Here are the contenders.

  • Abraham
  • Elijah
  • Josiah
  • Michael
  • Moses
  • Nicodemus
  • Rufus
  • Seth
  • Zachariah
  • Eli
  • Micah

It has to be a bible name.

What do you think?

How about Isak? Or David? Or Daniel?

I love Rufus but DH says its a dogs name.

I can see how they would sound weird. We all have Jewish names.

I love Rufus and Nico (not Nicodemus) and Micah is pretty cool.

Why does it have to be a Bible name?

Love Elijah (my DS' name, we shorten to Eli)

Micah is good too, know an adult Micah he got teased as a kid but does like his name now and wishes he had been more adventurous with his kids names.

All great names. But Micah and Seth and Nicodemus are a wee bit off the wall.

I like Elijah or Rufus best. Strong names.
