Help me chose a boys name

[Beeper]

Here are the contenders.

• Abraham
• Elijah
• Josiah
• Michael
• Moses
• Nicodemus
• Rufus
• Seth
• Zachariah
• Eli
• Micah

It has to be a bible name.

What do you think?

I like Jacob.

Your mum and dad sound fairly typical!

Scaryteacher - I like your son's name and am surprised it's not more common. I'd only heard it in an American context.

Abraham, Elijah or Zachariah.

Rufus
Seth
Eli (short for Elias)

I like Rufus and Seth. What about Saul? That is unusual but not too "wtf?" at the same time.

• Abraham - OK if you're Jewish
• Elijah - too trendy
• Josiah - ditto
• Michael - Quite like this, nice and simple
• Moses - No, child will be laughed at
• Nicodemus - ditto
• Rufus - Dog's name
• Seth - Bit californian
• Zachariah - Zachary ok, this a bit too weird
• Eli - hmmm...ok
• Micah - No

I love Elijah myself, sadly DH didn't

Rufus, Elijah, Seth, Elias.

What about Gabriel?

Elijah
Seth
Zachariah
Micah
Michael

These are my faves, I like Micah and Zac (for short) best.
