Jessa Duggar Seewald’s 6th Baby Finally Named

Baby names can be hard, especially if the couple wants there to be meaning behind the moniker. Ben and Jessa Duggar Seewald just welcomed their sixth child and have slowly been revealing more details. They have a vlog where they have taken fans and followers through the whole birthing process, from contractions to labor to delivery. Counting On fans were eager to learn the gender, which they share with their children first. Then, the kids break the good news to the rest of the family, and it is always very exciting. The last part of the puzzle is the naming and sharing of that news.

In her recent vlog regarding her birth story, Jessa and her family finally unveil baby number six’s name. Ivy is holding him and wonders what he will be called. That is when they say they are not sure, so she states that “Patrick” is a good name. Jessa and Ben explain that this may be a middle name, but what about his first? That is where their daughter, Fern, comes into play. She is obsessed with her baby brother, whom she thinks they should name “Edward.” That seems to work for the family, and they ultimately name him Edward Owen.

Immediately, Counting On fans loved the name that they chose for him. They felt it was perfect and suited him extremely well. It was Fern and Ivy who could not stop loving on him, and they just wanted to kiss and snuggle him. Furthermore, they told Jessa Duggar Seewald that they think he is so cute and cannot wait to have him sleep in the baby crib. Jessa also shared with the camera that she has more than enough love for all of her kids.

A Fantastic Name

Counting On fans shared their thoughts regarding the name on social media, and were so happy that this is what they chose. They felt it was a strong moniker, and the family did a great job with naming him:
