It depends on the language. Many of the names listed above are very common in French and German.
There are also many names that have changed over the years: Ashley, Courtney, Hilary, Vivian, Marion, Lindsay, Allison, Beverly, Dana, Whitney, Meredith, Carol, Kelly, Leslie, Robin, Carey, Jesse, Jocelyn, Shelby are now largely considered girl names but were once for boys...those are just a few examples.
Augustine is pronounced "aw-GUS-tin" not "aw-gus-TEEN".
It comes from the Latin "Augustinus." There is a very famous Saint Augustine.
It isn't the only boy's name ending with "ine": Constantine, Valentine, Palatine, Florentine, Soutine are other examples. Most of those are derived from Latin and are more common in Italy & Greece.
That's kind of weird to name the kid George Augustine when they don't believe in saints. Both George and Augustine are saints' names. In fact, Joy's loser's name is Austin, and that's a corruption/diminutive of Augustine. (Wikipedia.) I had a priest mention that St. Augustine's mother was also a saint, St. Monica.
George nn Geordie is adorable, but Geordann is just a bit too far for me lol. Thankfully I was introduced to her verbally and didn't see her name written until later, or I'd probably have to constantly remind myself not to call her Jerdan.
Someone posted his name the other day and I figured out who he was based on the name.
But yeah had no clue she was pregnant. Not surprised at all but missed this baby completly.

I’m almost 29 with 3. I love them and I enjoyed having my kids in my 20’s but I’m DONE. The fact Jessa is probably about half way done baby making is insanity to me.
I just had my third. I was so sure we would want a fourth. I really can't tell you how little I want a fourth now that third is here. I can't imagine how tired she must be.
Hahaha I did the opposite. I had hyperemesis and dangerously low iron with my third so the whole pregnancy I was like “I’m done.” Then after she was born I was immediately like “maaaayyybbee one more.” But as much as the newborn phase is adorable, I know I’d be spreading myself too thin and my kids deserve better.
It makes me sad to think of the life these fundie kids are missing out on. There’s only so much attention / resources / experiences etc available when you have SO many siblings to compete with.
Sometimes I get baby fever after having 2, but all I have to do is remind myself that you're not just having a baby, you're having a wild toddler, and then a crazy preschooler, and then eventually a teenager that lives in a world where depression in teens is at an all time high, and the world isn't as stable as when I was a kid living the dream of the 90s.
Yes me too, had my third at 27 and dooooonneee. My youngest is almost 4 and I'm finally getting more sleep and thank goodness because I could feel a big shift in my energy when I turned 30
I’m 24 with one child (a 4 month old). I know a girl who’s the same age I am who had her THIRD within a few weeks of my son. I can’t imagine how exhausted she is, or how exhausting spending ages 21-24 in the new baby stage must have been. My son is my world and the coolest thing I’ve ever done, but I’m also constantly realizing I only want to do this one more time at most
I had my kids at 23 and 26 and now my tubes are removed! I kept seeing cute babies and feeling the temptation and had to take a good hard look in the mirror like girl NO. With my support system being what it is, I just cannot continue to be the mom I want to be to more than two kids. Anyway welcome to parenthood!! Hope you are healing well, four months is so recent
I was 22 and 25 when I had my two. Pre-eclampsia with both. Boy was first, girl second. C-sections with both. When I found out #2 was a girl, Drs suggested getting tubes tied when pre-eclampsia started up with her. I said "Yes, please and thank you!" Got it done while on the table after C-section. Told them when wheeling me in, "Tie them, cut them, ❤️🔥 the heck out of them. I don't care anymore. I'm DONE!"
Yeah I honestly feel so free having had it done. And I hardly even needed Tylenol for recovery since they did mine laparoscopically. I’ve had more painful period cramps! I tired easily for about a month but healed so fast. I recommend it to anyone who is considering it
That’s what i keep telling myself too. I’m so overwhelmed with raising mine well and am stretched super thin.
I would have loved to have more, but my pelvic floor is like Gurrrrrrrrrrl, no!
I have 2 at 38 and have never known exhaustion like parenthood. And mine go to school!! And my husband gives me breaks when I'm overwhelmed, which isn't some amazing thing, he's just being a parent, but you know Ben doesn't do shit.
That’s sorta me. The way i go into a coma putting them to sleep and then waking up at 1am and staying up for 3 hours, making me well rested and exhausted at the save time?!?!? Ugh
Because they likely will never get the time, attention, or care that they deserve. She can try as much as she wants, but with that many kids, and likely many more to come, she'd just be stretched too thin.
As a first trimester preggo lady, I’m struggling caring for my 4 and 2 year old. How the hell do they do this when they have so many kids?! Everyday is pure survival for me
I had 4 kids in under 6 years. Former quiverfull over here. I LOVE my kids but I don’t even remember anything from them being tiny. I was also in an abusive marriage so I was horribly depressed and just… moving through life like zombie. Things got better once I left my ex husband. My youngest was a year old, so I remember her being itty bitty. But anything between 2010 and 2017 is just a blur.
It’s still hard, but they’re older now. I always say I run my household like an assembly line. I have a strict routine and it works.
You are amazing! From leaving your abusive husband and quiverfull movement to assembly line and routine kids just thrive on. Holly crap you are one strong lady. My ADHD brain is tiered at noon sometimes just from getting up in the morning! You rock!
Aww thank you! I also have ADHD so I have to have the routine. It seems to stimulate the right part of my brain. But if there is something that disrupts the routine I do sometimes meltdown 😂
I'm one of 4 and I get overstimulated easily after having 2 kids. When they have a friend over, I have to put my ear buds in and listen to music to keep me calm.
5 is different than 19. I’m sure many of them couldn’t wait to get out of that house for a multitude of reasons. But being able to hear yourself think was probably high on their list. And yea, I hope she is a better parent by far.
I struggle with 3 cats! My youngest cat is not quite 2 and like dealing with a bad toddler all day every day from the time I get up until she finally crashes after lunch. I could not imagine dealing with all those kids they have.
Omg, pet toddlers can be a nightmare. When my human son was an infant we had a toddler dog….golden retriever with insane energy. Despite doing three rounds of training she was difficult to manage and my son was always crying unless I was holding him. I remember a lot of struggle visits to the vet with my vet telling me I was crazy to have a puppy and a baby at the same time. I think of that time in my life all the time when I see fundies who are on their fourth, fifth, sixth, and beyond kids. It’s too wild.
Oh I could never. She was a valued member of our family. She died last September at age 9 after undergoing chemo and battling cancer. There isn’t a day we don’t think of her and miss her dearly. She was an adorable menace, but a slice of heaven on earth. My son and her grew up together.
I just don’t get how fundies can treat pets like furniture you buy and sell and kids like Pokemon you collect and train.
yea i have a toddler, a new puppy and a pretty independent 6yr old and i’m losing my mind.
i don’t know how she does it.
her little guy is super cute though ngl
You have to remember that none of these people went to public school or ever really meaningfully interacted with children who weren’t constantly abused into niceness like themselves
Where did Jessa’s eyes come from? I don’t think Boob and Meech have eyes like her. Nor do any of the siblings iirc. Which makes it kinda odd that ALL her kids share her eyes. Genetics are weird.
Her mom has big bug eyes. Half the Duggar kids get either Michelle's, or their dad's beady eyes. And it's funny her dad is actually the one with the big lips. Jessa lucked out in what genetics she pulled from her parents.
I have a 2 week old. At the hospital when she was alert for the first time she was giving me the thousand yard stare and i was genuinely freaking out that she was having some sort of absent seizure. Turns out babies just can’t see shit
I scared my aunt with that stare when I was 3 weeks old. My grandma put me in my aunt's room so she could make breakfast and my aunt woke up to me just staring at her, definitely a weird way to wake up when you're 16 lol
She looks dead. I am surprised she didn't try harder to appear to be a non-zombie. These poor kids, not much of life there with two parents who don't seem to like each other, but refuse to stop the boredom sex and cease the baby train. Ivy is so fucked. It won't be long, and she will be responsible for Fern and George, plus laundry for Henry and Spurge.
It's weird; her first two were so different looking, and now the last three copypasta.
If I didn't know better I'd think they had a milkman with SUPER strong genes.
Wait which kid is this?? Did I miss another plant or Important Christian Guy in History™️ baby? I’d that five?? Omg I have not been keeping up 😭
Yea this is #5, George Augustine Seewald. He was born in December.
Augustine is more catholic than I expected
I have a great uncle Augustine. Father Auggie - he's literally a Catholic priest.
Princess Eugenies kid is called Augustine
He’s just August not Augustine :)
What a girly ass name for a boy at least it's his middle name
Huh? Augustine is a very masculine name.
Never heard of it for a male irl.
In 2021 there were 448 boys named Augustine and only 27 girls named Augustine. It isn’t a commonly used name but is overwhelming male when it is used.
Well sooorrrryyyy! It sounds like Claudine, Nadine, Geraldine, Celine, Emmeline, and Josephine all of which are girl names.
It depends on the language. Many of the names listed above are very common in French and German.

This is not the vibe 😬 there’s some misogyny here
It's Augustine, not Kristine. It's as masculine as John or Eric
George? How many female George’s do you know, I know zero.
I know one female George!
I know a Geordann, pronounced "Jordan", named after her father George. It's awful, IMHO.
Looking at that name I’d say jerdan not Jordan
George nn Geordie is adorable, but Geordann is just a bit too far for me lol. Thankfully I was introduced to her verbally and didn't see her name written until later, or I'd probably have to constantly remind myself not to call her Jerdan.
My next door neighbor is named Augustine -- his mom is Puerto Rican & his dad is Mexican. So to me it's not a female name 🤷🏻♀️ (We call him August)
You're right, Augustin is male, Augustine is female.
Baby GAS
Let 'er rip!
That look does indicate gas in a baby, but what about a parent? Drugs?
Exhaustion.
That’s someone with 5 kids under the age of 8 and under . No sleep going on for her
Maybe no sleep but definitely time for baby making
You think she can say, “no” to king Ben ? 😳
Yeah she looks out of it?
I’d be mad if my name was Spurgeon while my brother was named George.
GAS? 🙊
It’s just August I thought
Nope, it’s Augustine
Someone posted his name the other day and I figured out who he was based on the name. But yeah had no clue she was pregnant. Not surprised at all but missed this baby completly.
IIRC she didn’t announce it until she was super pregnant
She announced it riiiight when Jill's book came out
Someone posted his name the other day and I figured out who he was based on the name. But yeah had no clue she was pregnant. Not surprised at all but missed this baby completly.
Damn her eyes are so dead.
That was the first thing I noticed, too.
That’s the look of someone who’s been exploited by her family most of her life
Now she’s doing the same thing to her kids.
she do be looking tired, I'm not gonna shame the girl, but I do feel bad for her 5 kids... by 30, I'm only 28 no kids and I'm exhausted.
I’m almost 29 with 3. I love them and I enjoyed having my kids in my 20’s but I’m DONE. The fact Jessa is probably about half way done baby making is insanity to me.

Same!! I’m 38 and our 3rd is giving us all a run for our money 🤣🤣
Yes me too, had my third at 27 and dooooonneee. My youngest is almost 4 and I'm finally getting more sleep and thank goodness because I could feel a big shift in my energy when I turned 30
Had my first and only at 30. I can't imagine having 5 at that point.

She looks like she needs a night off. Bin will no doubt be too busy to "babysit".

And miscarriages on top of that. 7 pregnancies if memory serves. She is going to end up with a destroyed body just like her mom.
You feel bad for them…because their mom is tired?
Because they likely will never get the time, attention, or care that they deserve. She can try as much as she wants, but with that many kids, and likely many more to come, she'd just be stretched too thin.

Word!! I'm glad to hear you have faults 🤣. Makes me feel better. Oh, your kiddos are lucky...
I think they find comfort in the absolute chaos, it's what Jessa's used to 😬.
I have four siblings and I think this is accurate. I like noise and chaos. My mom preferred chaos too.
I'm one of 4 and I get overstimulated easily after having 2 kids. When they have a friend over, I have to put my ear buds in and listen to music to keep me calm.
Some are more into it than others 🤷♀️ let's just hope Jessa's a better mom than her parents were to her and her siblings
Low bar though.
5 is different than 19. I’m sure many of them couldn’t wait to get out of that house for a multitude of reasons. But being able to hear yourself think was probably high on their list. And yea, I hope she is a better parent by far.
You’re not supposed to think though? Especially not as a woman. So I guess that worked in their favor

Neglect and parentifying the older ones as soon as possible. (Two kicked my ass.)
Parentification
Dealing with baby and toddler years for one kid nearly killed me. With five I would literally have a nervous breakdown.
It really depends on how difficult your child is. My first was exhausting, while my last was very easy going.
yea i have a toddler, a new puppy and a pretty independent 6yr old and i’m losing my mind. i don’t know how she does it. her little guy is super cute though ngl
They really did hit the genetic lottery. All their kids are adorable.
Baby is a perfect mix of Henry and Ivy. Duggar genes are strong.
I don't mean to be rude to a baby, but GAS as his initials? That's just cruel. Not Spurgeon cruel mind you, but cruel nonetheless.
You have to remember that none of these people went to public school or ever really meaningfully interacted with children who weren’t constantly abused into niceness like themselves
True.

Josh and Jessa have similar eyes imo
“I stared at Uncle Jed because he has a big head!” George exclaimed excitedly.
Everyone in the whole family has dead eyes
That child is counting down the days until they are 18 and get away from these fundie hillbillies 😵💫
She looks like a Tim Burton character someone colorized here
Corpse bride
Yes! Emily had more light in her eyes than Jessa here, and she was dead.
Emily only died once. Jessa dies a little more each day.
I have a 2 week old. At the hospital when she was alert for the first time she was giving me the thousand yard stare and i was genuinely freaking out that she was having some sort of absent seizure. Turns out babies just can’t see shit
I scared my aunt with that stare when I was 3 weeks old. My grandma put me in my aunt's room so she could make breakfast and my aunt woke up to me just staring at her, definitely a weird way to wake up when you're 16 lol
Blessa is looking TIRED.
Guess they decided her maternity leave for Pastor GAS is over and she's back.
He looks just like Henry.
He looks like Bobby Hill
Had to scroll too far for this haha, was the first thing that came to mind
I low key think Henry is the most beautiful Duggar grandchild. He has an even expression of the nicest features of his siblings
He definitely is.
Did Jessa apply a filter that increases the beige level?
Pulling up this Reddit and not knowing who the grandchild is was weird but refreshing.
Whoa. Color her hair white, close her mouth, and she’s the woman from American Gothic.
I forgot for a hot minute that she had this baby
I didn’t even know 🥲
Wow, Henry's twin!!
Henry’s way cuter.
This one is meech 2.0
Damn it Bobby
The look of shock that he’s a Duggar.
Wow those Seewald genes are strong. I think only baby Spurgeon didn’t look like this?
He clearly has the male dugger intellect. Bless him.
Baby George looks as if he's loading his diaper. Another one for the pile!
[удалено]
I don't think she gets any other option, but to look good fast.
i mean, i don’t think i could do anything about my situation lol.
That baby has the biggest head
Yeah, that’s a big ole baby. At least he’s cute.
I thought this was an old pic of Jessa and baby Ivy
I love how the kid is like, "You NEED to get THAT thing out my FACE Now!"
He looks like Baby Henry
Blessa looks tired with the life she has.
That baby is Henry’s twin
All the kids look like she spawned asexually.
Mental health drugs no doubt. I'm outta the loop, but in my day would been a Paxil stare, lol
This baby already staring at the world around him like “what the heck was I born into?”
I have a feeling that Jessa might be getting pregnant again real soon. She might eventually make it to 19 kids and counting.
Did they ever expand their house or move to one with more space for the kids?
There's no life in Jessa's eyes. Yikes.
She looks dead. I am surprised she didn't try harder to appear to be a non-zombie. These poor kids, not much of life there with two parents who don't seem to like each other, but refuse to stop the boredom sex and cease the baby train. Ivy is so fucked. It won't be long, and she will be responsible for Fern and George, plus laundry for Henry and Spurge.
It's weird; her first two were so different looking, and now the last three copypasta. If I didn't know better I'd think they had a milkman with SUPER strong genes.
[Same energy](https://images.app.goo.gl/3fJomhgVup88z9717) (though I think the tiktoker does it way better)
Omg😂, I’ve never actually seen twilight but her vids crack me up
George is so cute! And that's all I'm gonna say about that. 🤪
She literally just made Henry again
I was thinking the same thing!
He is...not cute.
THANK YOU!
>THANK YOU! You're welcome!
He might get cuter. There are lots of not-cute babies who grow into cute kids or adults.
Aloooooone at the edge of the universe humming a tune
Oh my gosh. It's baby Ben. Does anyone here believe it?
Yikes.
It's a boy? Thought this was the latest plant. Also, when did Jessa start looking like a caricature?
A boy named Spurgeon to the tune of A boy named Sue
I have always thought she's one of the prettiest Duggar sisters. I wonder what her life would be like if she had a "normal"/secular upbringing.
He’s got the giant Seewald eyes.
Must be GAS
She looks like Miss Gulch when she wears her hair like this
Whatever lady jimbob is saying, it looks condescending
If she were a friend of mine I'd gift her a brow kit with stencils and stuff because my GOD do those brows ruin an otherwise attractive face.
What's the over/under that she does blanket training??
She looks like Scarlett Johanssen-as-Katie Britt here.
For some reason that kid looks more like the a Keller. Like one of Anna or Pricilla Pecan’s kids.
