Biblical names

[LucyMouse]

I would like something Biblical, and ideally something that can't be shortened.
For a boy I love James but DH is firmly against it.
I would like to avoid anything beginning with A, R or C.
Does anything fit the bill??

Levi, Jonah, Jordan (?), David, Michael, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Joseph, Isaiah, Noah, Ishmael, Joshua, Isaac...lots.

The trouble with names is anything can be shortened really - I knew a Mark who was M or Emmy to many (he hated Emmy ).

Ezra
Jonah
Joel
Jude
Peter
Timothy
Silas
Daniel
Ezekiel
Jesse
Gideon

Paul

Eli

Eli

Xpost!

Thanks, yes it is tricky to find one that won't be shortened.
I do like Luke but our surname is also quite short so I'm not sure it works.
I do already have one DS ("A") and picking his name seemed so much easier!
I may have to give up on the Biblical idea so that I'm not so limited.

Really like Joel as well.
But I'm sure even I would start to use Joe as a nickname from an early age.

long names get shortend and short names get lengthened...!

Jacob
Joseph
Gabriel
Simon

Noah
Moses
John
Matthew
Mark
Luke
Gabriel
Aaron
David
Cain
Able

Seth

Seth
Noah
Toby
Jonas
Jonah
Boaz
John
Saul
David

Then you can do the shortened versions

Sam
Ben
Dan
Zeb
Tim

Ephraim

Ethan
Felix
Thomas
Barnabas
Zachary
Elias
Solomon
Josiah
Rufus
Nathaniel

Shame you don't want A as Asa rocks! And is hard to shorten.

Noah
Levi
Simeon/Simon
Isaac

I have a dear friend who has three grandsons, Jonah, Isaac and Elijah. I adore biblical names, they are timeless.
