What do you think of Jabez? I like it. Both Jacob and Jabez are two syllable Biblical names that start with a J, both have a long A sound in the first syllable, Jabez has not seen any popularity at all since the nineteenth century, and until the last ten or fifteen years or so this was also true of Jacob. So with the way Jacob has rocketed up to number one, I can almost see Jabez doing the same thing.

On the other hand, its meaning is not so great. It means "sorrow."

Do you like it? Do you think the meaning makes it unusable?
