According to this article, Zebulon and Gatsby are up and coming names. Has anyone used any of the names mentioned?

Reuben was the oldest of the children of Israel,
With Simeon and Levi the next line,
Naphthali and Izzakah with Asher and Dan,
Zebulon and Gad too the total to nine,
Jacob, Jacob and sons
Benjamin and Judah
Which leaves only one:
Joseph, Jacob's favourite son...

Zebulon sounds like where mosquito-headed giraffes will invade from in 2746...

Zebulon sounds like you have to say it like a robot

CalamityJones · 15/07/2012 20:29

Sounds like a drug for something, constipation maybe.

Zebulon sounds like a demon's name.

Zebulon sounds like verrucca remedy.

No no! Zebulon was that awful old grandad in the Waltons.

Gatsby is I'm assuminng because the new Great Gatsby film is coming out? Brilliant story but not sure about it as a first name..

CakeBump · 15/07/2012 20:06

Both awful.

MammaTonic · 15/07/2012 15:44

Oooh, no, don't like Zebulon - sound like an element on he Periodic Table. Gatsby isn't as bad IMO, but it's still a name I don't like.

Also a beautiful song by Rufus Wainwright, I love it.

Haven't read the article, but Zebulon was one of Jacob's sons, I think. A classic Old testament name, if a slightly unusual one!
