i was watching "seven brides for seven brothers" the other day.
there was a sibling set of 7 boys. they mentioned that they were easy to remember because they started with A, B, C, D, E, F & G. one character said that his mother wanted biblical names, but couldn't find any that started with F. :]

what do you think?
adam
benjamin
caleb
daniel
ephraim
frank
gideon


i like benjamin and caleb.

I <3 that movie. I really should watch it again. Even my Homer Simpson husband gets a kick out of that movie.

I like all of them except Adam and Daniel, which I find kind of boring. The only one I'd use myself, though, is Caleb.

I love that movie.
My hubby is a Benjamin, Caleb is second on our boy's list and I also really like Gideon (plus he was the character I used to crush on most when I was a little girl)

And I thought I'd add that when Milly (Adam's wife) had her baby they continued the alphabetical biblical tradition and named their daughter Hannah.

I love Adam, Benjamin, and Caleb, and Daniel's not bad. I like the name Gideon, but it seems like a name it would be hard for a real person to pull off. Same with Ephraim. I've never been a fan of Frank.
