Going bananas.

[Tillygetsit]

I have ages yet but am driving myself mad trying to think of a boy's name that is biblical, not too out there and has th s sound in the middle.
I know this sounds ridiculous but on a previous link, a poster spotted that our 3 dc all have a middle s which I'd never noticed before. They are also biblical ( not overtly religious just like those names)
I dont want this little chap to be left out!
We can't use Isaac or Josiah unfortunately and we already have a Joseph. If MN can't find it, it doesnt exist.

Isaiah
Jesse
Moses
Samson

Moses
Isaiah
Esau (I would NOT choose this, tbh.)

Damn. I was going to suggest Josiah then I saw you can't use it. But it's too similar to Joseph anyway, really.

My eldest two have the same two letters in their (very different) names, so that connects them. DC3 has a name that's the same length & style as DC1 so there's a connection there.

What I suppose I'm trying to say is that you might be able to find a theme in a different way if you can't find a biblical name with an 's' sound in the middle.

Issa
Solomon -probably my fave biblical name

Okay- I’ve found:

Asher (Hebrew for "happy" or "blessed." In the Bible, Asher is one of Jacob's sons)

Ishmael (Hebrew for “the Lord listens”)

Joshua (Hebrew for “the Lords salvation”)

Meshach (Can’t fins meaning of this one- sorry!)

Samson (Hebrew for “like the sun”)

None of these set my world on fire but all biblical with that S sound in the middle.

Sorry- posted too soon. Was going to add that it doesn’t have the S sound but I love Nathaniel as a biblical name. I have no sons but if I did I would use it in a flash. Beautiful name.

Asa
Caesar
Elisha(successor to Elijah)
Hosea
Jason
Joshua
Moses

Joshua

How about Christian?

Names with S sound in the middle:
Jesse
Absolom
Asriel/Ashriel
Festus
Lucius (S sound, but could be SH sound)
Justus
Hosea
Erastus
Issachar

S but not mid-name:
Seth
Silas
Phineas
Cornelius
Nicodemus
Shem
Amos
Simeon
Tobias
Zaccheus
Thaddeus
Thomas
Simon
Rufus
Lucas
Barnabas
Jonas
Jairus
James
Samuel

Caspar
Jasper
Isaac
Moses
Jason
Justus
Tarsus

With the S sound but not in the middle

Amos
Cyrus
Felix
Marcus
Rufus

No s sound but Micah (my-cah)

Asher is my favourite.

Asher is a lovey name.

Also: Jesse, Lucas, Tomas, Elias

TBH, I don’t think you need to keep the S theme - you’re just making work for yourself.

Can you get away with Ezra?

Thank you all so much. We have a very popular surname 2 syllables starting with J so the more exotic names sound a bit silly. We keep drifting back to Asher. Nice meaning, fits criteria DH really keen. I just keep getting an earworm but I guess that would pass! Its definitely the frontrunner atm.
Thanks again.

Is 'Ezra' too out there?

Whoops, missed that 'Ezra' had already been suggested

Thanks for the help. I am so so happy. DH suggested Jasper tonight and it's mentioned as a gem stone in the bible. Middle s and a name I really love. He will be Jasper Francis. Phew. Sorted

Nomrsmop you called it!

Excellent choice @Tillygetsit love the name Jasper Francis ❤️❤️ Perfect!

Well done @MrsNoMopp too!

Jasper Francis - how perfect! Great suggestion from MrsNoMopp & it's so nice with the middle name & fits all your criteria

Jasper's a really lovely name.

Very good choice. Or Casper - one of the three kings.

Lovely choice.

Thank you it just feels so right! I love Casper but I have a Cassia so Jasper is better.
