Help! I am due on March 17 and my husband and I STILL don’t have a name for our little boy! <\/p>\n

Our other children are named Matthew, Hannah, and Adam. Our last name is Bell. We prefer Biblical names that are classic, fairly common, easy to understand, and easy to spell\/pronounce. <\/p>\n

Our short list includes:
Michael
Noah
Jacob<\/p>\n

We have gotten suggestions for several Biblical names which we find a little too unusual for our tastes. Examples of names we’ve ruled out are:
Gideon
Josiah
Elijah
Isaiah
Malachi<\/p>\n

The middle name will be Scott. We are not concerned with flow or anything related to that. <\/p>\n

Oh, and if it gives you a better idea of our taste, the girl names we like (but won’t get to use) are Rachel, Sarah, and Rebekah. <\/p>\n

Thanks! I feel like I really just want someone to tell me, “Name your child ____” and I’ll go with it. The names we like seem to fit all of our criteria, but we just don’t love any of them enough to choose one.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Oh, man, you know what would be fun? If each commenter writes “Name your child ____” and fills in the blank! Here’s mine: Name your child Isaac Scott Bell.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
