Issachar

[seasidestarfish]

Opinions please!

how about Joseph or Benjamin?
(still humming Jason Donovan singing Jacob and sons).

I really like it. It’s sometimes used by Rastafarians (12 Tribes of Israel). That’s the only time I’ve ever heard it.

Bible describes Issachar as a donkey. Might be why it's not ever been v popular

I can't get away from it sounding like Is a car?
If you like slightly obscure biblical names, I'd go for Zebulon (pronounced zevulun in hebrew) also one of Jacob's sons.
Think Zeb as a nn is cute. Reminds of the grandpa in the waltons think he was called Zeb....

I like it. I don't think the 'is a car' issue is any worse than 'is a bell' and that's very popular!

Very similar to Eschar.
Slough, piece of dead tissue, linked with necrosis, gangrene and fungal infections. So no.

Atrocious and that's me being kind.

Surely there are other equally obscure Biblical names that you could take a liking to? What about Omri ? (In Kings).
Meshak?
Benomi
