I will have to consult my book and get back to you with more suggestions that fit the requirements. But right offhand, I like:<BR/><BR/>Blake, Dane and Greta<BR/><BR/>Why? Because I love all three names, but alas, could not use them myself, so I think someone should! Also, I think they all sound good with Gausman! They are unusual but not unheard of, easy to spell and pronounce. More later, and in the meantime, good luck!Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08315518784488675293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3303363313710609080.post-12694905502931841472009-03-25T22:21:00.000-05:002009-03-25T22:21:00.000-05:00(I R not smrt, that deleted comment was supposed t...(I R not smrt, that deleted comment was supposed to be a preview.)<BR/><BR/>Who I am: Law school classmate, former roomate, former tenant, follower to the West Coast, and guy who never managed to put much weight on TSG.<BR/><BR/>My name ideas: I'm not sure if this has any possibility of ending well:) I have a dog named after a Monty Python character and I normally bounce about the intertubes while being named after a giant pseudo-rodent or the dark side of a beloved bear. That said, I know momma Shannon has her hands full so I will do my grownup best to help (so no "'Lil Kev," even though it would be AWESOME):<BR/><BR/>Adam (I know, it's going almost all the way to the top for biblical names but "Adam Gausman" has a nice manly ring to it.)<BR/><BR/>Peter (Gives you that nice "Pete" option when you're feeling abbreviated.)<BR/><BR/>Sarah (this one is for the girl, if I didn't make that clear)(not that a boy named Sarah couldn't be a very happy and well-adjusted individual)(sure, it didn't work out so well for Sue, although he did manage to reconcile with his pa after early-life issues)(I'm just sayin'...)<BR/><BR/>P.S. Yes, I came up with biblical names all by myself. Evil Pooh has his good moments, too:)<BR/><BR/>Love you, Gausman-people.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07647726062002945119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3303363313710609080.post-40443698400954125942009-03-25T22:00:00.000-05:002009-03-25T22:00:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07647726062002945119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3303363313710609080.post-76756046111591407012009-03-20T14:26:00.000-05:002009-03-20T14:26:00.000-05:00Who I am: Shannon's co-worker and a mom of multip...Who I am: Shannon's co-worker and a mom of multiples<BR/><BR/>My name ideas:<BR/>S: Simon, Shane, or Samantha<BR/>C: Charles or Catherine<BR/>J: Jacob, Jonah, Jolene or Jean (of course!)<BR/><BR/>I also love Noah and Sean!<BR/><BR/>Why you should pick my names:<BR/>Really, they are just suggestions.

Boy: Nathanial (meaning "god has given")<BR/>2. Boy: Benjamin (meaning "son of the south or right hand")<BR/>3. Girl: Leah (meaning "delicate" or "weary") or Hannah (meaning "favored grace")<BR/><BR/>These all sound good with "Gausman," and they are some of my favorite biblical names....McCurtainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01977405994006483851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3303363313710609080.post-21397743884963901152009-03-16T11:27:00.000-05:002009-03-16T11:27:00.000-05:00Who I am: friend of Carl from HSNames: Noah, Jon...Who I am: friend of Carl from HS<BR/><BR/>Names: Noah, Jonah, and Abigail<BR/><BR/>Why: These are all beautiful, strong, and biblical names.

One site I like a lot is nymbler.com - it spits out similar names based on ones you like, so that might be helpful. I *think* the Baby Name Wizard site might also let you search on "Biblical".<BR/><BR/>I'm a fan of not making the names too matchy or too themed (like Rose, Lily and Iris, for example).<BR/><BR/>But I don't have any actual suggestions. :D Though there was a guy named Meschach at my high school :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15212690454989568626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3303363313710609080.post-857000935724803882009-03-14T21:32:00.000-05:002009-03-14T21:32:00.000-05:00I am finding it easier to come up with boy names t...I am finding it easier to come up with boy names that are biblical - David - strong name, timeless not trendy, fits all ages.
