HelpRe: Twins

It's fun to plan names for the future. :-)
Trinity Elizabeth is elegant and will stand the test of time beautifully. I'm less sold on Jobe Evan, however. Can you give us some background on the name Jobe? It is used in another culture? Do you know the meaning of it? It helps sometimes. But I think it's going to be more of a headache than you realize. Would you consider using Jobe as a nickname for something like Job, or Jacob / Jacoby? I think your child would thank you.

Other than the Biblical figure whose patience was tested? I do know a Job from Mexico, and there are times I think someone is saying Hope when they say his name. I prefer Job without the e at the end. But, I don't think I would use it personally. But I'm not a huge fan of overly Biblical names for some reason. Maybe I know too many Isaiahs, Elijahs, Malakais, etc.

Yes, I did know about Job. I just thought perhaps Jobe (the way RandomBet is pronouncing it, with two syllables) could be some different name entirely, or a variant from the Netherland, for example. I hate to completely rule out a name and then have the original poster come back and tell me it's a name that's been in their family for twelve generations from Poland, or it's a family surname, etc. I was leaving the door open to be convinced, that's all. But thanks for the assist. :-)
I never thought about a Spanish pronunciation for Job. That would be something to get used to.
