I’m not sure when the finalized version of PEI’s 2013 list will be released, but I’ll be on the lookout for it. (Update, 1/8/2015: The 2014 list for PEI just came out, and it included a link to the 2013 data…which is exactly the same as the above. So it looks like PEI doesn’t release finalized lists.)

The Duggar family of Arkansas

Former Arkansas state legislator Jim Bob Duggar and his wife Michelle have had nineteen children — 9 daughters and 10 sons. Here are their names, from oldest to youngest:

  1. Joshua, born in 1988
  2. Jana, 1990 (twin)
  3. John-David, 1990 (twin)
  4. Jill, 1991
  5. Jessa, 1992
  6. Jinger, 1993
  7. Joseph, 1995
  8. Josiah, 1996

  16. Johannah, 2005
  17. Jennifer, 2007
  18. Jordyn-Grace, 2008
  19. Josie, 2009

They certainly stuck with their chosen theme, didn’t they?

I’m a little sad they didn’t go with alphabetical names, though. This is one of the few modern families I know of that could potentially have ended up with 26 kids.
