Just for fun: Create your own Old Testament name.

[Aristus]

I don't know if there's a website out there where you can do this, but my own way is pretty low tech:

Create a name that sounds like one from the Old Testament. Only rule: it can't actually BE an Old Testament name.

My effort is a two-fer; two Old Testament-y names: "And Heshazabulon begat Hoshesh."

You try!... B-)

The secret: lots of sibilants... :P

1. Don't have to - I have TWO OT names

Fortunately, two of the less weird ones, though they translate to Baby Female Sheep and Princess.

5. You're lucky. Mine means "a snare".

But if I'm making one up, let's call me "Vavavoomzelah."

[REP]

2. Oprah

[Kaleva]

3. Beth-Zur

[Rabrrrrrr]

7. That means "house of Zur", and Zur is in the Bible five times as a name.

4. ooh this is like that Palin name thing

I will try: Fallashet

6. I am Bozobus, celebrate me on Facepalm Sunday

:hi:

[nolabear]

13. Bwahahahahahaaaaaa!

You made that up!

:rofl:

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

18. Well, Ozymandias was already taken

And Bozobus sounds like it COULD be from a lost book of the Old Testament.

But I gotta admit, the Facepalm Sunday thing is like totally faux New Testament. Sometimes religious visions happen on the Seeds and Stems Tuesday preceding Ash Wednesday. Sorry.

:hi:

8. my name is Miriam so there you have it. Mem raysh yood mem is how you spell it in Hebrew.

Moses's sister.

[nolabear]

14. I've always liked that name.

[Yeshuah Ben Joseph]

9. Well I wasn't in the Old Testament

So I guess I can just use My own name?

[mucifer]

10. yeah but you are a nice Jewish boy.

:)

[Yeshuah Ben Joseph]

11. That's what My mom always says

Of course her name is also Miriam. Though many folks call her Mary. Or sometimes Maria.

[Aristus]

16. And your Q'uranic name is Isa Bin-Mariam.

Cool! B-)

[MilesColtrane]

17. Holy Spirit: "Maria, I just met a girl named Maria!"

"And suddenly that name
Will never be the same
To me. "

[TroglodyteScholar]

12. My names are already old testament

:D
