What name combination do you like?

[Abeard]

We are expecting our second child early August this year. A few weeks ago we found out its a boy!

We came up with a few name combinations. Just wondering which one is the favorite on the PB


PS I just read that Gideon means "Destroyer" so we might not use that name

 

[GulfCoast Presbyterian]

Samuel Alexander got my vote.

It doesn't really matter what names we like, (personally I don't like any except David and Lucas) it's what you and your wife like and what you and your wife decide that counts. I know you are asking opinions out of interest, however the decision of the PB members should not influence you.

 

[Jimmy the Greek]

Sammy Luke.

 

[Cymro]

To my knowledge Gideon means warrior, our grandson was given that name.
John Elias was one of the greatest Welsh preachers, so I would go for Gideon Elias.

 

[arapahoepark]

Malachi Gabriel is beautiful sounding and rolls off the tongue nicely and softly.

 

[Abeard]

To my knowledge Gideon means warrior, our grandson was given that name.
John Elias was one of the greatest Welsh preachers, so I would go for Gideon Elias.

Its nice to know there are some other Gideon's out there

Does anyone know of any Malachi's besides the in the bible?

I have a nephew named Malachi.

 

[Southern Presbyterian]

I just can't believe that Mahershalalhasbaz is not one of the options.

 

[JimmyH]

I voted for Samuel Alexander. The first was my father's name, and the second that of a close relative. I think 'Jimmy' would be best ...... but it isn't an option in the poll ......

Speaking of names that just roll off the tongue... Ha ha!

I have heard of a few people called Malachy, a variation of Malachi. It is found n the RC community where parents, of even the priest at the "baptism" name their son after the Irish saint.

 

[David Pope]

Samuel Alexander. I'm a sucker for Scotch-Irish names.

 

[Andrew P.C.]

Would you consider Aurelius Augustinus?

 

[earl40]

Please tell me your wife doesn't want to name your child Malachi or Gideon. If so listen to her.

 

[Frosty]

I have a friend named Malachi.

As for my vote, I say either of the Gideon options or Samuel Alexander. But I definitely concur with Stuart in that I hope none of this sways you one way or the other.
