Mordecai - Never heard of this. Quite like it though
Jethro - My dog's name and everyone says harhar West Country Rude Comedian etc. I say no...Tull actually
Hershel - A nice strong name
Ishmael - Moby Dick! But a good strong name.
Lazarus - no, no just no! (cue endless jokes about rising from dead)
Ulysses - Not really got an opinion
Cedric - Like this alot - potential Harry Potter link evaporating with the years i think.
Desmond - Underused - maybe because Des is very 70s sounding
Clarence - Like this alot
Bernard - 70s thing again
Shem - Very nice
Gideon - Very nice
Jeremiah - Yes this is lovely
Gil - Not really got an opinion
Peter - but ds middle name (bit boring)
Dudley - Don't like
Forrest - Gump! Don't do it to him... Confused
Hiram - As in Hiram Holiday? Very nice and again underused
Ebenezer - is it too Scroogy? - Yes, yes it is
Ephraim - Like this one (but poss not if you have an Eli already)
John - Confused
Abraham - Abe is very cute for a babe
Moses - to popular these days for your taste i think

TBH its tricky because your names are not at all the kind I gravitate towards, very biblical (I think that is the word I'm looking for) sounding for the most part.

I dont really like any of them but Ebenezer is really really awful, as is Dudley. Jerimiah isnt too bad, could be Jem for NN??
