Bible Names for Boys |
Introduction | Boys A-G | Boys H-K | Boys L-Z | Girls |
Things to consider when naming a child... The name should sound nice. The Bible name Abialbon has a good meaning ("father of understanding") but it doesn't exactly roll off the tongue, does it? The name should have a pleasant meaning.
The short form of the name should also be pleasant.
The name should be special, but not out-and-out weird.
