Share Your Thoughts 10 Comments Tom May 27 at 6:50 am We had triplets! We wanted their names to be cool put without being super matchy-matchy. We chose Gideon Silas, Sawyer Harvey, and Henry Grayson. their middle names match each other’s first names. Silas with Sam, Harvey with Henry and Greyson with Gideon. 😀 Reply Grace Dec 6 at 12:35 pm I love the story in the Bible and the meaning of the name is really special to us. Our daughter, Miriam, was stillborn at 37 weeks and Gideon is our rainbow baby. His name means “Destroyer” or “Conqueror” and it is just a reminder that Jesus has CONQUERED death. Even though we are temporarily separated from our baby girl on earth, we know we will see her again someday in Heaven because Jesus has overcome the grave. <3 Reply Kristina Sechrist Jul 21 at 12:13 pm I wanted a unique Biblical name Reply Kristina Jul 15 at 11:52 am We wanted a Biblical name that you didn’t hear cert often. Reply Nieki Jul 10 at 5:23 pm My husband actually chose it, because it’s a strong name. Reply Olumide Jun 13 at 1:10 am I name him Gideon because it is biblical and through the leading of Holy Spirit. Has God ministred to me on that faith day ! I love the name because it fit the challenges we passed through during his pregnancy. Reply Grace Apr 16 at 7:23 am My husband picked this name for a baby boy before we even were thinking about kids. He was inspired by the main character in an assassin book. I like it because it is a biblical name of a Judge. It’s fun to have multiple reasons behind picking it.
