Looking for inspiration for boy names! Honestly I’ve been sooooo focused on girl names as I always thought I’d have two girls that’s it.
However recently saw a medium (I know you need to be skeptical but my dad is a traveller his mum believed in witchy stuff like tarot cards, mediums etc and he arranged it) a lot of stuff was scarily accurate. Anyways she said that me & OH would have three children in total with one being a boy but she couldn’t see what the gender was for the other child. So as the complete name nerd I am I have been obsessing over names for boys! We have Malachi but I would love other ideas. The name needs to be biblical as all the boys names in my OH family are biblical so I’m looking to you wonderful people for inspiration
With the want for naming inspiration I’m asking you lovely berries what are you top two biblical boy names? Inspire me!
first of all, i love biblical boy names, and i know you have some lovely choices you like already. i’m rooting for you to have a little malachi someday, because i always think of you when i see or hear malachi, and it’s just a lovely choice
anyway… my two favorites atm are solomon and boaz, especially with the nicknames “ollie” and “bo”!
[name_f]My[/name_f] top biblical names are [name_m]Nahum[/name_m] (comforter) & [name_m]Habakkuk[/name_m] (ardent embrace) (OT) and [name_m]Lazarus[/name_m] (my God has helped) & [name_m]Ozias[/name_m] (God is my power) (NT)
I love [name_u]Jonah[/name_u] and [name_m]Isaac[/name_m]! I also love [name_m]Zachary[/name_m] and [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m] but those feel more mainstream and less biblical to me; perhaps because [name_m]Zack[/name_m] and [name_m]Nate[/name_m] were relatively popular amongst my peers when I was growing up
[name_f]My[/name_f] top two are [name_u]Daniel[/name_u] and [name_u]Gabriel[/name_u]. But I love [name_m]Malachi[/name_m], too! Oh, and Nathanael/Nathaniel!
There are so many great biblical boy names, it’s hard to pick only two. Today, my favorites would be [name_m]Mathias[/name_m] and [name_u]Gabriel[/name_u]. I could definitely see you with a little [name_m]Malachi[/name_m]
[name_f]My[/name_f] favorites are [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] and [name_m]Samuel[/name_m], but those don’t feel distinctly biblical to me because they’re such mainstream classics. [name_f]My[/name_f] favorite more obviously biblical picks are [name_u]Ezra[/name_u], [name_m]Gideon[/name_m] and [name_u]Jonah[/name_u].
I love [name_m]Nehemiah[/name_m] and the cute nn [name_u]Neo[/name_u]! Choosing a second is really hard. Maybe [name_m]Nicodemus[/name_m]?
[name_u]Or[/name_u] [name_u]Ezra[/name_u]. [name_u]Or[/name_u] [name_m]Abraham[/name_m]. [name_u]Or[/name_u] [name_m]Isaiah[/name_m]. [name_u]Or[/name_u] [name_m]Judas[/name_m] ( the traitor wasn’t the only one in the bible, so I insist it’s usable!!)
[name_f]My[/name_f] 3 boys are [name_m]Job[/name_m], [name_m]Boaz[/name_m] & [name_u]Shiloh[/name_u] (Apollos & [name_u]Moses[/name_u] are MN). Of course we love these!
[name_u]Joby[/name_u], [name_u]Bo[/name_u], & Shi are fun nicknames.
I also have always also loved [name_u]Judah[/name_u], [name_u]Elias[/name_u], [name_u]Ezra[/name_u], [name_m]Phineas[/name_m], Peter/Cephas, [name_m]Josiah[/name_m], Ezekial, [name_m]Jabez[/name_m], [name_m]Gideon[/name_m], and even the well known [name_u]David[/name_u]. Lately been liking [name_u]Aquila[/name_u] & even [name_m]Jachin[/name_m]. I love [name_m]Ebenezer[/name_m] but can’t get my family into it.
Can’t say I’m well-versed in Biblical names and their connotations but [name_m]Isaias[/name_m] and [name_u]Jericho[/name_u] always catch my eye! They sound effortlessly cool to me.
