need help finding Biblical name

I am expecting a boy (# 3) in July and would like to name him a Biblical name with a nice meaning (such a God's blessing/miracle) as he was conceived with much prayer and help. I like one-syllable names, but would consider others. Cain is nice, but he was the evil brother, so do you think people will have that perception as he grows?
I also like Malachi, but that was the name of the evil child who murdered in the Stephen King "Children of the Corn" movie. Am I being silly?
Please send suggestions. Thanks so much. God bless.

LOL. Glad I could convince you. All those years of Sunday School and Vacation Bible School are finally paying off.

Hi there,

I have a son named Isaac Peter. Needless to say, I'm a bit biased about liking the name. I am also due with baby boy number 2 and we are thinking of the names Adam or Jonah. Unfortunately all of these names are 2 syllables and I know you were looking for 1 syllable names. We have a very short last name so we tried to stay away from short first names. Hope this helps! Good luck.

Take a look here and you will find a little about the person behind the name.

thanks so much for going through all the trouble of typing the story of Hannah. It is a great story. I read the Bible daily- I consider myself pretty spiritual.
Samuel is a great name that I hadn't given much thought to before all your postings, but I will definitely consider it.
What did you think of Cain or Malachi?
Thanks so much!

I have a son named Luke, so you have good taste. I love the other choices you gave, so thank so much. I'll keep you posted.

I appreciate your honesty. Just out of curiosity, how did the guy Cain you knew feel about his name?
What do you think of Malachi?
I love Matthias- it is in my top 3- I just don't care for Matt and hope people wouldn't call him that.
Thanks again for replying.
