Biblical Names for a Boy

A family at church who has used Biblical names for their three children is expecting their fourth child, a boy. The couple have a hard time deciding on names for their children and for that reason they have decided not to tell beforehand what they're considering for names.

There are so many lovely Biblical names and so I decided to play with it a little and think what I might choose to complete this sibset.

Isaiah & Raeann
Isaiah
Jeremiah "J.D."
Naomi
expecting boy in June

Old Testament names:
Aaron
Abel
Abram
Adoniram
Asa
Ephraim
Ezekiel
Ezra
Gideon
Ira
Jared
Joel
Jonah
Josiah
Jubal
Levi
Malachi
Micaiah
Micah
Zachariah
Zebulon

New Testament names:
Matthias
Matthew
Nathanael
Nicodemus
Philemon
Silas
Simon
Thaddeus
Titus
Zacharias

My favorites to go with their other children are:
Ezekiel
Gideon
Malachi

or if they were to use a New Testament name, Matthias, Silas or Titus.

What fun! :)
