#fundie pregnancy speculation

[countingandsnarkingon]

According to a Q&A Zach and Kelly Jo did together, multiple GrandBates are on the way but have yet to be announced. I’m going to guess Carlin and Lydia at the very least

[countingandsnarkingon]

Since the family already seems to know about the pregnancies, I’m going to assume we’ll see them in the next few weeks. At least one thanksgiving announcement and then the others in the weeks leading up to Christmas.

I opened IG on my mobile just a couple minutes ago. There was a post from people announcing another baby. I seemed like Zach&Whitney and with the knowledge of several GrandBates coming who have yet to be announced I thought 'there you go' and read the caption below. They wanted just one more baby and it turned out to be twins. So for one minute I was thinking Zach&Whitney were expecting twins. Turned out it wasn't them and I don't know them at all. Big relieve

Well what do we have here? A pregnant Duggar? Looks like Joy is possibly pregnant with GrandDuggar 28 (if Lauren and Kendra have indeed given birth recently). I have suspected for weeks. Looks like a major life/website update is due from the Duggars.

Taken from Facebook as I don’t follow Gabby. I thought Joy also looked pregnant in Jed’s video tonight.

[tooinvestedinfundies]

So, Duggar Data just came out with another amazing post about Katey possibly being pregnant with Duggar-Nakatsu 2 and that baby being Duggar GrandBaby 31. Or that Jed and Katey are at least planning for that eventuality.

But......

What if Katey thought she couldn't get pregnant while breastfeeding Truett and was not expecting the pregnancy. Could that not account for the much later pregnancy announcement?

What if the "Christmas Photo" board is actually for a gender reveal announcement and not just a pregnancy. With a due date in May, then Katey could be 20 weeks at Christmas.

Then Duggar-Nakatsu 2 could be the mysterious Duggar GrandBaby 29 instead of 31.

OK SO ITS LIKE.

Obviously it was very stressful in the way that like. Tubbo was very not having the best time a lot of the time (sometimes Tubbo was a bit better and it was really nice i think the two of them really loved speculating on what Bug would look like and be like and stuff like that while cuddling it was nice) and oftentimes Ranboo would have to be the one taking care of matters like taking care of their family, which now included Tubbo because Tubbo’s pregnancy was fucking ROUGH on him. (Also wasn’t helped by how sometimes Tubbo would cling to Ranboo in a “please for the love of god dont leave if im alone with my thoughts rn im gonna bite my arm off” way) but also taking care of things surrounding Snowchester and its residents (I think Jack and Ponk live there I’m not quite sure who else… maybe Fundy and Puffy? Not sure also the hundred endermen living there <- in my canon) and it was just like. A lot more than Ranboo realized he was going to be dealing with + combined with how bad Tubbo was feeling the whole time it was VERY stressful for them! I think Ranboo’d also get almost. Protective? Over his family? Possibly due to how tense Tubbo was and that energy infecting Ranboo to be really anxious too.

I think during Tubbo’s c-section Ranboo literally COULD NOT stand being in the room because the idea of seeing someone cut open was obviously EXTREMELY triggering to a post-dying by sword wound and revived with a big scar from it Ranboo. But I think when they got to go back in the stress made him act like a wild animal, instinctively eating Tubbo’s placenta (Enderman thing) and licking Bug clean like a cat. I think during those stressful first few weeks where Bug wasn’t liking normal milk Ranboo discovering that he could breastfeed it was instinct too, along with how they’d carry Bug with them EVERYWHEREEEE like a little tiny baby block very cute but yeah NOT FUN

ohhhh i havent even touched on how the stress of the pregnancy stuff affected Ranboo yet have i,,,,,,

guys i had a dream last night that jinger was hanging out with jana and she and jeremy announced number 2 to her exclusively so i’m gonna trust my subconscious and say that jinger + jeremy are expecting little california blessing number 2

[countingandsnarkingon]

I would have expected announcements from whichever Bates is expecting to announce by now since Zach teased/spoiled it a month or so ago. But, I guess Mama Jane spoiled Esther’s pregnancy basically a month before she officially announced. The announcements have to be coming soon though right?

[fundiepredictions]

Now that Zach has teased that there are pregnancy announcements coming, who should it be according to the data and do you think that’s who it will be or do you personally have other guesses?

Thanks for your ask. I'm very curious who is pregnant.

The data suggests Carlin, Emerson, Lydia or Alyssa. Next one in line to announce is Whitney but she shouldn't announce until february. I haven't included Erin in this because two miracle baby's seems enough but I guess you never know with her. If she is able to get pregnant again, she could very well be an option according to the data.

I have heard people mentioning Tori. I get it. She is the one who is going fast. But Weston was born end of may. Even her smallest spacing (Charlotte -> Cambree) was almost fourteen months. That means baby #6 would arrive mid july 2025. That means maybe Tori just had a positive test like today. While the video is three days old already and had to be recorded and edited, so it probably wasn't recorded three days ago. And before that Tori should have announced and a positive test. So I don't think it's very likely Tori is one of the pregnant ladies.

I personaly think Emerson and Lydia. I think Carlin will wait just a little while longer. Alyssa and Erin are big question marks for me.

[fundiebabynamebible]

Maybe I'm wrong and Kaylee will fall pregnant straight away but i remember it took a few months for Nathan and Nurie to conceive Nehemiah, potentially due to malnutrition.

After J-Rod`s latest post I have to know-will Kaylee have baby #1 before Nurthan have #3?

Just checked the Predictor... Yes, but it'll be close. Hill–Rodrigues #1 is expected on September 28, 2023 and Keller–Rodrigues #3 is expected on December 20, 2023. Obviously, that means Nurie and Kaylee will be pregnant at the same time, so that should be fun. J–Rod will love it.

What are your predictions for Josiah’s and Lauren’s c baby name?

That's a great question and a fun task for me! I had considered doing predictions for Baby C but decided against it since I didn't think there was any chance we'd find out the name anyway. But let's go for it!

Name Predictions for Swanson-Duggar #2 - Boy

We have speculated that this baby is a boy because of the notable absence of bows in pics we have seen, although it's possible it could be a girl too. I will only include boy predictions in this post.

Previous Naming Information

Josiah Matthew Duggar and Lauren Milagro (Swanson) Duggar share one child together, Bella Milagro Duggar (b. 2019) in addition to this speculated baby boy. Additionally, the couple suffered a miscarriage before Bella's birth, and they named this lost baby Asa. The couple has confirmed they are doing an alphabet naming theme, so this baby's name should begin with C- unless they have lost another pregnancy prior to this one.

Preliminary Predictions

Since we have a clear, confirmed theme, I'll begin by making a list of C- boy names in the top 500 or so on the Social Security list from 2021, the most recent year data is available. I will be excluding Charles/Charlie from the list though because this is the name of John and Abbie's second child. Even though he was born after this speculated SiRen offspring, I don't think John and Abbie would have chosen a name already used by another couple.

Carter (#39)

Caleb (#51)

Christopher (#52)

Cameron (#62)

Cooper (#68)

Christian (#72)/Cristian (#331)

Colton (#74)

Connor (#97)/Conor (#462)

Carson (#98)

Chase (#125)

Cole (#132)

Calvin (#145)

Camden (#175)

Colt (#220)

Caden (#230)/Cayden (#289)/Caiden (#419)

Cash (#253)

Crew (#267)

Colin (#269)/Collin (#421)

Callum (#273)

Clayton (#278)

Cohen (#287)

Cruz (#297)

Cody (#312)

Colson (#322)

Cairo (#323)

Chance (#326)

Cade (#340)

Cyrus (#350)

Corbin (#366)

Callan (#375)/Callen (#458)

Cesar (#386)

Clark (#396)

Casey (#446)

Cassius (#485)

I think that gives us a pretty good selection, although there are already some I'd think they'd be much more likely to use than others. I will add another into the mix that wasn't in the top 500 but is Biblical and could still be a contender: Canaan.

As for the middle name, I would say it's pretty likely they would use Josiah's middle name, Matthew. Other contenders might be Dwain or Charles after Lauren's dad.

My Final Predictions

This is a little difficult because the styles and popularity of Asa and Bella are so different. It is nice knowing that there is a definite theme though. I would say the five most likely contenders for the first name in my opinion are Carter, Cameron, Connor, Caden/Cayden/Caiden, and Canaan. However, if Caleb were not the name Michelle had given to one of her pregnancy losses it would be my frontrunner. I don't know if that's enough to prevent them from using it, but it gives me pause at least. Cooper also gives me the same "nicknamey, dog-name" vibe that Bella has.

Overall, I think my top choice is Caden or some spelling variety of that with the middle name Matthew. Here is my list of top ten first and middle name combinations.

Caden/Cayden/Caiden Matthew

Carter Matthew

Connor Charles

Canaan Matthew

Cameron Matthew

Chase Matthew

Colton Dwain

Colin/Collin Matthew

Christian Matthew

Carson Dwain

In Katie and Travis’s new vlog, Katie is telling Papa Bill that he has 33 great-grand children but, when I counted (including the October babies) it’s 32. Now, this of course could just be bad math on Katie’s part or, there could be an announcement coming

Name Predictions for Caldwell-Duggar #4 - Girl

This is part two of name predictions for Joe and Kendra’s rumored fourth baby, girl edition! As mentioned in the first post, I strongly suspect this baby is a boy, but I might as well cover my bases. Plus girls’ names are a little more fun in this case since they already have two daughters to go off of vs. only one son. 

Previous Naming Information

This was discussed at length in the previous post, but Joe and Kendra have three previous children: Garrett David (b. 2018), Addison Renee (b. 2019), and Brooklyn Praise (b. 2021). Their only son, Garrett, was given a family name as his first name. Garrett is both the middle name of his father Joe and the first name of Joe’s mother Michelle’s father Garrett Ruark. David does not have any family ties that I know of (other than Joe’s brother John David - probably a coincidence), but is a classic, Biblical name.

 The girls’ names are a different story. Both of their first names are a style I like to call “trendy in 2013.” Additionally, all children have names with double-letters thus far, which could be unintentional, but also might suggest a pattern. For the middle names, Renee is Kendra’s middle name, like Garrett is Joe’s. Brooklyn’s middle name of Praise completely throws me for a loop though. I guess we could take this to mean we can expect virtue names moving forward, but I don’t know since I would have excepted Grace, Faith, or Hope long before Praise.

Preliminary Predictions

I like to make a list of all the double-letter names from the Social Security Administration’s list of top 500 baby names, so I will do that here. I will exclude any first names belonging to other GrandDuggars, as well as any that don’t make sense for Joe and Kendra due to language, religious affiliation other than Christian, etc. Names that aren’t exactly the same as another GrandDuggar but are really close, or names that have been used as middle names for other GrandDuggars are included but struck out.

Hattie (#459)

Holly (#465)

Braelynn (#472)

Cassidy (#476)

Jessica (#481)

Madelynn (#490)

Jennifer (#493)

Of these, the names that stand out to me as potential choices are Charlotte, Savannah, Lillian, Hannah, Everlee, Brianna, Paislee, Lucille, Summer, and Alyssa.

And some non-double-letter names that might be a fit? Perhaps Olivia, Sophie, Kinsley,  Madeline/Madelyn, Natalie, Haven, Reagan, Emerson, Presley, and Kimberly.

For the middle name, I'm thinking virtue names, but not just the more typical virtue names like Grace, Faith, Hope, and Joy. Going off of Praise, maybe more unusual ones like Mercy, Shalom, Glory, Charity, Constance, Agape, and Patience. Maybe Kendra will pick Christina after her mother, but I kind of doubt it.

My Final Predictions

Even if Joe and Kendra do publicly announce this baby (which is seeming more unlikely every day), I really really think it is a boy. I guess this list could be applied to any future girls they have though! I mentioned in the boys’ post that I prioritized names ending in “-t” because I thought that would pair well with Garrett. I like the similar idea of names ending in “-n” for girls in theory, but that isn’t necessarily reflected in my top choices. If they do have a double letter theme, I think it will be Charlotte for a girl. I think this would go well with all three of her older siblings’ names, is a similar length to the siblings’ names, and would even establish an “A, B, C” pattern for girls’ names. If the name doesn’t have double letters, I'm feeling Natalie. Natalie reached its peak in popularity in 2008 and has decreased consistently since then.

I think Faith has a really good chance of being chosen as a middle name, especially sharing the “long -a” sound with Renee and Praise. Part of me really really wants her to pick Glory though as it’s a guilty pleasure name of mine.

And we’ll end with the top ten list!

Charlotte Faith

Natalie Faith

Savannah Joy

Lillian Glory

Everly/Everlee Grace

Emerson Mercy

Lucille/Lucy Shalom

Kinsley Agape

Olivia Charity

Summer Constance

[poisonfundies]

so i dreamed that justin and claire announced a pregnancy with a youtube video and staged this bit about claire telling justin she was pregnant except she was like, very clearly five or six months along and justin was like ‘what? wow claire this is so special! when did you find out?’ and idk but i laughed so hard i woke up. and hilary spivey was the camerawoman who kept putting her fingers over the lens

[keepingupwithfundies]

Alyssa's been hiding her stomach in all her recent photos. Think we're going to have a Webster #4 announcement soon!

I had checked Alyssa’s stories on IG the day this was sent in, her stomach was visible and looked typical. Her stomach may not be the feature in her recent posts, but she’s not necessarily pregnant. Alyssa also has health concerns to address before a pregnancy would be safe to pursue. -Suz

[19fundiesandcounting]

So I’m thinking that Jessa will announce that’s she’s pregnant in late December and that Lauren will announce in early 2020. Anna and Abbie will probably announce mid year. Then maybe Duggar- Caldwell will be announced in December 2020.
