Joseph is named for him. Joseph named his son after himself. Josh and Anna just happened to choose the name as their 3rd son’s middle name, No way it was planned. Mason was born just days after Joe’s wedding.<br /><br />David probably stems from the Bible. It’s common in the family as a middle name. In addition to Garrett, Israel and John have it as their middle name. I honestly would be far from surprised if John names his first son David as the first name, I would bet money on it if I was allowed to bet<br /><br />Renee is another repeater. Anna’s middle name is Renee. She named her eldest daughters middle name after hers. Kendra is another in-law who just happened to have that middle name.<br /><br />Michael is another common Biblical name. It”s Jason’s middle name. Josh’s firstborn son’s first name and 2 in-laws (Ben and Derrick) have it as their middle name. In Ben’s case he was named after his father in that regard. Derrick I am not sure<br /><br />Other names are just kids being named for their parents. The whole James thing (Josh for Jim Bob and Michael for Josh and son James after Jim Bob also), Nicole, Martyn, Michelle, etc.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15772312704303573434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-85081693635272239412018-06-28T10:46:27.645-05:002018-06-28T10:46:27.645-05:00I am so happy for you.

It really makes you wonder what Joe would have said if this baby had been a girl. What would he be "excited" to do with her? Exactly...because what have ever seen Jim Bob doing with his daughters except change the oil and change a tire once. Oh, and tearfully give them away on wedding day. Daddies of daughters should expect to put on a tiara and jewels and play princess tea party at some point. Harmless fun that kids love.
