Hit me with them. I tend to sway towards them. Love the sound of them but can't choose one. Boys and girls. Thanks

Abraham is my favourite boys' name (nickname Bram), but DH vetoed it.

Bram? Pretty sure Abraham Lincoln was known as Abe.

MrsSkylerWhite · 24/02/2024 11:48

We know an Hepzibah. Is that biblical? Great name.

Completely forgot Hannah and Felix, I love those names.

On the jokey theme, my mum used to tell me that, if I'd been a boy, she'd have gone with the biblical classic Malashallahashbash. But I've never found it in the bible so she may have made that up!

And Methuselah’s an old stand-by too.

How could I have ignored Methuselah?
If you want to go NT, what about Eutychus?
