I love the list you gave me!

Ebenezer is fab - but we worry about the Scrooge thing.
I love Jethro and Gideon.
Mordecai - i have loved this for ages - but is it usable?? I dont like the Cai nn, and it sounds a bit morbid. But i love it!
Love Reuben, but cant use due to complicated family reasons.
I hadnt thought of Barnabas - i like it i think and will put it to the husband.

My aunt is Susannah so it is definately a potential mn.
I love Jemima but it is very popular and i know several already (ditto Esther).

Thanks!

I think Malachai is a more useable alternative to Mordecai. Hmm Jemima is popular where you live?

I live in England - there are loads of little Jemimas running around here!

I always find that interesting how different name trends are in other countries, even when they speak the same language. Here Jemima would stick out like a sore thumb, and likely be made fun of as "Aunt Jemima," the syrup mascot and black woman stereotype.
