Sibling for Jared and Micah

55 replies

Famousfrays · 26/09/2021 21:57

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!

Other biblical names that could work are
Abilene
Hannah
Sarai
Tamar
Adina
Zia
Eden
Rhoda
Ahira
Tryphena

Dinah
Hannah
Zilla

from the Old Testament too?

Or from the New Testament:

Damaris
Dorcas
Rhoda

maybe?

Caleb and Shifrah

Phoebe is popular but if you don't mind that then it's a lovely name. The KJV translation spells it as Phebe but she'll be spelling it out all her life if you do that.

Other girls' name suggestions:

  • Eden
  • Hannah
  • Mary
  • Madeleine
  • Eliza
  • Martha
  • Tabitha

I like Eliza. But I don’t like that Micah and Eliza have the same ending. I know I’m so picky🤦🏻‍♀️

Elspeth then maybe?

Just spoke to DH. He likes Isaac and Phoebe.

Yes, if you want to go New Testament you open up a lot of Greek/Roman names as well some later Aramaic names:

Anna
Chloe
Claudia
Damaris
Joanna
Julia
Lydia
Martha
Phoebe
Susannah
Tabitha
Talitha

Jared and Micah are great names. Isaac and Phoebe are a good fit. Esther. Kerith.

BlowDryRat · 26/09/2021 23:11

Wine to Isaac/Phoebe! I hope they arrive on time with minimal fuss.

BiBabbles · 26/09/2021 23:19

I think Dawn is lovely - as are Isaac and Phoebe.

Eli and Nathan could also work well for another boy, there is also Reuel if you and/or your DH are also Tolkien fans Grin.

For a girl's Biblical name, my top pick would probably be Bethia/Bithiah, but as those end (and many others) in -ah, Bethany and Candace.

Thank you everyone. We have decided on Isaac it Phoebe❤️

I know someone with DC called Jared and Micah.
His other DC are Estella and... something. Forgot. I knew it just now.

DeirdreRashid · 27/09/2021 00:52

Noah or Lydia

Nancydrawn · 27/09/2021 03:21

Isaac and Phoebe are lovely names.

bridgeofslides · 27/09/2021 09:35

Isaac and Phoebe are names you can't go wrong with.

I'm stuck on how much I love the name Jared and realised I've not heard it outside Australia before.

Thank you!. We’ve never come across another Jared, I definitely think it should used more

I just want to let you all know that baby Phoebe Gaia was born early this morning. Thank you everyone for helping us find her name❤️

Love the name Phoebe, congrats.

CiaoForNiao · 29/09/2021 15:56

Congratulations. Phoebe is very near the top of my imaginary DD name list. It's beautiful Flowers

smallandimperfectlyformed · 29/09/2021 18:50

Congratulations! Phoebe is a lovely name and so is Gaia. I hope Jared and Micah are very impressed with their beautiful little sister!

Famousfrays · 29/09/2021 19:08

@smallandimperfectlyformed they’re obsessed with her

@BlowDryRat

Congratulations! Welcome to the world, little Phoebe Gaia.
Thank you! And thank you for suggesting the name, it wasn’t even on our radar and I can’t imagine her suiting any other name now🥰
