This Biblical powerhouse is at his most popular ever – could he follow Noah into the Top Ten?

Looking for name that is both a literary and a Biblical heavy hitter?
Thanks to Marlene for suggesting one that fits the bill. Our Baby Name of the Day is Ishmael.
He’s an Old Testament appellation with a bright, modern sound.

He’s a Biblical boy who has yet to catch on. With parents embracing Isaac and Elijah, could he be next?
Thanks to Christina for suggesting Ephraim as our Baby Name of the Day.

He sounds like an elaboration of the evergreen John, but this name has a history all his own.
Thanks to Clio for suggesting Jonathan as our Baby Name of the Day.
