Joy Forsyth Raise Eyebrows With Baby Boy’s Bizarre Nickname

Joy Forsyth treated her followers to a precious photo of her daughter Evelyn Mae holding her new baby brother. The photo featured Evelyn Mae with her arm resting under her new baby brother’s head. A curious wide-eyed Gunner James looked up at his sister’s face as she held him.

In quotes off to the side of Evelyn’s face, featured a caption that read: “I wub Gutta.”

Now, some fans can only assume Joy was quoting what her daughter was saying as she looked down at Gunner. Some fans, however, were concerned “Gutta” was going to stick as a nickname and fans weren’t sure how they felt about it.

Turning three in just a few months, it is understandable that Evelyn Mae Forsyth might struggle a bit with her brother’s name. Duggar fans, however, hope Joy and her husband Austin are not encouraging Evelyn to hold onto the baby talk and teaching her how to say her brother’s name properly.

Fans Rip His Actual Name Too

On Reddit, fans admit they don’t particularly care for the child’s real name either. Many Duggar fans trolled the name noting that it was a name commonly given to the dog. Other fans noted it was Joy and Austin’s love for firearms that drove them to the name “Gunner.”

One fan questioned: “How did we go from Probably ‘Edwin/Edward/Eddie/Ed’ definitely James to GUNNER? Edward/Edwin is not even in the ballpark of GUNNER.”

Another chimed in: “And that’s a damn fine dog name. Human not so much. Although with joys access/speech I would say even for a dog gunner is not the way to go. I can’t even imagine how badly she pronounces it.”
