We almost named DS Ezekiel - love the NN Zeke so that gets my vote.

I like Caleb slightly better

Ezekiel.

Love both equally! I'm going to say Ezekiel only because the nn Zeke is adorable. Caleb is amazing too though. Tough choice!

Ezekiel gets my vote, but they are both nice. I like the MNs.

Loving Ezekiel Joel

Caleb is classic

Ezekiel Joel is more overtly biblical, since it's two books of the bible. Caleb Joel is biblical without trying as hard.

That being said, I like Ezekiel better because it's less common.

Love Ezekiel (Zeke), it was on our short list.

Ezekiel Joel would be my vote. I know many many Calebs. It's my brother's name, my BIL's name, a family friend's son's name... and there are more. Plus I love the nn Zeke, Caleb does not have muh nn potential.

Thanks all for your feedback! I didn't even think about Joel being a biblical name because it's my uncle's name. That's why we're considering it. Thanks for pointing that out!

Caleb. They're both fine names, I just think of Ezekiel as being a little more....backwoodsy.

Ezekiel Joel....Though I thought Ezekiel Joseph sounded nice too :-)

Caleb is a great name...if you're okay with giving your child a fairly popular name
(I teach preschool and have had several Caleb's every year for the past few years)
