What are your top two favourite biblical boy names? 🧸

Shiloh & Enoch “Nucky”

I covered A-Z names I found in the Bible or apocrypha on a topic a while back and listed more at the link below if you’re interested.

I like [name_u]Azrael[/name_u] & [name_m]Azarel[/name_m] which look very similisr but are actually differnt names in the Bible, with [name_u]Azrael[/name_u] being the name of an angel of death and [name_m]Azarel[/name_m] being a diminutive of [name_u]Azariah[/name_u] (the name of several Old Testament minor characters).

my #2 biblical boy name is [name_m]Abner[/name_m]. and no, I’m not sure why they all start with the letter ‘A’ :joy:.

[name_m]Isaiah[/name_m] and [name_u]Daniel[/name_u], with [name_m]Josiah[/name_m], [name_u]Elias[/name_u] and [name_m]Ethan[/name_m] as close contenders after them :slight_smile: (My S/O said no Biblical boys names because his name is two very Biblical choices, so I’m a bit sad about [name_m]Isaiah[/name_m]! [name_u]Daniel[/name_u] got an ok because it’s common enough :sweat_smile:)

I love [name_m]Malachi[/name_m]! [name_u]Jonah[/name_u] is my personal favorite, but others I like that would work well with [name_m]Malachi[/name_m] in my opinion:
[name_u]Elias[/name_u]
[name_m]Solomon[/name_m]
[name_m]Isaiah[/name_m]
[name_u]Ezra[/name_u]
[name_u]Elijah[/name_u]

[name_f]My[/name_f] favorite pairs would be:
[name_u]Elias[/name_u] and [name_u]Jonah[/name_u]
[name_m]Malachi[/name_m] and [name_m]Isaiah[/name_m]

[name_m]Isaiah[/name_m] is lovely as is [name_m]Josiah[/name_m], [name_u]Elias[/name_u] & [name_m]Ethan[/name_m].
