As we learned yesterday, Jessa Duggar has named her firstborn son Spurgeon Elliot Seewald.
The name has drawn a fair amount of criticism, but everyone agrees that the baby himself is cute as can be.
“Can’t believe my baby boy is already one week old!” Jessa captioned the above photo on Instagram last night. “So grateful to God for this precious little gift. #BabyQuincy #SpurgeonEliotSeewald.”
Yes, it seems Jessa and Ben will be referring to lil Spurge as Quincy in his day-to-day life.
We’d ask why they didn’t just name the kid Quincy, but the Internet has already given the Seewalds enough of a hard time over their unusual choice of name.
Jessa and Ben explained the name Spurgeon in a YouTube video, and it seems the odd moniker is inspired by a 19th Century preacher named Charles Spurgeon.
So why didn’t they just name the lad Charles? We may never know, but we promise at some point we’ll stop fixating on this kid’s bizarre name.
It won’t be easy, but instead we’ll focus on the fact that he’s one adorable tyke.
Which is great, but he’ll need to be the cutest kid in class to distract people from the fact that his name is Spurgeon. Sorry. We tried.
