Are there any particular bible characters you can relate to?

We weren't necessarily determined to use a biblical name for our son, but my husband really liked Samuel (and our surname begins with an M, so he wanted a middle name that started with an A to go with it). I was a bit blah about the name at first, until I read the passage in the bible that introduce Samuel and his name.

Samuel was the son of an infertile woman... after all our IVF treatment, I thought that was pretty appropriate! It means "asked for" which is also appropriate as we spent a long time in prayer asking God for him.

If you can find a name like that, which has special meaning for you, it makes the name choice so much easier.

BW

[Jas]

BW, That is gorgeous! Noah means restful and peaceful or rest and peace and we just felt that's who he was from the time I was pregnant with him. He is Noah James so 2 bible names for him. Was just really sure that was his name, was even thinking of the baby I was preg with as Noah James before we found out that sex.

He certainly lives up to the meaning of the name, just who he is!

[Nai]

I'm Naomi Catherine which I think sounds pretty good so feel free to use that. I think it means Pleasant and pure when used together.

[NaeNae]

or Naomi Louise - pleasant warrior

[Miss J]

I'm Naomi Catherine which I think sounds pretty good so feel free to use that. I think it means Pleasant and pure when used together.

Would love to but one of my nieces is Naomi

Rebecca/Rebekah is also out as I have a couple of good friends with that name and it's already too confusing!

I showed DH my lists and he really liked Shiloh for a girl, and I really like it too. Would you be put off by the Brad and Angelina connection?

I'm really liking Levi for a boy but we already have a Lee and a Liam in the family (my BIL's, one on either side of the family) and I'm not sure if it sounds too similar? I really like Ezra too but I've always wanted everyone to have different initials. Do you think I just need to get over it? DH thinks I'm being silly.

Levi is one of my very fav boys names. I dont think its too similar to the names you mentioned.

Ezra is really cool! I kinda understand about the initial thing though. Sorry not much help am I!

Shiloh is such a beautiful name - Brangelina wont always be in the news every 5mins so I say go for it!

I love the name Levi.
We have a lot of kids at school with biblical names- one family has Josiah, Noah, Isaac and Eve!! Another has Reuben, Barnabas and Jonah.
