Abraham or Solomon

[tummytickler]

Which do you prefer?
These are dh's top names for a boy at the moment, I like them both, one better than the other. He hates my favourites, so at the moment these are our only options.

Other ds have OT names (AMos and Eli), dd's do not have OT names.

i really like Abraham actually.
like solomon, but not as much, tho i do know a couple of little solomons

I prefer Solomon to Abraham, but both have cute nn's Sol and Abe.

I like Solomon, it was on our boys list.

Love Solomon, really don't like Abraham, plus its too similar to Amos.

I love Solomon.I hate Abraham.

I have a Sol, but call him Solly or Solomon. It's a lovely name.
I had a gerbil called Abraham though.

i like both. very strong names

I like both, and there's one of each at DC's school.

I love both. Both have been on my shortlists for each of our children.

we have an abraham in our family and he has always hated it. at school they used to call him hammy!

i know a solomon and he loves his name (as do i) and gets called solly

I have a Solomon so am biased. Good nicknames plus nice full name I think. always had good reactions to it as well, and haven't met another one yet.

Solomon. There was a Solomon in my high school and he had the most beautiful blue eyes I've ever seen.

I really like both, but prefer Abraham. Lovely, solid name.

Abraham also works better in other languages.

Both are nice, but I think Abraham has the edge. Does one go better with your surname?

Solomon!

Moses, Reuben, Malachy, are all nice, but unusual biblical names.

I like Abraham and Moses.

Solomon is a fantastic name. Was on my shortlist but I had a girl! Amos and Eli are also great, btw. What a lovely set of names.

Mitchymum - I love Moses, but cannot use it as it is too similar to Amos.
Cannot use Reuben - maternal grandfathers name - he died in WW2 - grandmothers 'new' (of over 50 years!) husband would be pretty upset!
Not keen on Malachy.
Thanks though!

Solomon.

Or Daniel - that's a great name. Also Jonah.

Jonah is lovely, as is Josiah. And not forgetting Jacob.

dh has a 'Jo' name, so they are out (too confusing!)
Jacob is just too popular, and i have an irrational dislike for Daniel (I am being awkward now ).
Shame, as I love Josiah, but far to similar to dh's name.

Phineas? (there is a nice one as well as the better known nasty one)

Just been reminded of Mordecahi, which is great too.

Are you definitely keen on a biblical name?

How about Adam, Caleb, Gideon, Saul or Seth?
