Why do Josh Duggar’s children’s names start with the letter M?

Josh Duggar is popular because of his parents, Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar, who starred in the TLC show Counting On. All the children in the Duggar family have names starting with the letter J, but Josh Duggar and wife Anna decided to go the other way.

Josh Duggar’s next trial date is November 30

Josh Duggar was accused of “one count of receipt of child pornography and one count of possession of child pornography.” Although he was taken into custody, he later pleaded not guilty to the charges.

Josh Duggar’s trial is dated November 30. If convicted, the father of seven will be sent to prison for 20 years.

Due to the child pornography case, TLC canceled the spin-off series of the long-running Duggar family show Counting On. However, Josh Duggar and Anna had quit the show in 2015 when multiple girls accused him of molestation.

Josh Duggar issued a statement on Facebook at the time about the accusations. He said:

“Twelve years ago, as a young teenager, I acted inexcusably for which I am extremely sorry and deeply regret. I hurt others, including my family and close friends. We spoke with the authorities where I confessed my wrongdoing, and my parents arranged for me and those affected by my actions to receive counseling. I understood that if I continued down this wrong road that I would end up ruining my life.”

Meanwhile, Josh Duggar is staying with some family friends and is allowed to meet his children, but only in Anna’s presence.
