Of the saints' names for his birthdate, I think Joseph goes best with his other names (and could be spelt the Polish way, if you chose).

ItsMargotBeaurEGGarde · 08/04/2009 21:17

former popes' names I love. Benedict, Louis, Gregory, Thaddeus, Leo, Dominic

Jewish/ Gideon, Saul, Reuben

Joshua has lost any religious feeling by becoming so popular.

Jonathan - beloved and lovely, one of the few biblical characters of whom nothing bad is recorded - apart from Jesus of course

You do realise the poor boy is going to curse you every time he has to fill out any kind of official form, don't you? Having saddled DS with too many long names myself (3 forenames) I am kicking myself for when he gets older... Just doing his passport forms was nightmare enough!

Peter: Renamed by Jesus, his original name was Simon (Mark 3:16); was a fisherman from the Bethsaida "of Galilee" (John 1:44, cf. John 12:21). Also known as Simon bar Jonah, Simon bar Jochanan (Aram.), Cephas (Aram.), and Simon Peter.
Andrew: The brother of Simon/Peter, a Bethsaida fisherman, and a former disciple of John the Baptist.
James, son of Zebedee: The brother of John.
John: The brother of James. Jesus named both of them Bo-aner'ges, which means "sons of thunder".(Mark 3:17)
Philip: From the Bethsaida of Galilee (John 1:44, John 12:21)
Bartholomew, son of Talemai: It has been suggested that he is the same person as Nathanael, who is mentioned in John 1:45-51.
Matthew: The tax collector. The similarity between Matthew 9:9-10, Mark 2:14-15 and Luke 5:27-29 may indicate that Matthew was also known as Levi.
Thomas: Also known as Judas Thomas Didymus - Aramaic T'oma' = twin, and Greek Didymous = twin.
James, son of Alphaeus: Generally identified with "James the Less", and also identified by Roman Catholics with "James the Just".[19]
Thaddeus: In some manuscripts of Matthew, the name "Lebbaeus" occurs in this place. Thaddeus is traditionally identified with Jude; see below.
Simon the Zealot: Some have identified him with Simeon of Jerusalem.[20]
Judas Iscariot: The disciple who later betrayed Jesus. (Mark 3:19) The name Iscariot may refer to the Judaean towns of Kerioth or to the sicarii (Jewish nationalist insurrectionists), or to Issachar. Also referred to as "Judas, the son of Simon" (John 6:71 and John 13:26). He was replaced by Matthias as an apostle shortly after Jesus' resurrection.
