Bersheba, Really?

I find Bersheba (Be'er Sheva) a really weird name as it is the city in which I live. The name means "seven wells." Sure, it's very Biblical being Abraham's town, which I'm sure has draw, but still.

Batsheva, King David's wife, would be much more common.

I really like the name Frances Isabelle.

Cole and Jim were the ones in the gang, right? Or Cole and Bob? I can't remember. I haven't seen The Assassination of Jesse James -- only that horrible one with Colin Farrell. =P
