What's wrong with Jedidiah? Here in Israel LOTS of boys in religious families are named Jedidiah... it's a lovely biblical name, though of course it sounds foreign to a non-Hebrew-speaking ear.

That's a lot of kids. I don't know how great that is. What about the kids in the middle ? Do they get any attention ?

I guess the next one will be named Jesus, thats why they all have names starting with "J" you know. She has had three c-sections. Looks like she will be able to safely have just one more. Her OB said on one show that her uterine muscles were just worn out and the uterus no longer contracted adequately. Scary.

@huh- my husbands last name is Walker. I had already planned on the middle name Sky for my next baby, not even thinking about the last name. Might have been cute to have a little luke sky walker to resent us for the rest of our lives! I ended up picking Roman Blue ;)

Feel sorry for the kid who got saddled with the name Jedidiah. Although I supposed Jedi could be a cute nickname. However, I suspect this family may not be into Star Wars.

I like the "filed under: overtaxing the planet." Funny.

OK, I don't think I could remember all my kids names if I had more than, say, five. Question - it says she delivered via c-section... I wonder how many babies were previously delivered via c or if this was the first one. I've heard (from friends) that doctors don't advise more than four c-sections per mother over a lifetime due to uterine rupture, etc. issues. When I first heard of the Duggars I'll admit my first thought was why hasn't her uterus just dropped out of her body by now.
