How about a Klingon name, like Korah'takh? Now that is cool.

But, in terms of human names, I like Aholibamah for a girl (not sure why, but there's just something very feminine about that name).

For a boy, I'm less impressed by the Biblical names I think. In fact, I'm not sure I don't appreciate the Babylonian names Daniel & Co. received more than their originals. However, I do like Gaius. Has a strong, masculine ring to it.

Would I name my kids these names? Probably not. But, you asked for a Biblical name.

I think Jehoshaphat is a cool name, though I wouldn't do that to a kid! The last thing a kid needs to be called is Phat!
Moses, Amos, and Levi are names of some of my American ancestors.
Thomas, Matthew, and Samuel are names of some of my great-grandfathers. I also like Joshua and Caleb.

Are you the eldest sibling? My parents' first is nineteen years older than their last :D

Yup. I'm the oldest.

Seems to be a weird phenomenon in my family. My dad is 20ish years younger than his eldest sibling.
I'm 19 years older than my youngest sibling.
And my eldest is 15 years older than her youngest sibling. Though if we have another, my eldest will be closer to the ages that me and my dad are with our siblings.

I'll have to ask my brother if he knows the age spread among our dad's siblings. There were twelve (total)
of them! Evenly split too: six boys and six girls. My brother has done a lot of research into our family tree :D

Zipporah is a nice name. It can be spelled with a "t" Tzipporah.

Have you no mercy? School teachers will already have enough trouble with the original spelling, without adding a t.

That would be merciless to the poor girl. Do you have any idea what teenage guys would do with a nickname like that? :eek:

They wouldn't get any further than my axe or shotgun would let them.

Yeah but if you take an axe and shotgun to her high school, those nice guys in the cars with the flashing lights on top get all excited and nervous.

The axe and shotgun are only effective deterrents at your home, and you can't keep her there her whole life. The truant officers (or child services, or whatever equivalent we have these days that makes sure kids go to school) don't like that.

When they understand my PASSION for the second ammendment...most guys understand that sort of thing. I knew a really cute and outgoing young lady who had a really difficult getting dates because her dad was so pro 2nd ammendment.
Scared off all the wolves.

Is it wrong that I think Delilah is a beautiful name? It's probably good I have 2 boys instead. 😆

Middle name because I had to ask? Chester.

Not kidding.
