2. We have chosen this name, because…….
If there is a story, connected with the choice, please, write it.

Mine are all in my signature. We like Biblical names.
  • "JoHannah Jubilee" is related to my wife's name, Julie Anne
  • Many of our boys' names are namesakes for Biblical heroes
  • "Aaron" is similar to a family name, Arlen
  • "Jordan" (1989-) wasn't given in our baby name book, but it sounded comparable to George & Gordon
  • We liked Maranatha (1991-) & Shiloh (1994-), but hadn't heard of them used as proper names before ours
  • "Nissiah" & "Joshana" were new (to us) coinages, though the latter, more correctly, should have been Hoshana
  • "Jeshua" is a less common variant of Joshua
