Sibling for Jared and Micah

[Famousfrays]

Please help! DC3 is due any day now and we still haven’t decided on a name. Our 2 boys are Jared and Micah. We don’t know the sex of this baby so suggestions for both please. For a girl we like Dawn, but we aren’t sure if it works. Thank you!

I don't think Jared and Micah match especially so call new babe whatever yoga like. Jared and Micah are lovely names - names don't need to match.

Thank you, I’m just worried as both names are biblical (unintended) that if we don’t go for a biblical name this time it may seem weird

@FrozenoutofCostco

Is there a problem?

I have one of those (not saying which!)

I really like Old Testament names. How about, for a boy:

• Mahonri (going for the classic set!)
• Seth
• Caleb
• Ezra
• Levi
• Gideon
• Elijah
• Isaac

For a girl:

• Phebe
• Esther
• Leah
• Judith

Dawn isn't an especially Biblical name but there's all the imagery of a new dawn etc so it would match that theme (I know you said you didn't do it on purpose but just in case you wanted them to match thematically). Good luck with the upcoming arrival!

I love all the boys names. Especially Caleb and Isaac. I can’t find any Old Testament girls names that I like though!

Thank you!. That’s a good point actually I hadn’t thought about that.

Martha

Jacob

Tobias

I know a Dawn it works I think.

I would keep Dawn as a middle name and choose a first name in keeping with Jared and Micah.

Ruth
Naomi
Miriam
Eve

Enoch
Esau
Adam
David

Deborah
Rachel
Keziah

Old Testament girl's names:

Naomi
Miriam
Rebekah/Rebecca
Deborah
Hannah
Ruth
Sarah
Jemima
Leah
Abigail
Delilah
Rachel

Names that mean Dawn (loosely):
Amaryllis
Aurora (don't)
Dagny
Iola
Oriana
Zora

Personally I'm generally a fan of the OT names, myself. Love about half of them.

I love Enoch but reminds me of Enoch Powell so I wouldn’t do it. No girl names are standing out to me unfortunately.

All of the Old Testament girls names that I like are used by family members. I do like Ruth, but then I think of Roof and it puts me off

Keziah

@Footle

Keziah

I like it but I have a friend with the name so can’t use it.

Ethan

I know a Micah whose sister is Eliana - means God has answered in Hebrew and daughter of the sun in Greek - so a bit like Dawn but I think prettier as a first name

How about Cain, Gabriel, Abel or Ezekiel for a boy?

Ooo Eliana is lovely!

What about Jude for a bit or Juno if it's a girl 😊

Cain is not. First murderer in Biblical history, cursed to roam the earth as a vagabond for all of time?

Dinah
Adah
Keziah
Susanna

Are all Old Testament names

I like Abel for a boy. I also love Cain but have a family member with the name.

Reading back I do quite like Phoebe for a girl. Any opinions on that name?
