My husband and I cannot agree on names! The only ones we both like are [name]Ian[/name], [name]Joel[/name], and [name]Zeke[/name] (but he doesn’t like [name]Ezekiel[/name] because the only kid he ever got in a fight with was named that… dumb). So, what do you think of these names? I really want an uncommon name (which [name]Ian[/name] and [name]Joel[/name] are not, really) and I would like a biblical name. Any suggestions?
Thanks!
Congrats! My first child is also going to be a boy 
[name]May[/name] I suggest the name [name]Ezra[/name]?

Good luck!
I like the name [name]Zeke[/name] i think it is fine as a full name. Some suggestions [name]Aaron[/name], [name]Luke[/name], [name]Daniel[/name], [name]Matthew[/name] and [name]Mark[/name]
[name]Hi[/name] [name]Amber[/name]! My husband and I have quite different tastes too, so I appreciate what you are going through as we try to name our first (also a boy) too! But I totally understand you can’t name a child something that has strong negative associations for either of you.
I ave seen you have loads of suggestions, so just a few to throw into the mix - not sure all are biblical but may be saints etc as well:
[name]Benedict[/name] ([name]Ben[/name])
[name]Dominic[/name] ([name]Dom[/name])
[name]Eli[/name]
[name]Sebastian[/name]
Good luck!
