THE COMMENTS

Redditors ended up poking fun at the Baby Ballot Names when they saw the snapshot.

One Redditor said: "I remember this episode. I think they had each kid, even the little kids, pick a name. It was pretty lighthearted and I think they put all of them in."

Another Redditor wrote: "This makes me feel better that it wasn’t the parents who gave the names to choose from."

A third Redditor added: "At this point, I kinda wished they used it. Just incredible really."

A fourth person added: "Jichelle is bad. January is bad. I could EVEN give them Jimelle if it was Jamel and for a boy."

A commentator pointed out: "It always freaks me out when that list gets shared because my first name is on the first name list. I coulda been a Duggar!"

Jana captioned the post: "Lunch and shopping with Mom and some of the girls today!" along with a shopping bag emoji.

It is unclear if Michelle had gone shopping with Jana - who was trying on glasses in another snap - and her sisters or if she was only there for lunch.
