Hope, Faith, Grace... what are the BOY equivalents!?!

My.ABC.Life · January 2009

We're working on a middle name for our little guy... and thought we might like to have a religious/faith based type of middle name. But for some reason I'm TOTALLY blanking on what that would be for a boy. I could only come up with one... Gabriel - like the angel. And maybe Christian, but I think that is too direct... I was looking for something a little more subtle.

Thoughts?

I love Christian. I also like Jacob, Joshua, Joseph, Elijah, and Gabriel.

Before we saw G we were going to name him the equivalent of Job (Patience), you could always go with something like Matthew, Paul, Luke, John (but that is kind of generic), Peter.

A lot of people assume that Greyson (or Grayson) is a male version of grace. It isn't though.

Have you looked at https://www.biblical-baby-names.com/

How about Jesus? J/k. I really like Zaccheus and Lucius but both got vetoed by DH. I would have named my son Lucius or Luka if it we solely my choice.

I think most of the male names from the bible are actual people, not "concepts" like Faith, Hope, Grace. "Concept" male names... hmm... Ernest. Honor?

My fave biblical name for a boy is Silas.

I always wanted to name a boy "Coelis" (it's pronounced Chay-lees), it is Latin and it translates to "heaven". I love it but my DH hates it. Maybe I can convince him the next time around... I think the nn "Coe" (Chay) is cute. Unpronouncible, yes, he'll always have to spell it, yes, but cute nonetheless.
