    A friend called her son Caleb.
    Herod would be a pretty bad choice. Imagine being called Habakkuk!

    One of our daughters in law has a sister, who just had a baby and they named him Boaz. I was hoping they would call him Bo, but NO, it's Boaz.

    They aren't JW's.

    We have a grandson named Gideon. He's a cutie, so I don't mind so much. They almost named him Shiloh!! I would have had to protest if they had decided on that one. They are churchy, not JW's.

    When we went to the convention in Saskatoon in 1988, we stayed with a family who had a 2 year old boy named Jedidiah (sp?). I don't know how anyone could name their child that.

    Shilo's not too bad unless it's Shiloh Pitt as in Brad Pitt's child. The Spoonerism is so obvious.

    PS - Speaking of Piloh Shi Shiloh Pitt - this is my 1914 post!

    Whats wrong with Micah ? In England we have a famous footballer called Micah Richards

    I never did see why dubs had such a preference for unusual Bible names , as if there wee not enough to make the kids feel different...There is a young girl in my wifes congo called Tamar.. In view of the scripture in Gen 38 where Tamar played the prostitute - I wonder why they chose it?

    BTW hypothetically, if it were twins I always wanted to suggest Muppim and Huppim (Gen 46)

    My cousins in PA are named Matthew, Mark, Luke and Jane.

    I have a cat named Samson (should be Methuzela) and his sister name was Delilah. My avatar is a pic of Samson. He's 17 years and 8 months old.
