Duggar first announced the birth of her fourth child in late July. The reality star posted both a photo on Instagram and a YouTube video showcasing some of the details from her birth experience. Although, at the time, she did not share any other details about her newborn. She noted that she and her husband would release a second YouTube video with more information. Days later, they did just that and revealed that they welcomed a daughter named Fern.
Prior to baby Fern’s birth, Duggar and Seewald opened up about how difficult it was for them to choose their child’s name. The parents, who did not know the sex of their fourth child before she arrived, said that they were specifically having trouble coming up with the middle name. Duggar noted that they had “five or six different options” for it.
“Ben and I have been sitting on the [sex] here for forever โ months and months โ and you’d think we’d have a name by now. But it’s harder than it seems,” Duggar said. “I feel like the more kids you have, the more you’ve used up, you know, the favorites. And I haven’t even always liked the same names from pregnancy to pregnancy. It’s kind of changed. I look back on my name list from previous pregnancies and I’m just like, they don’t really just โ none of them are just like, ‘wow.’ So I kind of start from scratch. And Ben too.” Ultimately, Duggar and her husband went with an incredibly lovely name for their little one, whose full name is Fern Elliana Seewald.
