About as close as I can get it is a Mary *NM* random thoughts Send a noteboard - 23/03/2011 04:55:10 AM
The Apostles (according to me, with some input from other sources):

Andrew
Bartholomew (also known as Nathaniel, that should be easier)
James
Judas
Jude
John
Matthew
Paul
Peter
Philip
Simon
Thomas

Bonus: Jesus (since Judas is such a tough one)

I included Paul because there are already 2 of James and I wanted 12 unique names. If you’ve known 6 different John’s /Jonathan’s, sorry that still counts as only one apostle.

So, how many apostles have you known in the biblical sense?

Which apostles of Jesus Christ have you known? In the biblical sense, of course. Vivien - 23/03/2011 04:52:48 AM 1722 Views

Yeah... Inequality and discrimination is so annoying! Vivien - 23/03/2011 05:10:48 AM 765 Views
most of them don't even have decent female versions to use *NM* random thoughts - 23/03/2011 01:10:15 PM 357 Views
Slutty. I like it *NM* Urza - 23/03/2011 05:10:03 AM 392 Views
lol, how many apostles do you think is slutty? *NM* Vivien - 23/03/2011 05:11:37 AM 453 Views
Depends. How many you been with? *NM* Urza - 23/03/2011 05:12:28 AM 445 Views
My answer. Vivien - 23/03/2011 05:14:54 AM 1014 Views
Oh prude! 12 would have been a much sexier answer *NM* Urza - 23/03/2011 05:19:45 AM 1348 Views
Where is the line between prude and slut? *NM* Vivien - 23/03/2011 05:34:57 AM 451 Views
Sorry, trade secret. *NM* Urza - 23/03/2011 05:37:46 AM 459 Views

My challenge to you... Urza - 23/03/2011 06:39:06 AM 880 Views
You don't get to give me challenges. Vivien - 23/03/2011 03:09:10 PM 832 Views
Of course I do Urza - 23/03/2011 08:34:29 PM 760 Views
I think it's related to statistical significance. *NM* Aeryn - 23/03/2011 10:55:26 AM 433 Views
Also, 12 would mean that there was a Judas. Vivien - 23/03/2011 05:56:59 AM 755 Views
oh man, i gotta remember dude's names? temeraire - 23/03/2011 05:44:06 AM 1002 Views
What do you mean, "maybe"? Vivien - 23/03/2011 05:46:54 AM 986 Views
Yeah, you're winning so far. *NM* Aeryn - 23/03/2011 10:54:16 AM 452 Views
You know, Joshua and Jesus are the same name. Ghavrel - 23/03/2011 06:54:52 AM 840 Views
Good point. Joshua/Josh counts. *NM* Vivien - 23/03/2011 03:55:11 PM 466 Views
How can they have English names, when English didn't even exist yet!?! *NM* ironclad - 23/03/2011 08:56:09 AM 462 Views
God must be a forward thinker. *NM* Ghavrel - 23/03/2011 09:34:07 AM 338 Views
Well he is omniscient, and he loved Evangelical Baptists above all. It makes sense. *NM* Aeryn - 23/03/2011 10:56:05 AM 450 Views
Different ethnic versions of the names are fine. *NM* Vivien - 23/03/2011 03:12:18 PM 448 Views
Joshua = Jesus. According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal beetnemesis - 24/03/2011 10:08:27 PM 774 Views

lol, I'm sorry, that just got a lot funnier than I had expected it to. nossy - 23/03/2011 03:25:38 PM 1012 Views
Then it doesn't count. Vivien - 23/03/2011 03:53:55 PM 906 Views
Have a John is better than none...? *MN* Joel - 27/03/2011 03:42:09 AM 789 Views

In a strictly Biblical sense, it's the men who do the "knowing" and women who are "known". *NM* Tom - 23/03/2011 10:20:34 PM 422 Views
"How many apostles have known you?" Fantastic. *NM* Ghavrel - 23/03/2011 11:05:25 PM 457 Views
LOL. *NM* Vivien - 24/03/2011 04:12:21 AM 448 Views
Do women get to know anything then? *NM* Vivien - 24/03/2011 04:25:24 AM 407 Views
Can they know themselves? *NM* Vivien - 24/03/2011 04:31:24 AM 470 Views
Good question. According to Biblical scholar Richard Elliott Friedman: Tom - 24/03/2011 01:36:56 PM 882 Views
That seems over simplified in a few areas, though I've always agreed with the, er, "main thrust". Joel - 27/03/2011 05:13:14 AM 1061 Views
What a terribly thought-out and absolutely groundless response you have shat out. Tom - 28/03/2011 05:56:56 AM 1094 Views
Next time I'm defending you against charges of elitism remind me to forget this exchange. Joel - 28/03/2011 08:38:10 PM 722 Views
I never asked you to defend me against charges of elitism; I am an elitist. Tom - 29/03/2011 12:55:12 AM 1100 Views
Hahaha, no kidding. *NM* Vivien - 29/03/2011 03:56:43 AM 332 Views
Then I'll have to settle for hoping you're not as representative of RAFO as some fear. Joel - 31/03/2011 10:06:34 PM 956 Views
Oh, did I offend you? Please let me continue to do so. Tom - 03/04/2011 05:24:25 AM 1040 Views
Also, John and Jonathan are not the same name. Tom - 24/03/2011 02:48:49 AM 748 Views
Well Tom, if you've *been known* by both a John and a Jonathan, my hat's off to you. Vivien - 24/03/2011 04:11:49 AM 775 Views
I have come into the world, but the world has known me not. Tom - 24/03/2011 01:43:36 PM 851 Views
Nice *NM* Vivien - 25/03/2011 10:19:37 PM 427 Views
Which is why "Johnathan", "Jonathon" and the like are such abominable names. *NM* Legolas - 25/03/2011 07:41:02 PM 445 Views
I hate it when people of the same ethnicity have different spellings of essentially the same name. *NM* Vivien - 25/03/2011 10:20:32 PM 457 Views
Алина, Алена, Елена really bothers me Tom - 25/03/2011 11:42:56 PM 847 Views
Americans still have that "official name vs. everyday-use name" thing to a very large degree. Legolas - 26/03/2011 12:08:26 AM 957 Views
Germans do it. Tom - 26/03/2011 12:20:21 AM 793 Views
I think you'll find they do it rather less these days. Legolas - 26/03/2011 12:31:54 AM 892 Views
I think you may be misunderstanding the concept of nicknames. Ghavrel - 26/03/2011 04:17:09 PM 765 Views
Is it me, or are your first and last sentence in direct contradiction of each other? Legolas - 26/03/2011 04:55:33 PM 890 Views
Possibly; I don't know what their parents intended. Ghavrel - 29/03/2011 01:41:32 AM 710 Views
I have known people who did it random thoughts - 29/03/2011 05:41:32 PM 714 Views
Actually, all Slavic languages do it extensively. Tom - 26/03/2011 12:29:39 AM 835 Views
My experience with Slavic languages is extremely limited, but... Legolas - 26/03/2011 12:44:19 AM 717 Views
But "Tom" isn't a proper name. Tom - 26/03/2011 01:53:38 PM 806 Views
For a lot of people it is. Legolas - 26/03/2011 04:52:57 PM 931 Views
Hoi polloi do a lot of idiotic things. Tom - 26/03/2011 04:58:46 PM 880 Views
Oh that's not that bad! Vivien - 26/03/2011 03:48:05 PM 853 Views
Well, you're in luck! Tom - 26/03/2011 04:52:18 PM 767 Views
But I can't! Vivien - 26/03/2011 05:13:20 PM 719 Views
Sure you can Tom - 26/03/2011 05:56:10 PM 779 Views
But... Vivien - 28/03/2011 07:28:17 PM 884 Views
But "Anya" only has a meaning as a short form of Anna. Tom - 29/03/2011 05:29:33 PM 695 Views
So you wouldn't love me anymore if you found out my given name was Bobby? Joel - 27/03/2011 05:18:19 AM 907 Views
I don't mind it if the alternative spelling is at least somewhat current. Legolas - 26/03/2011 12:03:54 AM 897 Views
I love how as long as you're around I don't have to point out stuff like this. Joel - 27/03/2011 03:26:04 AM 896 Views

Are there more Peters, or are Peters more likely to get laid? *NM* Helene - 25/03/2011 06:08:51 AM 457 Views
Re: Are there more Peters, or are Peters more likely to get laid? Aeryn - 25/03/2011 11:10:47 AM 855 Views
I had no idea! Helene - 26/03/2011 04:28:06 PM 862 Views
The entire English-speaking world, generally Tom - 26/03/2011 04:55:01 PM 758 Views
I know a lot of words for male genetalia, but I'd simply never heard Peter... weird. *NM* Helene - 26/03/2011 05:51:56 PM 453 Views
I've never heard Peter as a word for penis. Rebekah - 26/03/2011 06:00:12 PM 777 Views
Really? There's a whole off color joke built around that in The World According to Garp. Joel - 27/03/2011 03:53:57 AM 913 Views
It's never too late! *NM* Vivien - 25/03/2011 06:42:01 PM 438 Views
Ah, I'm probably going to be known by only one man for the rest of my life Helene - 26/03/2011 04:27:41 PM 822 Views
Well then maybe it is too late *NM* Vivien - 26/03/2011 05:25:46 PM 384 Views
Yeah, most likely :-) it's actually quite nice to be honest. *NM* Helene - 26/03/2011 05:52:37 PM 461 Views
Just Magdalene, sorry, and she only counts if you're a Gnostic or Neo-Gnostic. Joel - 27/03/2011 03:23:58 AM 796 Views
