna and Johanna I don’t see why they wouldn’t have a James and a Jim.

Girl: Julietta  
Boy: Johan to go with Johanna.
