DUGGAR fans have been mocking John-David Duggar and wife Abbie Burnett’s sister-in-law’s “aggressive” name of her newborn baby son.
Sarah Brunett shared sweet snapshots of her beautiful boy, Nathaniel Wilberforce Burnett on Instagram.
John’s sister-in-law revealed that Nathaniel means “gift of God.”
Sarah also explained the meaning behind Wilberforce, which is referred to as a “bright fortress.”
The newborn baby is named “after William Wilberforce, who fought for right and truth and saw the abolition of slavery in his day (and in recognition of the overturning of Roe v Wade).”
In one of the photos, Nathaniel slept in his mother’s arms while posing with the rest of his family.

THE COMMENTS
Counting On fans jumped to an online thread and mocked the middle name, Wilberforce.
One critic said: “Thats’ for sure still weird! If the kid’s name was Jack or something super common, then maybe. But Wilberforce is a CHOICE.”
Another critic said: “This is the first time my brain has ever read this name as anything other than Wilberforth. Surprisingly, this is worse.”
A third critic noticed the rhyming of Wilberforce and mentioned: “Disappointed that it’s not space force.”
A fourth critic added: “Wilberforce equals Wilbermass times Wilberacceleration.”
A commentator chimed in: “If I had a nickel for every time I had a nephew with the name Wilberforce, I’d have two nickles! Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird it happened twice.”
