I like both [name_m]Jabez[/name_m] and [name_m]Tekoa[/name_m] for you, but I can see the pros and cons of either. I agree that [name_m]Jabez[/name_m] is similar to both J0b and B0az, and I would worry about mixing them up if you’re calling everyone. then again, with 7 kids, I wonder if mixups are inevitable, even without similar sounds. as for [name_m]Tekoa[/name_m], I really like it, but the origin feels more ambiguous. I would’ve assumed it was a Hawaiian name given the sounds, although maybe that wouldn’t be a misconception within your community. or maybe you wouldn’t care lol.
[name_f][/name_f]for a boy, my vote still goes to [name_m]Tekoa[/name_m]. I understand the desire to include all the names you love if this is the last baby, but I can’t get over how a child having an extra middle would’ve caused drama in my family with only 3 kids, so my vote will also always go to staying consistent on the middle name front. I like [name_m]Tekoa[/name_m] [name_m]Jabez[/name_m] or [name_m]Tekoa[/name_m] Kephas for that reason
[name_f][/name_f]I actually love the name [name_f]Salomé[/name_f], and don’t find it clunky at all. maybe because the first time I heard it was in [name_m]France[/name_m] and the way they say it is so flowy and soft. im not religious and I wouldn’t use it for other personal reasons, but I love seeing it used.
[name_f][/name_f]unfortunately, [name_f]Jael[/name_f] still sounds like “jail” to me, even when I say it jay-elle. it also feels harsh next to your other girl names. if [name_f]Salomé[/name_f] is not an option as a first name, I do like [name_f]Hadassah[/name_f]. id have to begrudgingly vote for [name_f]Hadassah[/name_f] [name_f]Love[/name_f] to stick with one middle and a love-related name, but [name_f]Salomé[/name_f] [name_f]Love[/name_f] would be my ultimate pick
