On behalf of a friend who is having her second baby in about 3 weeks I'm after suggestions of possible biblical names which are not particularly negative (i.e. not something like Judas). Their first child is Deborah. Any ideas? This post has been edited by PatG: 14/02/2013, 07:16 PM

No, she doesn't know if she's having a boy or girl. I like Hannah. Didn't Jacob do something dodgy - cheated or deceived someone? Can't remember.

QUOTE (PatG @ 14/02/2013, 07:19 PM) No, she doesn't know if she's having a boy or girl. I like Hannah. Didn't Jacob do something dodgy - cheated or deceived someone? Can't remember. Didn't he wear a goat skin so he would feel as hairy as his older brother to get something (might have been Israel)... (Which is why Jacob means usurp). But I get my religious education from musicals.. Way way back many centuries ago Not long after the Bible began Jacob lived in the land of Canaan A fine example of a family man Jacob. Jacob and sons Depended on farming to earn their keep Jacob. Jacob and sons Spent all of his days in the fields with sheep Jacob was the founder of a whole new nation Thanks to the number of children he had He was also known as Israel, but most of the time His sons and his wives used to call him Dad Jacob. Jacob and sons Men of the soil, of the sheaf and crook Jacob. Jacob and sons A remarkable family in anyone's book Reuben was the eldest of the children of Israel With Simeon and Levi the next in line Napthali and Isaachar with Asher and Dan Zebulon and Gad took the total to nine Jacob. Jacob and sons Benjamin and Judah, which leaves only one Jacob. Jacob and sons Joseph-- Jacob's favorite son
