does the name have any negative connotations I should know about?

no, see what you mean, you wouldn't easily forget it.

bloody hell!!

not something that I want to think about when it comes to my beloved son (if it is a son)

I also like Zephaniah Blue. I know it sounds a bit OTT but there's a reason, I'm not just 'trying to be kooky'

Also Zephaniah Alexander

poor Benjamin Zephaniah. Was it him who turned down an honour in the new years honours because the 'british empire' bit needs updating as frankly it is insulting?
I think Zephaniah is a nice name but would go for Ben as a middle name rather than Benjamin (too long) and Blue (not keen) personally.

yes, he turned down an OBE - said that to accept would be condoning the ill treatment of his forefathers and foremothers

don't like ben..

Zeph is an awesome name!

hello Megs!!

It's still our firm favourite .... maybe Edward or Matthew as a middle name though, rather than benjamin

What about Benedict or Benoir instead, not that Edward isn't lovely BTW. I need you help BTW!
