Oh, They where in a recent People magazine. And I've seen their Discovery Health specile.

---

I like James, Johanna and....that's about it. :0

If I had that many children, I would get to use a bunch of my favorite names! So seeing someone use only J names makes me sad. If they wanted to theme, I think they should have at least varied it and used J & M names.

---

Jim Bob - Is this a nickname for James Robert? Or his real name? Either way I don't like it though.
Michelle - love.

---

John David (17) - Love David, like John, but not together.
Jessa (14) - Seems incomplete. I think Jesse would have been nicer. Even Jessica would be better, though I don't like Jessica that much.
Jinger (13) - Ginger reminds me of a dogs name. And it doesn't look appealing spelled Jinger.
Joseph (12) - Prefer the feminines of this name, but Joseph is classic and always nice.
Josiah (11) - Dislike Josiah, this name annoys me.
Joy-Anna (10) - Don't like hyphened names, and Joy-Anna sounda a little annoying. But I could get used to it. Would prefer Joanna or Johanna.
Jeremiah (8) - This is an okay name. Not sure if I like Jeremiah or Jeremy better.
Jedidiah (8) - So harsh! Reminds me of Star Wars. Eeef.
Jason (7) - I like Jason, but would prefer Joshua. It's nice, but seems strange and plain against stranger names like Jedidiah.
James (5) - NMSAA. Would prefer Jaime.
Justin (4) - I dislike Justin.
Jackson Levi (2) - Like Levi. Would prefer Jack.
Jennifer - I like Jennifer.

I like:

---

Jessa
Jason
James (mn)
Jackson

---

I thought they had 16 children though.

how many times have we heard about this now? There's a search button for a reason... and maybe we should all leave the Duggar's alone now.

You left out some of the children...

---

The children are:

---

Joshua (19)
Jana (17)
John David (17)
Jill (15)
Jessa (14)
Jinger (13)
Joseph (12)
Josiah (11)
Joy-Anna (10)
Jedidiah (8)
Jeremiah (8)
Jason Michael (7)
James (5)
Justin (4)
Jackson Levi (2)
Johannah Faith (19 months)
Jennifer Danielle (due July 27)

This I can't understand

---

I've heard about this family a million times, and one thing that always pops into my head is why on earth would you limit yourself to one letter like that? I'd never want to feel like I was using a name just to keep the J theme rather than a name that I really loved.

---

As for the actual names, they have been posted so many times before, which I'm sure people will mention to you. I like Jessa, Josiah, James and Jackson. Jinger is an abomination, and quite a few of these names are way too close for siblings.

What do I think about the names or the 17 children?

---

Jim Bob - uh, not good!
Michelle - plain

---

John David (17) - not bad
Jessa (14) - why not Jessica?
Jinger (13) - prefer Ginger
Joseph (12) - love
Josiah (11) - like
Joy-Anna (10) - not too bad
Jeremiah (8) - decent
Jedidiah (8) - a little on the wild side
Jason (7) - too plain
James (5) - love
Justin (4) - not a fan
Jackson Levi (2) - not bad
Jennifer - alright, awful 80's

This has been posted about tons on this site. Large families who are in the news and on TV a lot are generally talked baout right away on here. you can use the search function if you want to see what otehr peopl have said. I personally dislike all of the girls' names and like Josiah, Jeremiah, and Levi for the boys.

The whole one single eltter thing is bad imo.
