For a girl: Mary or Miriam?

For a boy: Isaiah, Elijah, Elias, or Abraham?

I think Mary is a lovely name - definitely Mary

Of your list I would go with Elias

Sorry I really don't like Mary or Miriam but I wanted to post to say that I really like Elijah for a bit

Love Elijah but I'm worried by its recent popularity 🤔

Mary and Isiah.

I've taught a few of each and Miriams tend to be very quiet- wouldn't say boo to a goose. Elijahs tend to be quite high-profile behaviourally. I've been put off both names as a result. I like Marian.

Oh! I forgot Moses!

Mary and Elias. Not at all keen on Miriam - sounds like a bit wet blanket to me.

Miriam and Elias.

Miriam, nn Miri.

Abraham, nn Abe.

Miriam and Moses would be my choices. If popularity is a concern then other than Moses and Abraham all of the boy names you have suggested are shooting up. There’s a massive trend for Old Testament boys names right now, as people try to find an alternative to the popular Noah. This website is great for visualising that, if you are interested.

Mary and Elijah

I like both Mary and Miriam but the boy's names aren't ones I'm keen on -too long andd a bit whiny

RosieLemonade · 09/11/2021 12:07

Love Moses.

yikesanotherbooboo · 09/11/2021 12:15

I like Mary and to a lesser extent Miriam.
I don't really like the boys names but would choose Elijah from that selection
