Help[Opinions] Benaiah
What do you think of Benaiah?
I think this name can grow on me since I like Ben but don't like Benjamin enough to match how much I like Ben by itself. And I like names like Isaiah, Josiah, and Micah.
BtN says "This is the name of numerous Old Testament characters"-- does anyone know about any of those characters off the top of your head?

I think it's fine enough. I don't quite like the -aiah with Ben but I definitely don't hate it. It doesn't make me think of any Biblical characters.
I really don't like it. Spelling is terrible.
I like it in theory, but I think it would confound people. Benjamin is just SO popular, it's everywhere.
No biblical characters come to mind, I only know the Big Names mostly.

It's ok
It’s a great name, I like it a lot. This website will give you info on the Biblical men named Benaiah.

There was a post about it within the last few days:

Apparently, it's trendy in Israel. I don't really like it.

Oops, I didn’t notice that! I came across Benaiah while looking up biblical names for the quadruplets post and forgot to search the forums first.
I actually thought this post was the same one because I’d never heard of the name before it.
