We've so far got it narrowed down to either Keziah or Ada for a girl but we're struggling more for boys.

Our shortlist for a boys is:

  • Micah
  • Enoch
  • Eliah
  • Eden
  • Abdi
  • Isaiah

I like Micah

DannyDogg · 26/08/2018 17:01

Not Enoch as in Powell Micah is fab tho

DannyDogg · 26/08/2018 17:01

Isn’t Eden a girls name?

Peachbubble · 26/08/2018 17:22

I like Keziah and Micah from your list

deptfordgirl · 26/08/2018 17:24

Love Eden for a boy.

7YearsOfBlood · 26/08/2018 17:25

Micah is nice. Love Isaiah, one of my favourite prophets as he was full of melodramatic doom Grin

PippilottaLongstocking · 26/08/2018 17:30

Micah and Isaiah are my favourites

Tawdrylocalbrouhaha · 26/08/2018 17:32

Seth
Reuben

JoanFrenulum · 26/08/2018 17:32

All the Edens I know are girls. What about Joshua?

MrsMolehillMountain · 26/08/2018 17:46

Isiah is nice! And Keziah

PizzanCat · 26/08/2018 19:10

Eden, Micah and Abdi are my favourites for a boy but I'm quite a fan of melodramatic doom myself so 7years has definitely warmed me to Isaiah Grin

Ada is my fav for a girl but I'm worried it's a bit too similar to Dinah

Definitely Micah. I think Keziah is much nicer than Ada. Ada blends into the horde of Eva/Ava etc names, and your other children's names are great. Just unusual enough but not weird at all.

Abel and Abdi are too alike imo.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 26/08/2018 19:37

Micah or Keziah.

girlalmighty · 26/08/2018 19:43

Eden is a boys name to me. I love it. Was on my list.

CheeseTheDay · 26/08/2018 20:00

Oh I love, love Abdi. Love it.

Of the girl names, I love both equally. In regards to Ada though, as all the other names are Biblical, then Adah would be the correct spelling would it not? Ada has totally different origins to Adah.

CaMePlaitPas · 26/08/2018 20:05

Abdi is lovely! I've never heard of that name before but I think it's unique-ness makes it even more beautiful. Love it.

Xiaoxiong · 26/08/2018 20:12

I like Abdi but agree it's too similar to Abel. Out of the others Micah is my favourite but similar to Dinah.

Others that pop into my head:
Asher
Ever
Dov
Nathan
Phineas
Saul

Picknickers · 26/08/2018 22:39

Daft question...Do you pronounce Keziah KEZ e ah or KeZeye a?

Galvantula · 26/08/2018 22:40

I love Micah. :)

JustlikeDevon · 26/08/2018 22:51

Keziah and micah. Taught many abdis but they have all been Somali!

Sophronia · 26/08/2018 23:35

Keziah and Enoch

Sessy19 · 27/08/2018 04:46

I know a Keziah....she’s an absolute MONSTER. The name makes shivers run down my spine.

For boys, I love Micah-I know a Micah who is a total darling.

I’ve always found the Elijah/Isaiah/Enoch fad with names a bit much...I liken it in my head to calling a child God....but that’s a very singular opinion!! And the voice of my Jesuit grandfather bleating on my ear!! 😂😂😂

TallSlutNoPantiesthe2nd · 27/08/2018 11:31

Any of them - apart from Enoch!

charitypringle · 27/08/2018 13:15

Love Micah, Isaiah is a close second.

charitypringle · 27/08/2018 13:17

And I love Ada so much. Keziah not so much. I like the Kez-ee-uh pronounciation but I know more people who use the Keh-Zye-Uh instead.
