Moses or Solomon

[aroha77]

Hi

Unfortunately my husband and I just don't like any boys' names! We're so fussy (too posh, too unusual, too common) but need one any day now

We both quite like Moses and Solomon, despite being put off by how obviously biblical they are!

Which would you choose? Or do you have any other good suggestions?

Probable middle name of Daniel (after a particular Daniel we've known)

Thanks!

I was going to say they sound quite African to me.

It's not odd The only men I know with those names are Black British Nigerians who are keen on very strong religious names. It suits them as it's a norm in the community. It sounds weird on your white British Christian because it's not usual.

I agree with @LaurieFairyCake , I don't think it'a an issue at all but I would assume the baby would be African with the name Solomon or Moses.

I completely misread this as Moses and Sauron

Solomon would be my preference - Moses just sounds a bit too 'big' of a name for a tiny baby IYSWIM. Also - Moses baskets

Sauron! It's got to be Sauron!

If your DD's nn is Ol / Ollie, then I'd avoid Solomon, given that the obvious shortenings for Solomon are Sol / Solly.

Moses

I'd like to change my vote to Sauron, please
