how about Ezekiel, and maybe “Zeke” for short.. i think it’s a strong, masculine, uncommon name:)

We have to pick two names out and we are in the same boat have a girl name but struggling on a boys name. We have lots of aviation boys name but for some reason Ace wants a certain Bible name. I am not too pleased because most homeschool families name their boys with Bible names and their girls with fun names. I really don’t want to be typical. I just said to Ace if your going to pick out a Bible name make it unique because when we get to Heaven and the name Matthew is called how many people are going to turn their heads?

So whats our suggestion? Do you want a Bible Name?

We would really like a unique name… Canaan is so rare… we would like to match this one with a rare name, too. Bible names are great, so are location names, since Canaan’s is the Promised Land! Really any suggestions are welcome! =)

“Arah” is a pretty unique yet simple name mentioned a couple of places in the Bible.

Hi! You don’t know me, but I sometimes read your blog through Jen Heemskerk’s blog! Congratulations on expecting your second little boy! What a blessing! As a mother of two boys, 22 months apart, I can tell you that your days will be full and exciting! Having two boys is crazy, but so much fun!

On to the names…I absolutely love the name Canaan. We have two boys with unique names, as well - Judah and Asher. Judah means “praise” and Asher means “blessed/happy.” I think that both of those would go well with Canaan =). I also really like the names Zion (”a sign/raised up/highest point “) and Joash (”whom Jehovah bestowed.”)

I can’t wait to learn what you name the baby. I hope you don’t mind that I stalk your blog!

I know what you mean about unique names. I wanted to name Jillian Havilah so bad but Mike just couldn’t get into it. I have to laugh at the commenter that said homeschool families give their boys bible names and their girls fun names. We totally did that but not intentionally! LOL.

Tobias (Toby for short)
Gideon
Simeon

Ittai… don’t really lik it but I like heart of this man….

2 Samuel 15:21
But Ittai replied to the king, “As surely as the LORD lives, and as my lord the king lives, wherever my lord the king may be, whether it means life or death, there will your servant be.”

That is the heart of a true servant.

Maybe David Ittai Copeland. I won’t be holding breath.

I love the name Ephraim! I would have named one of my boys that but Jed doesnt like it at all. I also like the name Lathan but again Jed is not a fan. We’re still hunting for a name we can both agree on, Jed likes common, traditional names while I like unique names so it makes it difficult. It may come down to the wire for us. :) I hope you find one you like soon!

Hi, I’ll come out of lurkerdom for this one too. :) We’re currently students at NTMC.

The first name that popped into my head was Levi. I also thought of Zion (saw that someone else did too) and Petra.

Ok, I found the right place to leave a baby name! =) Titus is a name I really liked when pregnant with Jesse, and I would call him Ti for short. But (like Lisa wanting Jillian) my husband couldn’t be convinced. I still like it. Titus was the recipient of the book of Titus, and Paul’s representative to the church of Corinth (2 Cor.7:6,7,13-14; 8:6)
