I can not come up with the right name for my baby boy, due on Aug. 31. I'd like something unique but not too crazy. Maybe a biblical name. I kind of like Seth. Any ideas? HELP!

I really love Jonah. It's pretty unique ... I have never personally run into any yet (& I have 4 young boys) ... yet definitely not odd/crazy. It's also Biblical.

I like Seth a lot, and it's definitely not too popular. Some biblical names I like (although some are more popular than others)...

Noah (very popular now)
Jonah (seems to be gaining popularity)
Aaron
Isaac (love this one!)
Abraham (a classic, but not used too much)
Isaiah
Joseph
Luke
Thomas
Adam

And others that are even less popular, but I've heard on actual babies/toddlers...
Titus
Ezra
Ezekiel (nn Zeke)
Josiah
Abel

HTH! Good luck making a decision!

Oh, I dont like Seth. Just my opinion though. How about Micah? I have a friend who named one of her twins Micah and I really like it. I have always liked Noah and Luke. Good luck!

I love the name Layton but couldn't use it because it is the name of my brother in law. But, he is the only person with that name that I know of so I know it is unique.

These are the biblical names for boys I have so far and I've been sitting here mixing
and matching all day at work, lol..

Luke Benjamin
Jacob David
Aaron Daniel
Elijah Joseph
Caleb Joshua
Noah Michael
Gabriel Isaac

My younger brothers middle name is Seth and 4 gen. before him. I think its a great
middle name. How about Jacob Seth? Aaron Seth? Any combo will probably work be-
cause its one syll. like lee can be tacked on to anything.. : ) I'm having more fun
with girl names.

We have four boys:

Elijah Samuel
Micah David
Benjamin Mark
Jonathan Gabriel

If this next one is a boy, we are going to name him Reuben James!

One name that I LOVE but hubbie isn't keen on is Gideon.
