Have you met my baby, Ecclesiastes?


I get the whole idea of baby names from the Old Testament or Torah. I do. I get Abraham, Ruth, Isaac, Samuel, Moses, and Micah. I can even sort of understand Boaz, Obadiah, and Ketorah. But yesterday I saw someone named Genesis. Sorry. The Drummer can't go there. That's a band name at best. At worst its a herbal shop and goddess book store.

And before you even START trying to come up with more, people, here's a short list of forbidden Old Testament names:

Hagar
Leviticus
Methuselah
Enos

Maher-Shalal-Hash-Baz

and II Chronicles

Got it? I hope we have closed this matter.

Naomi's okay, right?

What about Deuteronomy -- at least for wise old junkyard cats on their way to the heavyside layer?

Judge is great, of course! Just no baby Proverbs, OK?

Lucifer? Can it be Lucifer?

It's such a lyrical name...

Does the exclusive mention of II Chronicles mean that I Chronicles is in?

What about Melchizedek?
