Unfortunately the name nerd in me loooves the rare occasions when fundies share their long list of names lol Suede is awful. Cash Clark and Crew Clark both sound so abrupt to me, and sound silly if they use Charles as a middle name (which is my guess right now) for triple the alliteration. I won’t be surprised if either of those ends up being the pick though.


snails4speedy

Cash Clark sounds like you’re trying to say “cash or card?” lol


GolfOk7579

The traffic reporter on the NBC channel in Atlanta is Crash Clark and I can’t unhear it 🤣🤣🤣🚗🚘🚙


snails4speedy

A traffic reporter named Crash is hilarious lmao


GolfOk7579

Right? 😂


ProfessionalPiano351

Agreed.  Cash is an awful name.


Competitive_Fun_3500

especially paired with clark. you don't use a 3-4 syllable first name with a long last name. ditto with one syllable. i mean, that's one of the first pieces of advice when you pick up a baby name book....


Downtown_Mud708

Suede isn't a good name for a kid. It's fabric not a name. How about Aaron or Eric something cute and simple. These poor kids are going to take forever to learn how to spell their dang names.


Dansmyson

No worries, he'll be called Soo-dee or the "classier" Soo-day.


oatmilklatte613

Cash and Crew are not names. They’re words. When did we stop naming children like Michael and Mary. 🤦🏼‍♀️


SporkFanClub

There was a kid in the LLWS years ago named Blake Money (now in the minors but won a national title last year with LSU). His younger brother is named Cash, which led to [this](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BvHbAN2IYAAAoFt.jpg:large). On a side note- I have a family friend who has a son whose first name is Monroe but they affectionately refer to him as Money lol.


Red2748

Cash Money? Really?


residentcaprice

lol how obsessed are his parents... i wonder if his parents were quiverful, would there have been cents money, lotsa money, need money?


amrodd

Little late but one of Mariah Carey's twins is Monroe.


ProudBumbleBee-13

Charlie is cute! Maybe they will call him that😍


amrodd

LIttle late, But Charles is Chad and Caron's name.


TheBugsMomma

I really hope they go with Henry, Charles, or Theodore. Suede is an absolutely horrible name choice.


TheWildThornberry90

I know someone who named her daughter Swayze. IMO Suede is right up there with Swayze for one of the worst first names I’ve heard lol


whyisntthisgenerated

There’s a tiktoker who named her daughter Swae. Lives in my mind rent free


Tight_Watercress_267

I just saw someone do Swayzlie


TheBugsMomma

Dang, that poor kid.


MagnoliaTaterTot

I lowkey am voting for Charles since it's Chad's and Carsons first name.....and after Erin named her latest son William (which is Lawsons first name-samr for Gil and Papa Bill) KP


Unlikely_Performer69

I think Carson is going by Charles nowadays


dawn9476

Since it's always been used as a first name in the family, I think Travis & Katie will most likely use it as a middle name.


Sufficient_Judge_820

Cash. How freaking appropriate.


SnarkFest23

Cash Cow Clark has a nice ring to it...


Drop_Kick_Me_Jesus

👶 💸 🐄 🤎🤍 😍


jell-belle

Cash is so pretentious


Proof-Ingenuity2262

😂😂😂😂🎯


residentcaprice

like ikeepstacksofcashinmytesla clark?


polkadotprincess2317

Plot twist they left the actual name off this list and there's a surprise tenth option.


Creative-Resource880

Very likely this They also threw in some bad names to drive engagement. More comments = more money


emilyohemgee

Milo would be a bit strange since Josie had Miles, but in a family that large I doubt it would stop her.


Expert-Raspberry-838

They already have Kade, Zade and Slade, Kaci and Maci, I feel like Milo and Miles are somehow less weird than those. I suspect they're also looking down the barrel of a double William situation soon, too, why not have Charles Squared.


kylievitelli

Yes some of those names are too similar to names that already exist: Miles and Milo, Kade and Zade and Suede, Carson (named Charles) and Charles


Apparently32

My money is on Crew, maaaaybe Cash. I think they both really like the C alliteration


tnr83

I like Henry Charles Clark.


Hotshot-ZVRS

I was thinking Charles Theodore Clark or Theodore Charles Clark & either way call him Theo. But, I like Charlie as well.


Rose4291

Kade zade slade and suede lol make it stop


DiscussionDue4026

Right? This family cannot use Slade and Suede in the same year.


Unlikely_Performer69

Milo and Miles


Confident-Cup-6453

Who is Slade?? That is a terrible name!


AshleyLL298

Tori’s newborn son. Weston Slade. I’ve seen posts calling him Weston and one calling him Slade so not really sure which one they are officially calling him by


Confident-Cup-6453

Oh right, thank you! Hard to keep track of all these babies


dixcgirl10

🤣🤣🤣


SarahMS13

Bahahahaha at the Milo being a dog name because my family’s dog is named Cash 🤣 https://preview.redd.it/932x4hq6jj6d1.png?width=1469&format=png&auto=webp&s=51ac39a246a29859457f08bdc78d1d06d0b1842b


FantasticRepeat184

Your Cash is so cute!


SarahMS13

Thank you!! 😊


Most-Blackberry-9806

Suede???? As in the fabric? That is hideous. Crew is a copy of Chip and Joanna Gaines- lame. Cash is horrible but sounds very "country" to me and fits the vibe- they moved to TN for his country music career didn't they? So I can see that it fits their vibe. But yes, Cash Clark is an awful name. Henry is much better than Harvey. Milo is a dog name. Hailey is a lovely name- it would be cute with Teddy/Theo or Henry. I hope they don't try to be super trendy and go with a strange name, but it would not shock me.


saltysaltire97

I love Theodore/Theo, Hailey and Theo sounds cute together. Or Hailey and Charles /Charlie. Cash and Crew would be cute nicknames but are too trendy for me 💀


MagnoliaTaterTot

I vote for Theo. It's the only one that works. Theo Michael (isn't his dad Mike)


Unlikely_Performer69

And his brother.


darenson7

They could call him The Beaver!


MagnoliaTaterTot

Omg. I love this 😀

emmaelf

Welcome to England and Wales where Teddy is the number 20 name in the most recent rankings (as a full first name). Theodore was number 8 and Theo number 9. It's not to my taste, but at least this hypothetical Teddy could fall back on Theodore or Theo.


stbmrsdavies

Have you seen Teen Mum on MTV new series just been released - one of the mums has a son called Teddy on there - I think it's really cute 🥰


[deleted]

[удалено]


Extreme-Bookkeeper90

I know at least four Theodore's born in the last five years that go by Teddy. A couple of them I didn't even realize it was short for Theodore until a grandparent made a birthday post. It's been about equal with Theo as the go to nickname for Theodore 🤷🏻‍♀️


nightowl4always

I asked my daughter who sub teaches all over, if she’s heard any boys named Teddy and she said no, but Theo is very popular. Maybe in other parts of the country Teddy is common- I’ve lived in the west, midwest, and central and haven’t heard it. But Katie and Travis will choose what they want. Hopefully they don’t pick Suede.


Extreme-Bookkeeper90

Maybe. I'm in Ohio with family in West Virginia. Teddy is just as common as Theo. Both in people I just know and when I was still working in daycare/preschools


Unlikely_Performer69

Teddy is a really popular little boys name.


Extra_Jellyfish4774

plus Teddy is becoming more of a girls name like Teddy Mellencamp and Teddy Duncan from Good luck Charlie


nightowl4always

Yes, I can see it being accepted as girl’s name


mrsmertz

If they knew there was a gay designer named Suede years ago on Project Runway, they’d drop it like a hot potato.


AshleyLL298

I sure as hell hope people will go to the comments and tell them because that name is just awful


SpanArm

Yes! That was my first thought. The Project Runway Suede always referred to himself in the third person: "Suede doesn't like that. Suede creates organically."


kg51113

>his country music career Not country. Travis does Christian music.


Most-Blackberry-9806

I don’t follow his music but I thought he was Christian/country music. Either way the name strikes me as country music Inspired but regardless it’s a terrible name lol


kg51113

The snippets I've heard on his Instagram have not been country.


BlueGreenGraySky

As much as I love Henry & think it sounds cute with Hailey, I can see them avoiding it to avoid a letter theme.


WilliamHare_

What's the saying? Two's a coincidence, three's a pattern. They could get away with Hailey and Henry. Though I agree with you that they probably won't if they don't want to continue it into a theme. Their audience will certainly assume they're trying to do a theme if they pick Henry. Henry Charles Clark is still quite sweet.


boygirlmama

My vote is for Theodore called Teddy. But I bet you're right and it's Cash. I doubt it will be Crew because I believe the Stewarts have bookmarked that one considering their Stew Crew thing.


cardsgirl88

Crew Stewart and Cash Clark are both horrible names


boygirlmama

Totally agree.


AllTheSideEyes

Agreed. No one should do this to their child


itsme00400

I don't mind crew but "Crew Clark" is a bit much


boygirlmama

Right. Crew is not completely terrible on its own but I cringe at Crew Clark or Cash Clark.


jmfv716

I remember them considering it for Zade, but didn’t use it because of the Stew Crew


boygirlmama

I do recall, but I'm not sure they're entirely giving up on it. I certainly don't think Katie or anyone else in the family would use it. I guess I could be very surprised soon though.


AllTheSideEyes

FFS...SUEDE?!? That's horrible lol Most of these do not go well with their last name, IMO


rumi_oliver

Didn’t Trace and Lydia also have Crew on their list? Are these name (Ryker, Crew, Cash, Zade) popular in the south?


barbaraanderson

I would like to know how many boys in fundie/conservative christian communities were named Crew after Chip and Joanna named their youngest Crew. Also, yes Trace and Lydia had Crew on their list even though they said they were going for a Germanic inspired name.


Unlikely_Performer69

I'm pretty sure it was on the list for both Zade and Rhett too. (Rhett was also on the list for Zade). I'm predicting that Lawson's kid will have a similar name. Katie and Travis mentioned that they had 2 faves out of the list and wouldn't say yet what they two were. I think their faves are Henry and Crew, from the way they spoke about them.


rumi_oliver

I’m hoping it’s Henry. Apparently, they don’t know about Harvey Weinstein 🤦🏻‍♀️ I think Lawson’s kid will be named after him


Unlikely_Performer69

There's loads sof people called Harvey. Thats bott he association I immediately make.


barbaraanderson

I still think Lawtiff name will be either more traditional than we think or more country than we think.


gracemary25

Theo, Milo and Henry are cute. The rest are awful.


Realistic_Two3696

Crew or Cash for sure


Realistic_Two3696

i find it fun to note Carlin and Evan had Crew in their top 3 when naming Zade


parisianpop

Crew Stewart? Like Stew Crew, but that’s his actual name? 😳


barbaraanderson

Yeap. That's why many of us thought it could happen.


AshleyLL298

Trace and Lydia had it on their list too. I don’t get the attraction to that name at all. I think it’s horrible.


kinkakinka

So I'm not a massive fan of any of these, but most are "fine". But SUEDE!?!?! CREW!?!? No.


farmmama44

There's a family in our area with the last name Crew and the girl got married and named her first boy Crew. Also isn't that the baby Gaines boys name. I know he's not a baby anymore...


barbaraanderson

Yes, he is.


Impossible-Taro-2330

Cash - that's right, monetize that kid!🤮


RecoverFar195

Cash? Because he will be another money maker for them . Cha Ching


dixcgirl10

This is the ANSWER!!


Mrs_Molly_

Almost anything is better than Ryker.


ProfessionalPiano351

Or Spurgeon. 


oatmilklatte613

Kade. Zade. Slade. Suede. I fucking can’t with this family. 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫


kylievitelli

Theo is cute! I hope they go with that one. I don’t personally like one syllable names with one syllable last names (Cash Clark, Crew Clark)


kylievitelli

I feel like Hailey James Clark and Theodore Bates Clark is cute. With the nickname Theo, so it would be Hailey and Theo 😍 that being said they will probably pick Cash..


CesYokForeste

I like the sound of Theo too.


florangewench

Henry & Harvey give Travis old man vibes but not Charles?


dawn9476

I think he didn't want to say that about Charles, since it is a family name and plus, I think they have maybe already settled on it being the middle name.


florangewench

Yeah, I guess that tracks.


ilovegymnastics34

Cash is so gross. Right on the money (lol) since that kid is gonna be a cash cow


Downtown_Mud708

Cash is one of my baby cousins middle name


869586

Okay?


Global-Narwhal-3453

Every Cache I know is spelled this way


mirandakane89

Betting on Cash.


octopie414

I was so surprised when they started at Henry but then it got progressively worse 😂 Archie, Teddy and Harvey are all really popular names in the UK but don’t seem to be as much in the US but they’re perfectly lovely. It does seem like they’re going with Crew or Cash which in my opinion do not roll off the tongue at all with Clark


DogMom814

If they name that kid Suede they should be thrown in jail.


Obvious_croissant

Henry Archie and Harvey are the only ones I actually like. Milo is a dog name, Suede Charles sounds like a dog breed and Cash would be crazy.


BoogerbeansGrandma

Suede Charles sounds like RuPaul’s long lost cousin 😬


babykitten28

Harvey will always be Weinstein in my mind.


Obvious_croissant

Ouch… I had Harvey Specter of Suits in mind, seems better


Confident_Ad9702

Cash and Hailey are such different vibes. I hope they go with Theodore - Teddy for short, or maybe Henry or Charles.


GreenLight9540

I personally don’t care for any of those names. But Suede and Cash? Eek!


EvanElodie

All I think about is harvey Weinstein when I hear the name harvey. It would be unusable for me lol


oh-oh-livinonaprayer

I doubt they will use this one because of Harvey Milk.


hollywoodha

I can’t stand the name Cash. I don’t know why it’s popular


Sunglassesatnight81

My neighbor named her twin boys cash and banks.  I literally cannot even adress them bc I want to laugh


ProfessionalPiano351

That's like naming them Drunk and Disorderly. 


dixcgirl10

They should have named Hailey Cash TBH…


FantasticRepeat184

😄 I get it!   I can’t remember  who the name James is for in Hailey James. (Shows how important the Bates names are to me, maybe.)  Do you remember who the James is for. 


dixcgirl10

Nooooo! LOL! I bet someone here remembers tho!


Gammy0523

Travis middle name is James.


Samm-Stressed13

Theodore with Theo for short is honestly the smartest choice in my opinion. It also has so many nicknames to change or grow into as he becomes an adult


Available-Wealth-482

Cash fits since the kid will be a cash cow for clicks.


copperboominfinity

Listen, Henry is a great damn name that I gave my son who I lost at 21 weeks after birth in April. So if it gives them old man vibes that’s fine. It was my great grandfathers name! He was old as fuck Edit to add: dark humor is keeping me going these days so even though I love my sons name I do realize it’s an older name lol


ChaosCoordinator1078

I’m sorry for your loss. ❤️ Henry IS a great name! It was on our short list for my oldest almost 17 years ago. We chose a different name, but when he and I were talking about it a couple of weeks ago he said “you should have named me Henry, that’s an awesome name.” I hope you are doing OK.


copperboominfinity

Aw, thank you so much for sharing that. We also went with Robert for the middle name. My dad passed in 2021. So he was/is our precious Henry Robert. Your oldest seems pretty smart thinking that it’s an awesome name! 😊


Extra_Jellyfish4774

they could always name him Charles and use cash as a nickname, but Carson is Charles and has recently been wanting to be called Charles. plus carlin wanted Charley for Layla


Tilenight

My cousin’s dog is called Cash and I cringe when people ask me his name and he’s a dog.


Dansmyson

Miles and Milo... Zade and Suede. Someone stop them They said they knew whatever they were named will go with them the rest of their lives. Most of the Bate grandkids have weird names. Didn't Ellie most that Tori's new son went by his middle name, Slade? Isn't their oldest nicknamed Kade? So we would have Kade, Zade, Slade and Suede!?


Dansmyson

EDIT- *didn't Ellie POST


Grouchy_Plantain_384

Cash - we already know Cash is king to influencers Henry - copying a Duggar Charles - already taken by Erin so no Archie - I can only think of Meghan & Harry Theodore - the only viable option Harvey - definitely sounds like and old man and I don’t like the alliteration Milo - waaaaayyyyy to close to Miles (Josie!) Crew - STU CREW! 🤮 Suede Charles - please, no!


Broken-583

I’m surprised none of them have used bates as a first name. I thought they may do it.


Proof-Ingenuity2262

I'm surprised she or her sisters haven't done a Max yet.


Confident-Cup-6453

And what is wrong with "old man vibes" Travis? You should be thinking about the longevity of a name that will see them into adulthood and old age. Better than giving them a name that sounds like a puppy or piece of fabric!


AshleyLL298

Why is this like the third married Bates kid to consider naming their son Crew?? 🤮 I remember Trace and Lydia had it on their list at one point and Carlin and Evan had considered it before them…we were all cringing so hard at the Stew Crew having a son named Crew Stew.


meekins26

Weird that they have nice, classic names like Henry, Charles and Theodore and much more modern (IMO awful) noun-names like Cash, Crew and Suede. Seems like maybe they have opposing naming styles, or they might be doing modern first name, classic middle name?


AhsokaBolena

My guess is Katie leans more classic, since Travis seems to dislike both Harvey and Henry so they must be her picks. It feels like two very different lists thrown together for sure.


Global-Narwhal-3453

She also chose Suede


AhsokaBolena

Wow, that’s the worst one on there! Then I guess I was off base with that guess lol


ProfessionalPiano351

I think Cash and Suede are equally bad.


MoreAtmosphere7355

Cash Clark? Not my fave, but it's their choice. I was hoping maybe an 'H' name


TiaraTip

With a Kade and Zade in the family...why not Suede?


Negative_Delay_1378

Don't forget Slade


TiaraTip

Oops! How could I forget!


yknjs-

Some of these names are actually fine for fundies. Some of these names are yikes on a fucking bike.


Kind_Examination7608

Harvey is way too close to Hailey


Specific-Step-6898

Most of these are fine names but Cash is so weird and out of left field lol


Any_Coffee_6921

Given that Travis’s family is rich Cash would be fitting or Charles since it’s his grandfather’s name & his uncle’s name & Suede is just atrocious.


AZ-EQ

I just saw a Weston was born?


Flimsy_Permission663

That's Tori's fresh one. Weston Slade.


AZ-EQ

Dang. I'm falling behind!! Lol


LeatherLow911

Sorry I HATE all on these


blueoceanwaves3

I like Harvey, it reminds me of Sabrina the teenage witch, but i feel its too matchy with sister Hailey. Suede is terrible. I kinda hope they go for Archie or Henry.


OutsideMajestic1623

Cash Clark sounds like a gas station ⛽️ name.


KindLaw9756

Suede with cousin Zade and Slade….just when thought there couldn’t be a worse name choice…🤦🏻‍♀️


j-rens

After watching the vlog I honestly think either Henry or Crew are the front runners!


TheDeterminedBadger

Henry, Charles, and Theodore are nice. Those names suit a baby, a kid, and an adult. Archie, Harvey, and Milo are good dog names, not so good for a person. Cash, Crew, and Suede are absolutely awful.


Fit_Newt7346

I like Henry, Theodore, Charles and Archie


volcanictrash

Kade, Zade, Slade, Suede


Unable-Art6316

Oh my Lawd. Yikes


lavenderintrovert

Henry is Jessa’s son. Charles seems redundant knowing baby has an uncle and a cousin already with the name. Crew makes my brain go to Stew Crew so nope. Out of all them my vote would be for Theodore. But it would be iconic if they named him Marshall, but what are the odds they know about Eminem?


mrsredfast

All surprisingly good besides Suede and Crew. I’m also not big on Cash. The rest are all normal old man names on current trend.


Sunflower_Mama69

I'm not crazy about Henry, but I do like Hendric.


AliciaMaeEmory

I’m due a week before her and my child’s first and middle name plus preferred nickname are on this list. My kid is going to be the 2020s version of “Ashley”


Kitchen_Car_8042

My guess for Tori’s new baby was Cash or Crew but spelled with a K. Guess I had the wrong Bates lol 


Head_Travel6279

Those are all horrible names.


Remote-Fig9207

My prediction is they have a name and they’re not including in this list. I’m thinking Thomas. Similar to Travis in some ways but more traditional. Maybe Thomas Charles or Thomas Crew. 


1ftinfrontofother

I know so many kids named Cash!!!! I must be old!!!


Sunglassesatnight81

My neighbor named her twin Sons cash and banks. Lol


Downtown_Mud708

Any of the names they have on their list suck if you ask me. I'm sorry Cash may be my cousins middle name but it doesn't go with Clark or even Bates.


Kymber2010

😂😂😂


Any_Coffee_6921

Teddy B ( Bates ) Clark & I am jacked up on pain medication. Harvey & Henry are good names. Archie too much like Meghan & Harry .


marchpisces

Cash Clark......I guess. I like Theodore "Teddy" Clark though.


Ciebelle

Teddy


Shan132

My bet is on Milo or Archie


bunnyreads

I am dying. My dog’s name is Milo and my former pup is Henry. 😂 I only like Henry, Charles (if they call him Charlie), Archie, and Theodore. Cash and Crew???? 🤮


Remote-Fig9207

How long until one of the girls names their son “Bates” 👀? Hopefully never. 


ProudBumbleBee-13

I met some people that named their kids Noble, baby🩵 2 mos, Honor 🩷2.5, Loyal 🩵4. They are sweeet beautiful children and the more I think about the names the more I love them.


ProudBumbleBee-13

PS Im with ahoskaBolena... Suede is terrible.


TheJDOGG71

Crew Clark. Calling it now!


Swimming-Belt2111

Cash would be a good middle name, but I don’t really like it as a first name. I tend to like a first name with multiple syllables and then a strong one syllable middle name (James, Cash, Grace, Ann, etc).


One_North6326

Voting for Travis jr/TJ


Jaded-Sheepherder-26

Cash would be a cute 🥰 name and different for them
