Help[Opinions] Duggar BA
Josh and Anna Duggar welcome a son, Mason Garrett, brother to Mackynzie, Michael, Marcus and Meredith. Looks like they're continuing with the M theme. I'm surprised they haven't used Matthew yet.
The other Duggar grandchildren are Jill's kids Israel and Samuel, and Jessa's Spurgeon and Henry.

What can I say? At least there are some lovely M names for girls they could use down the road (Marina, Madeleine, Marielle). I also like Malcolm.
Spurgeon is a travesty of a name. I don't watch the Duggars' TV show, however, I saw a clip where Jessa's husband was introducing their ds -- with a self-satisfied smile, I might add. I wondered then how it was possible for one to be so clueless. Apparently, the boy was named after Charles Spurgeon. I'm sure even he hated his surname. Why couldn't the couple have named their ds Charles? I guess because then people wouldn't know he was named after Charles Spurgeon. Anyway, Charles is NMS at all, but Spurgeon? Poor tyke.

Mason is boring, in my opinion. Garrett is nice though, it just doesn't go that great with Mason.
I prefer Matthew to Mason, even though Matthew is just as popular.
But Spergeon and Henry? They just don't sounds right together or fit together, a normal name and a very weird one, but then again Henry has a un normal middle name.

Spurgeon is just so gross. I ate too much General Tso's Chicken at the skeezy Chinese takeout last night and have been spurgin' ever since.

To me it sounds just too close to the old high school word, "splooging."

Agree
Spurgeon is a disaster of a name.

"We need a name that starts with an M, both to adhere to my parents' established precedent of giving all of the children names that start with the same letter, and to adhere to our individual choice of that letter being M."
"Okay.....I know! Let's give him the most popular, trendy M boys' name at this time, Mason! Saves the trouble of thinking!"
"Well done, darling."

I was going to say Matthew is one of one of Josh's brother's middle names and that's why they haven't used it (Michael is too, but it's also Anna's father's name). Buuuut Garrett is one of the boy's middle names too, so... I guess they just like names that are more 'unique' to their community. They probably know tons of Matthews.
Samuel's BA was never announced here, probably because it was uninteresting. Samuel Scott.
Edit: oooh hey I guessed Mason http://www.behindthename.com/bb/baby/4801723

Good to know. I didn't think to check the extended family. They're ok with repeating names if they're family names, but no proof on if they will repeat sibling names that aren't already honoring. So maybe they'll get to Matthew if they run out. There's not that many more popular M names that aren't really similar to names they've already used.
If they have another, I'm thinking Max (a bit much with the other M-k sounding names but that never stops them) or Miles/Milo before they use Matthew.

Mason is probably a combination of occupational surnames being trendy and -son names being trendy, but it went from #12 to #2 in 2011, after one of the Kardashians used it for their son.

Yes but it means "stonewarker, bricklayer" in your language..
It is so strange!
I know that someone likes this things...
...but it is #4 !!!
Why a whole nation gave their children a name after a so poor and hard occupation?? TT

It does, but most people don't use it as a word (as far as I've experienced-- most people just say bricklayer if they're talking about someone laying bricks. If someone said "he was a mason", I'd assume they were talking about the Freemasons. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freemasonry)
And many people don't care about the meaning if they like the sound. Hunter, Parker, Tyler have all appeared in the top 50 despite being occupations.

I don't think the word "mason" has a bad connotation in the US. Although I will admit, my SO has done some bricklaying, and he says he hates it.

Sigh.
