Reply to: 14-child family I encountered by Catalina
Okay, I like biblical names as much if not more than the next guy but hey, I wouldn't use them for all 14 kids... but I spose after two or three you're on a role.

Benjamin (married to Nicole, sons William and Jacob) - Nice, especially if they call him Benjamin. Kids names are kind of blah.
Joshua - Love this name, just wish it wasn't so overused.
Mary - I always feel bad for younger Mary's not because it's a bad name but it just feels so dated. Maybe it's just because I love it for double first names... Mary Clare, Mary Margaret, Mary Helen, Mary anything!
Caleb - Overused for my taste.
Nathaniel nn Nathan - Prefer Neil or Nate.
Tobias - Nice, especially if they call him Tobias not Toby/Tobi.
Noah - I still have such an appreciation for this name even though it's terribly overused. But it's a really nice name.
Zachary - Not my favorite and overused.
Ezekiel - LOVE IT! Love it as Ezekiel love it as Zeke.
Isaiah - I really like this name I am just not sure how well it ages with every child.
Elizabeth - Not bad but I prefer a nickname.
Gabriel - Happy if they call him Gabriel.
Hannah - Not a fan.
Elijah - Love it, whether it's Elijah or Eli.
