C-Sect on Monday 9/12, Need Help on Name

I am scheduled for a c-section on Monday 9/12 and my husband and I still don't have a definite name for our third son. We already have two boys named Jericho & Canaan and would like a name that goes well with it. We've been leaning toward Jonas but have had several people mention the name Micah to us and we both like it as well. Which name do you think is better and do you have any other suggestions? We don't like common names as our last name is common. Thanks for your help!

While I like both Jonas & Micah, I don't think either quite goes with your other boys.

Jericho & Canaan are both place names in the bible and seem a bit more unusual than Jonas or Micah but if I had to choose one of those, I'd go with Micah (I just like it better).

I still think another place name would work better, so I went looking for some other place names from the bible that might pique your interest (these are all biblically named towns in the states):

Gideon
Ephraim (one of my favorites! not very common at all.)
Gilead
Tabor
Zion
Jonah (instead of Jonas, perhaps?)
Reuben (another favorite of mine)
Galen

None of those are very common at all and I think they'd fit better with his older brothers and are names from the bible that are used as place names here in the states.

Micah is much more common that Jonas, if that is a concern for you. I prefer Jonah to Jonas, but again it is a little more popular. Have you considered Ezra, Abrahm, Ezekiel?

I love the name Micah! I think that would work very well with the others
