Names

Today’s post is short, sweet, and just for fun! Whether for our own children or for somebody else’s, we’ve all run across a particularly interesting name and thought, “That is freaking awesome!” while simultaneously envisioning the “Are you serious?” look we’d get from a spouse or parent of the child. One fantastic feature of the Bible is that it’s chock-full of such names (see 1 Chronicles 1-9 for a real treasure trove!). My favorite five boy and girl names are below. Whether from the Bible or another favorite book, what are some of yours?

Names for Boys:
1. Zerubbabel
2. Jobab
3. Uz
4. Buz
5. Nimrod

Names for Girls:
1. Dorcas
2. Jael
3. Athaliah
4. Nehushta
5. Jerah (this one I actually wanted for my own daughter, but we since have boys, she found her way into Healing Hereafter instead!)

Have a happy healing weekend! 🙂
