Elijah? Levi? Caleb?

Friends have named their little boy Elijah. Other baby boys at church have recently been called Levi and Caleb (all Old Testament names).

Caleb, I can handle although I mistakenly called him Cable, but Elijah and Levi are a little bit beyond me.

I am waiting for Moses to appear!

Anything beginning with J is popular isn't it - Joseph (which is lovely), Joshua, Jacob, Jedidiah (Jed) etc

I don't like eiter of those names. But seeing as you'be heard of them in a church environement, I suppose it makes some sense at least.

BlueDragonfly - great names for triplets though - Shadrach, Meeshach, Abednigo!

I know a Moses, a Seth, a Noah, and an Ezra.

I have 3 OT names for my 3 children - but there's OT and there's ottOT. could get confusing.

When babies start being called Jehosophat and Jezebel, you know things are really getting bad!

nkf · 08/06/2008 21:56

LuckySalem · 08/06/2008 21:55

AbbeyA · 08/06/2008 21:53

I don't like them. I also dislike Noah.

BlueDragonfly · 08/06/2008 19:45

moses is better than abednigo

I think they're alright...no more out there than Abraham really.

I would raise an eyebrow at Ham though.
