...Honestly, it's the same as the previous post: I simply do not know.
I find many names—both for boys and girls—beautiful in their own way. I suppose if I’m ever blessed with a son, I’ll take time to think deeply and prayerfully about what name to give him. For now, I don’t have a definitive answer.
But I will say this: names carry weight. They have meaning. Sometimes, a name seems to follow a person through life—like a whisper of their purpose, or a reflection of their personality. In Scripture, names often held great significance. They told a story—of identity, of calling, or of the moment in which someone came into the world.
Think of Samuel, whose name means “God has heard” (1 Samuel 1:20), given after Hannah’s heartfelt prayer was answered. Or Isaac, meaning “he will laugh,” because Sarah laughed at the idea of bearing a child in her old age—yet God’s promise still came to pass (Genesis 21:6). And of course, Jesus—Yeshua—whose very name means “The Lord saves” (Matthew 1:21). These weren’t just labels. They were declarations of truth.
So if you’re naming a child, I encourage you to be thoughtful. A name is more than something we answer to. Sometimes, it’s prophetic. It has the power to shape a person’s identity, direction, and how they see themselves in the story God is writing.
“A good name is more desirable than great riches; to be esteemed is better than silver or gold.”
— Proverbs 22:1
“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.”
— Jeremiah 1:5
