The Name Game

As I've mentioned, we are jealously guarding the chosen name of our son. But we've decided to use that secrecy for the greater good by hosting a fundraiser contest at Josh's church. That's right, it's time to play: "And He Shall Be Called." Guess the name of that baby!

Over the next three months, we're releasing a few clues to the parishioners who are being asked to guess the name. The "price" of each guess is a $5 donation to the church's renovation fund. Church members put down their name, their guess, and the date and put the slips in a jar. Whoever guesses the name right first wins a prize!

The first clue is:

The baby's name (and it is a bona fide name) appears somewhere in the Bible.

Now, I realize that many people just roll their eyes at the clue, given how many names there are in the Bible. But it does rule out quite a few names, I'll have you know. No Aiden. No Emmett. No Taylor. No Gregory. See? Lots of names right out the window.

Happy guessing!
