Re: Ezra and Abel
in reply to a message by Shiply
I think Ezra is terrific and I like Abel too. Yes, they are biblical names, but they only really stand out as such because they are little-used. If you picked Jared and Simon as brothers, or Susanna and Deborah as sisters, people probably wouldn't automatically say "oh, they picked biblical names" because they are used to those names in the mainstream. I think Matilda *might* seem the "oddball" to some people, but it wouldn't be a big deal...even less noticeable if there's another non-biblical sibling.
