[Salvation]

I like Jeremiah and Micah too.

[Salvation]

Or Tobit or Tobias?

Data from the site also shows that names ending in –den, such as Brayden or Jayden, are fading in popularity, as are names featuring the letter “x,” such as Axl or Xander.

Thank the Good Lord!

I would tell my lovely daughter if she ever married a guy named Ford, Dodge, Benz, Bentley or Ferrari, please DON’T name her daughter Lisa. She will grow up to hate her for it ;)

LOL!

[SuziQ]

Ours are Paul, David, Clare and Joseph. We wanted strong saints’ names, as well.

[Mears]

“Kathryn and William.”

Those are two of my kids’ names.

[Mears]

Nice names.

I went to school with a Dorcas and a Sydney———both girls.

My last 3 grandchildren, born in the last 6 months, are Jaxon, Aria, and Adelynn. It will be hard to find pencils at the Family Dollar with their names already printed on them for stocking stuffers for Christmas.

Heck, I can't even find anything with the name "Clare"! I can sometimes find a "Claire", but nothing without the "i".

[ColdSteelTalon]

Yes I agree.

[jch10]

I don’t think I did either. My favorite odd name was Livyur.....pronounced Olivia.

[Lee N. Field]

Dan, Hannah, Sam, David & Mary. (ours, deliberately biblical, deliberately ordinary)

My Hannah Elizabeth was born in 2000 ... Hannah was one of the most popular names that year. Grace Anne was born in 2002 ... again, Grace ended up being one of the more popular names.

Biblical names are already on the comeback.

I’ve never heard of a Bassett Hound named PowderMonkey. :-)

[al_c]

Almost as bad as Cné.

Try pronouncing that one.

[Heart-Rest]

[Zionist Conspirator]

Of the five names listed above, only Abigail is non-biblical, I believe.

You're wrong. Abigail is Biblical (Hebrew).

[Biggirl]

My paternal grandmother’s name was Nellie. Maternal, Alice.

[Biggirl]

My late longtime boyfriend’s first name was a David and I miss bigtime to this day.

[Not gonna take it anymore]

i have a nephew named Mark, his wife is Esther.

His children are: Elijah, Isaiah, Ruth, and twins Caleb and Joshua.

All Biblical and his is the only New Testament name. ;)
