Moses or Solomon

Hi

Unfortunately my husband and I just don't like any boys' names! We're so fussy (too posh, too unusual, too common) but need one any day now

We both quite like Moses and Solomon, despite being put off by how obviously biblical they are!

Which would you choose? Or do you have any other good suggestions?

Probable middle name of Daniel (after a particular Daniel we've known)

Thanks!

I'm swayed because I love the nn Mo but Sol is nice for when they're older ...

I find Luke, Matthew etc too boring...

Unfortunately don't like Daniel enough to be the first name! I feel like it's more a name for our generation than this next one??

Solomon/ Sol is lovely, I wanted to use is for ds3 but wasn't allowed

Solomon

Of the two, Solomon. I like both but they are very Old Testament. Nn Sol or Mo/Moss? All ok imo.

I don't like either, to be honest, but I'd go with Solomon because I do like Sol as a nickname.

I really like Daniel though.

Neither sorry

Too biblical especially with another biblical middle name. there are lots if names in the Bible that don't automatically scream 'bible ', luke, Matthew etc or gave Daniel as a first name and move Solomon or Moses to middle name?
