    @tequiero21: Some Biblical names are even pigeonholed to one race or ethnicity or another. Ex. I only know black Isaiahs and Solomans.

    @Mrs. Lemon-Lime: true but the names we picked are ambiguous for sure. Think John and mark sorta names, not Ezekiel or Bathsheba or something lol. Although lately, I've been seeing a lot of Asian Ezra's and I think that sounds very Jewish.

    @MrsTiz: lol....our LO will probably look Hispanic, so that's fitting I guess.
