ArchivesWhat's the name of your child?
Hello! I am writing a research work about proper names in the English language. Will you be so kind to complete these statements:
1. My son’s/ daughter’s name is……………...
(If you have several children, you may write about each of them).
2. We have chosen this name, because…….
If there is a story, connected with the choice, please, write it.
Thank you!

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
