Help[Games] Bible CAF
Anthony did this some time ago, and I thought it'd be fun to do again.
Back in the old days, parents would sometimes choose a name for their baby by closing their eyes, opening their Bible at a completely random page, and pointing. The name their finger fell on or was closest to would be the baby's name. Pious parents often felt that God had "chosen" the baby's name this way, while more secular parents did it simply because they were stuck for a name.
So, that's how this CAF will be played. You can do any number of children, but I'll do four:
DH: Zion
DW: Delilah
DS: Job
DS: Paul
DS: Ahaz
DS: Cush
Miranda
EDIT 1: Forgot the parents' names!
EDIT 2: too -> to

Doing another one
Before I go to sleep, that is. I'm going to go on until I get a daughter's name (either a real given name or a feminine-sounding place name).
DH: David
DW: Esther
1. DS: Babylon
2. DS: Nebat
3. DS: Jacob
4. DS: Samuel
5. DS: Levite "Levi"
6. DS: Solomon
7. DS: Phinehas
8. DS: Damascus
9. DS: Saul
10. DS: Crete
11. DS: Esau
12. DS: Midian
13. DS: Paul "Pauly"
14. DD: Hannah
Well, I definitely hit on some interesting names! And I feel quite sorry for poor little Hannah there. 13 brothers is a lot for a girl to deal with!

Dude, we got the same husband/wife combo!
That's insane! With all the names in the bible, what are the odds?

DS: Abram Enter
DS: Moses Joseph
DS: Negev Will
DS: Samuel Turned
DS: Jeremiah Not
****Cool. :) BTW, I wonder if they had a girl and kept coming up with traditional boys' names (or vice versa), if they just kept "Bible dipping" (a term used in a book I'm reading right now, where they used the Bible like a magic 8 ball, lol) until they came up with something acceptable? And what if they just kept coming up with words--does that mean God chose the name "The" or "And" for their child? :b
BTW, I let fate decide the gender of these children. I'm also using words and not just names, for mn's.
