As a mom of 4 (3 girls and 1 boy), my husband and I would create our own lists of names we liked by researching online or going through Pinterest baby name boards and then we would pitch our names to one another. There were no hard feelings when my husband nixed one of my baby boy names or I his. Though if there is one you absolutely love and your spouse does not, hold on to it. You might be surprised that their name preference changes the closer you get to the due date!
I know mine did – I went from disliking the name Abigail for my first baby girl to loving it for our second baby girl!
Here is my list of uncommon biblical baby boy names and meanings:
Thaddeus – brave, heart, courageous
Boaz – strength is within him
Jericho – fragrant
Linus – flax
Ananias – favoured of the Lord
Hiram – exalted brother
Tiras – desire
Silvanus – forest, wood
Gideon – harvester, wood cutter
For my last baby, our first boy, we were stuck between naming him our absolute favourite biblical baby boy name – Gideon – or going with a childhood friend’s name that I was inspired by – Thaddeus. It wasn’t until our baby was born and we were looking at him for 10 minutes in the delivery room, that my husband made the decision for us. I was torn right up until that very moment!
Now that I look back, he is our Thaddeus. He looks like a Thaddeus! His big sisters have many variations of nicknames for him apart from his full name – Thaddy, Thaddy-boy, Mister Spit-Up.
