What are your favourite Biblical baby names?

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

I love Eli as well! DH doesn't

Ponyboycurtis · 19/04/2017 22:21

My nephews both have biblical names and their mum is an atheist. This will put me but they're called Eli and Isaac.

TierAufTier · 19/04/2017 21:18

I have an Isaac :) the meaning really suits him as he is always giggling and people are always commenting on his laugh.

Expecting another at the moment, I love Ezra and Seth in particular but love lots of different biblical names for boys especially (although I do like Ruth)

Here's a question, my mum was surprised when we chose a biblical name for Isaac... is it a bit odd to have two biblical names (out of 3 children) if you are an atheist family? Or does it not matter because they are still popular names? I may be overthinking!
