We suspect the Duggar family ran out of names that begin with the letter J, forcing new mom Jessa Seewald to look elsewhere for inspiration. The Duggar daughter has finally chosen a name for her infant son, and it's safe to say that it will never pop up on one of those baby-name popularity lists.
Jessa and husband Ben Seewald announced that they have named their son Spurgeon Elliot Seewald in a video uploaded to YouTube. The little boy was born on November 5.
So, why Spurgeon?
"Charles Spurgeon was a preacher who lived back in the 19th century and he had a big impact on our lives,” Seewald explained in the video. “Elliot, that was the last name of Jim Elliot and Elizabeth Elliot, and Jim Elliot was a missionary.”
There you have it. Sounds like little Spurgeon has some big shoes to fill. May we suggest Spur as a nickname?
