I have a better idea: Read your Bible. Find names there.

I was always fond of Mephibosheth.

While picking biblical names, Judas, Korah, or Herrod may not be on the A-list.

“I have a better idea: Read your Bible. Find names there.”

When I was very young, I once asked my mom why they gave me and my sibling such boring names. She stated something to the effect “you’ll have enough to deal with in your life, you don’t your name adding to that”.

And yes, the FIRST PLACE we went for naming our kids was the Bible. The names are timeless and beautiful.

My boys, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego might beg to differ.

It was my husband, Nebuchadnezzar’s idea! ;)

“Read your Bible.”
That’s the problem. These people do not have a Bible.

Yeah, I was thinking of naming my kid 'Methuselah'.

I figure if you get a name from the Bible, or one that is common within royalty, it’ll be classy and classic. Bottom line: How will it look on the door of a CEO’s office?

I’m glad the fad of ending-in-i has pretty much faded. Kelli. Misti. Jodi. Sandi.
