Biglittlelois: Hephzibah might have a good meaning, Vashti?? I have never heared anyone with that name , the name may also have a good meaning, sometimes what matters is the meaning of the name not necessarily the lifestyle of the owner of the name in the bible. And there are some biblical names which the lifestyle of the individual was quite good but has a bad meaning. There are some common English names that don't have nice meanings, it seems people don't research( at least Google) before they give children all these foreign names. |

If you were a Tottenham fan and you gave birth that day they trashed ManU 6-1, best to give the child the name Spurs |

Hmmm. I gave my 3rd son a name and people feel its an old fashion name. When I mention the name, they always have some kind of look. Each time I try to change the name my heart will be beating fast fast followed by slit headache. Any posh name I pick, doesn't go well with my heart and the name will not sound sweet to me. But when I call the particular one I gave him, it sounds sweet and gladdens my heart. I don't know why. And the name just pop up in the hospital after I birthed him, contrary to the name I had in mind before. It was after some time (probably months) before I remember that there was a time I said it in my heart innocently that when I have a son, I will name him that particular same. I have two boys before him and I didn't remember to name any of them the name. Could it be the reason why I kept having boys because I have not fulfilled my wish? ![]() |

A lot goes into naming a child. The name given to me was because of what happened to parents. My parents were told they cant have children. So they prayed and fasted, i was born. So my native means that everyone shall have a child 1 Like |

The act of naming a child should be an avenue to test your creativity. Even if there were circumstances surrounding your child birth whether positive or negative and you chose to name the child after the circumstance, you have to be creative about it. If the events leading to the child's birth is not important, still you have to be creative. You can be Igbo but you like the sound of Spanish names, you can coin a smart spanish-igbo name that has never been. If God can create everyone differently, every new born deserves a unique name. 1 Like 1 Share |

Biglittlelois: Some names have great means despite their Biblical characters. Judas is a variation of Judah which means 'Praise'. I have not heard anyone called Judas though. Jezebel according to some sources mean 'where is the exalted one/prince',. I haven't heard Jezebel either. Interestingly, Mary a name revered by the Catholics mean 'bitterness'. Hephzibah means 'I am in the Lord's delight' or 'My delight is in her'. It is a fine name would work better for me translated in our local tongues. Hephzibah is similar to 'Eyinojuoluwa' or 'oluwanifemi/oluwaferanmi/oluwafemi' and all the Femi series. |
