Jessa Duggar & Ben Seewald Reveal Son’s Name

Proud parents Jessa Duggar and Ben Seewald have revealed their newborn’s name.

The 19 Kids and Counting star, 24, and her husband, 21, announced they named their baby boy Henry Wilberforce in a new TLC video.

They chose the moniker from two “great” men: Matthew Henry and William Wilberforce.

Seewald said that Wilberforce, a British politician and author who worked to abolish the slave trade, is a “real hero” to them.

“He was someone who really walked with God and his closeness with Christ and his joy that he had in the Lord really fueled his life and all that he did,” Seewald shared. “That’s why he was so relentless.”

And the Counting On stars “just thought [the name Henry] was cute,” but they also love Matthew Henry’s commentary series on the Bible.

Th couple’s first son, now 15-month-old Spurgeon, was named after British preacher and author Charles Spurgeon.

“We were joking that people are going to start looking at the books on our fireplace mantle because we had a Spurgeon book up there before he was born, and we also have, on the right side of our fireplace, a six-volume set of the commentary of the Bible by Matthew Henry,” Duggar said.

The Counting On stars welcomed their second child on Feb. 6.

“We are so happy to announce the arrival of our sweet second son,” they shared.

The statement continued:“He was born at 4:26 a.m. this morning, weighing 8 lbs. and 11 oz. and measuring 21 3/4 in. long. Mom and baby are both doing well. We are so thankful to God for this precious new gift of life and are excited to be a family of four! Thanks to everyone for your prayers and well wishes!”
