If you've run out of ideas for new names and have to make a poll to have other people decide your baby's fate, maybe you should just stop breeding. Ones ability to breed should never surpass ones ability to come up with ideas. If I had a religion, that would be one of its laws.
What's so odd about this overpopulating resource-exhausting entire-school-of-Jesus-fish family is that they love the limeiight that Discovery Health and TLC gives them, which seems odd since they don't own or watch TV. Ironic, isn't it? TV is the work of the devil except when it pays you to continue in your breeding-addicted SUV-driving millennial consumerism-based lifestyle. Don't let the quaint Little House on the Prairie dresses fool you...they're not plucking raspberries and pulling rutabagas from their garden...there's more brand name non-organic canned products in their pantry than in my local neighborhood grocery store. Watch one of their TV specials...the resources this family consumes is astounding.
What's also ironic is that their family website is now hosted on Discovery Health. Well, I don't see anything "healthy" about having 17 (working on 18) kids.

Too many of us and we can only expect to suffer for fulling up the planet with too many of us.... What are we to do?
It's too bad that making lots of babies is made into cute images. I don't understand how and why humans need to reproduce like rodents. It's not like we're all being eaten by sabor tooth tigers and polar bears.
I like the clown car joke, but it took me a while to get it.
I didn't spend much time "meeting the Duggars." Are they FLDS? I come from a gigantic Mormon family. We had 43 people at our mother's day reunion, yesterday, and not everyone in the family was present. Isn't it a little insane? To be carrying on this way? I mean, when the planet is already suffering, there are billions of kids already without good homes and food to eat? "But we have so much love to give." Well, ok. Adopt. "Because the church/Bible say so." OH, I see. That's a wonderful answer.
If I could shout one thing to the world - just one - and not just to my LDS and FLDS brethren, it would be: STOP BREEDING.
I don't know what their religion is, Bran, they never specified it. I admit to having watched their tv specials, first just to see how a family manages so many kids, then, after I realize it's not just a large family but a large family "because we're doing it for God", out of morbid curiosity the way one would watch a traincrash...horrified, but you can't look away.
I just hope their kids find some way to rebel and escape. I feel so sorry for kids who grow up in these sorts of households and are brainwashed by their parents' unhealthy religion, especially the girls who will be nothing but breeding factories, deprived of education beyond the 8th grade.
I guess what really bugs me is that they use words from a book written by men millennia ago (and yes, the bible was written by men, regardless if they *thought* they were writing on behalf of their "god") and they think its tenets apply today with an overpopulated world and resources in short supply, but also with medical technology to prevent so many infant and child deaths...and to prevent conception.
Such a patriarchal misogynistic culture.
Indeed.
More commentary on the Duggars: The funny part of a clown car is that the little clowns keep tumbling out (Pharyngula)
"I think the superficial news market can only bear one amazing repeatedly distended vagina at a time, and if any of their children try a repeat performance it's going to be ho-hum, and profligacy in child-rearing will be just another symptom & cause of poverty, neglect, and ignorance."
