what do you think about Abraham?

[ZingSweetCoconut]

currently 5 months pg with #7.

if it's a girl we have a name combo sorted

if it's a boy we think Abraham would be nice and go with the names of our existing children who all have Biblical names.

so, yay or nay?

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

Number SEVEN?! Wow!

Love Abraham, and Bram is a wonderful nn, so a huge YAY from me.

[bakingtins]

I think yay if a strong biblical connection is a positive. Only ever come across one, his brother is Solomon.

I also like Joel, Isaac, Matthew, Jonathan...

[ZingSweetCoconut]

ah, thanks.

I like Abe (or when newborn Abey Baby )

[RabbitPies]

A definite nay. It's a very unattractive name.

[DramaAlpaca]

Not keen on Abraham, but Abe is very cool.

I know an Abe - he's just Abe, not Abraham.

[ZingSweetCoconut]

our other children are Joshua, Samuel, Michael, Noah, Isaac and Elizabeth

[RabbitPies]

Your other children's names are lovely,much nicer than Abraham.

[ZingSweetCoconut]

We'd register Abraham.

so hard to find a boy's name, they have lots of cousins with the same surname and so loads of names are out of question.

[ZingSweetCoconut]

our other idea so far is Zebedee.

[bakingtins]

Not Zebedee, too Magic Roundabout!

How about Reuben or Benjamin?

[RabbitPies]

Well Abraham is much nicer than Zebedee,but then anything would be.

Abraham doesn't see to work with the other names. It's a little too out there,though I realise they're all biblical names.

[lilystem]

Is he likely to ever join young farmers? I love the name but there's a drinking song called ' father Abraham' that he would definitely be subject to at every party in his teenage years in our circle of friends!

[barnet]

Abraham is lovely. Also Solomon.

[ZingSweetCoconut]

What's the drinking game?

we do know a children's Bible song "Father Abraham, had many sons....", which is fine.

[behindthetimes]

A lovely strong name.

[puppadompreach]

What about Adam? Zachariah?

[ZingSweetCoconut]

Don't like Adam

Isaac and Zachary/Zacharia are just too similar for me

[ZingSweetCoconut]

as in when pronounced, both have "Zac" sound

[puppadompreach]

Oh yes, didn't think of that!

[Dinosaursareextinct]

It sounds very Jewish. I appreciate that other names may sound Jewish too, but this one even more so? Of course that may be what you want.

[puppadompreach]

Abel??

[HomeIsWhereTheHeartIs]

What about Josiah? Or David? Abraham sounds like a very serious name to me. Couldn't imagine it for a baby. Elijah maybe?

[lilystem]

I can't actually remember it all but it involved standing on chairs in pubs singing
"father Abraham, seven sons he had,
Seven sons he had father Abraham,
They never laughed (everyone laughs)
They never cried (everyone cries)
All they did was go like this
With the right arm (drink)

Repeat with the left arm, right leg, left leg,

Finish with a hooar

Shirts off

Pants off

Ends in drunk nakedness.

Slightly more risqué than the Sunday school version!!

I do like the name though.

[anewdispensation]

What about Daniel?

[HeartsTrumpDiamonds]

I'm sorry I still can't get past NUMBER SEVEN.

I mean Zing honey I knew you had a large brood but how on earth do you manage to MN so much??

Vair impressed
