Hit me with them. I tend to sway towards them. Love the sound of them but can't choose one. Boys and girls. Thanks

All top names.

And Methuselah’s an old stand-by too.

How could I have ignored Methuselah?
If you want to go NT, what about Eutychus?

Completely forgot Hannah and Felix, I love those names.

On the jokey theme, my mum used to tell me that, if I'd been a boy, she'd have gone with the biblical classic Malashallahashbash. But I've never found it in the bible so she may have made that up!

Sorry for being a pedant. Can’t help it. Teacher for over 40 years. 😁

Collins.

Oh sorry, I was reading the front, not the inside.

Abraham is my favourite boys' name (nickname Bram), but DH vetoed it.

MrsSkylerWhite · 24/02/2024 11:48

We know an Hepzibah. Is that biblical? Great name.

Bram? Pretty sure Abraham Lincoln was known as Abe.

Felix may be a person in the Bible but he was a rather nasty Roman!

There's more than one nick name! Bram Stoker was Abraham.

My son is Abraham, known day to day as Bram, its a fab day to day name, but he has a few options when he grows up.

He decided he wanted Abraham on his dance exam certificates.
