Help[Opinions] Wdyt of Josiah?
I had a friend named this in elementary school, and I've never met anyone else with this name. Lately it keeps creeping into my mind. I really like it, and I thought I'd ask what you thought of it as well.
Also, what mn would you pair with it? Preferably nothing Biblical.

My daughter had a little boy in her preschool with this name. I like the Biblical piece of this name. However, some people found it difficult to pronounce or pronounced it incorrectly.

I love this! It sounds so strong and masculine, especially to one who loves Biblical names (aka ME!). However, if you don't like Biblical names, I wouldn't recommend it...

I love Biblical names, I just think that two Biblical names together is a little overwhelming.

I LOOOOVE IT!! It was on my list of names until I found out I was carrying a girl! It moved from a first name to a middle name after a friend named her son Josiah. It changed from 'Josiah Xander', to 'Nigel Josiah'. My (now ex-)husband says he would never have agreed to the name Nigel. I told that unless he came up with something *better*, that's what it would be! I've never seen a man so earnestly looking through a baby-name book!! (By the way, the best he could come up with was Aaron. We would have had a Nigel.)

Love it!
Have been telling people since the mid 90's to name their sons this (I only have girls).
I knew one guy named this, in his 30's now. Know a couple of boys named this -- one is 8 and the other is 4.

I don't really like it. It's SO Biblical; it kind of slaps you in the face to me. I know a teenager with this name, and he goes by Jay Jay, so that tells you what he and his friends think of it.

I think it's a nice alternative to the more common Joshua although Josiah isn't a personal favorite of mine. Nice enough name though.

The name Perry was the surname of one of my dad's law partners in a firm. I wouldn't ever name a kid that because of the association with a nerdy, lawyerish-type man. = Thanks for the suggestions, though.
