But before the Duggar duo announced the sex of the baby, several fans guessed that they were going to welcome a daughter in the fall. “Josiah you and Lauren are my favorite couple and I think it will be sweet to see you and Lauren have a girl first for your second child being born in November,” one fan commented. “I think y’all could name her Meghan or Olivia.”
After the couple revealed the news, another follower replied to the Father’s Day post with more name suggestions. “I know my opinion shouldn’t matter but I think a beautiful name for your baby would be Rain which is short for rainbow which symbolizes a baby that is born after a miscarriage,” they wrote. “Regardless I’m sure your baby will be beautiful, godly and kind like her mother. I’m praying for a healthy, full-term pregnancy and for a healthy baby.” We’re sure Lauren and ‘Siah appreciate the well-wishes!
