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 1829 Views

Yeah... Inequality and discrimination is so annoying! Vivien - 23/03/2011 05:10:48 AM 877 Views
most of them don't even have decent female versions to use *NM* random thoughts - 23/03/2011 01:10:15 PM 406 Views
Slutty. I like it *NM* Urza - 23/03/2011 05:10:03 AM 437 Views
lol, how many apostles do you think is slutty? *NM* Vivien - 23/03/2011 05:11:37 AM 502 Views
Depends. How many you been with? *NM* Urza - 23/03/2011 05:12:28 AM 506 Views
My answer. Vivien - 23/03/2011 05:14:54 AM 1106 Views
Oh prude! 12 would have been a much sexier answer *NM* Urza - 23/03/2011 05:19:45 AM 1412 Views
Where is the line between prude and slut? *NM* Vivien - 23/03/2011 05:34:57 AM 512 Views
Sorry, trade secret. *NM* Urza - 23/03/2011 05:37:46 AM 504 Views

My challenge to you... Urza - 23/03/2011 06:39:06 AM 970 Views
You don't get to give me challenges. Vivien - 23/03/2011 03:09:10 PM 919 Views
Of course I do Urza - 23/03/2011 08:34:29 PM 855 Views
I think it's related to statistical significance. *NM* Aeryn - 23/03/2011 10:55:26 AM 476 Views
Also, 12 would mean that there was a Judas. Vivien - 23/03/2011 05:56:59 AM 847 Views
oh man, i gotta remember dude's names? temeraire - 23/03/2011 05:44:06 AM 1088 Views
What do you mean, "maybe"? Vivien - 23/03/2011 05:46:54 AM 1076 Views
Yeah, you're winning so far. *NM* Aeryn - 23/03/2011 10:54:16 AM 500 Views
You know, Joshua and Jesus are the same name. Ghavrel - 23/03/2011 06:54:52 AM 935 Views
Good point. Joshua/Josh counts. *NM* Vivien - 23/03/2011 03:55:11 PM 515 Views
How can they have English names, when English didn't even exist yet!?! *NM* ironclad - 23/03/2011 08:56:09 AM 516 Views
God must be a forward thinker. *NM* Ghavrel - 23/03/2011 09:34:07 AM 399 Views
Well he is omniscient, and he loved Evangelical Baptists above all. It makes sense. *NM* Aeryn - 23/03/2011 10:56:05 AM 494 Views
Different ethnic versions of the names are fine. *NM* Vivien - 23/03/2011 03:12:18 PM 496 Views
Joshua = Jesus. According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal beetnemesis - 24/03/2011 10:08:27 PM 879 Views
Because cleary, God is a Brit. Michael - 24/03/2011 12:40:28 PM 913 Views

Why? Vivien - 23/03/2011 03:15:23 PM 933 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 1096 Views
Then it doesn't count. Vivien - 23/03/2011 03:53:55 PM 1001 Views
Have a John is better than none...? *MN* Joel - 27/03/2011 03:42:09 AM 876 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 466 Views
"How many apostles have known you?" Fantastic. *NM* Ghavrel - 23/03/2011 11:05:25 PM 501 Views
LOL. *NM* Vivien - 24/03/2011 04:12:21 AM 499 Views
Do women get to know anything then? *NM* Vivien - 24/03/2011 04:25:24 AM 451 Views
Can they know themselves? *NM* Vivien - 24/03/2011 04:31:24 AM 522 Views
Good question. According to Biblical scholar Richard Elliott Friedman: Tom - 24/03/2011 01:36:56 PM 984 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 1159 Views
What a terribly thought-out and absolutely groundless response you have shat out. Tom - 28/03/2011 05:56:56 AM 1181 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 808 Views
I never asked you to defend me against charges of elitism; I am an elitist. Tom - 29/03/2011 12:55:12 AM 1193 Views
Hahaha, no kidding. *NM* Vivien - 29/03/2011 03:56:43 AM 383 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 1044 Views
Oh, did I offend you? Please let me continue to do so. Tom - 03/04/2011 05:24:25 AM 1134 Views
Also, John and Jonathan are not the same name. Tom - 24/03/2011 02:48:49 AM 836 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 863 Views
I have come into the world, but the world has known me not. Tom - 24/03/2011 01:43:36 PM 965 Views
Nice *NM* Vivien - 25/03/2011 10:19:37 PM 488 Views
Which is why "Johnathan", "Jonathon" and the like are such abominable names. *NM* Legolas - 25/03/2011 07:41:02 PM 487 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 514 Views
Алина, Алена, Елена really bothers me Tom - 25/03/2011 11:42:56 PM 952 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 1059 Views
Germans do it. Tom - 26/03/2011 12:20:21 AM 879 Views
I think you'll find they do it rather less these days. Legolas - 26/03/2011 12:31:54 AM 1004 Views
I think you may be misunderstanding the concept of nicknames. Ghavrel - 26/03/2011 04:17:09 PM 872 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 985 Views
Possibly; I don't know what their parents intended. Ghavrel - 29/03/2011 01:41:32 AM 806 Views
I have known people who did it random thoughts - 29/03/2011 05:41:32 PM 803 Views
Actually, all Slavic languages do it extensively. Tom - 26/03/2011 12:29:39 AM 926 Views
My experience with Slavic languages is extremely limited, but... Legolas - 26/03/2011 12:44:19 AM 812 Views
But "Tom" isn't a proper name. Tom - 26/03/2011 01:53:38 PM 910 Views
For a lot of people it is. Legolas - 26/03/2011 04:52:57 PM 1037 Views
Hoi polloi do a lot of idiotic things. Tom - 26/03/2011 04:58:46 PM 983 Views
Oh that's not that bad! Vivien - 26/03/2011 03:48:05 PM 938 Views
Well, you're in luck! Tom - 26/03/2011 04:52:18 PM 863 Views
But I can't! Vivien - 26/03/2011 05:13:20 PM 809 Views
Sure you can Tom - 26/03/2011 05:56:10 PM 873 Views
But... Vivien - 28/03/2011 07:28:17 PM 976 Views
But "Anya" only has a meaning as a short form of Anna. Tom - 29/03/2011 05:29:33 PM 797 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 996 Views
I don't mind it if the alternative spelling is at least somewhat current. Legolas - 26/03/2011 12:03:54 AM 984 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 985 Views

Are there more Peters, or are Peters more likely to get laid? *NM* Helene - 25/03/2011 06:08:51 AM 501 Views
Re: Are there more Peters, or are Peters more likely to get laid? Aeryn - 25/03/2011 11:10:47 AM 947 Views
I had no idea! Helene - 26/03/2011 04:28:06 PM 972 Views
The entire English-speaking world, generally Tom - 26/03/2011 04:55:01 PM 866 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 498 Views
I've never heard Peter as a word for penis. Rebekah - 26/03/2011 06:00:12 PM 874 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 992 Views
It's never too late! *NM* Vivien - 25/03/2011 06:42:01 PM 486 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 908 Views
Well then maybe it is too late *NM* Vivien - 26/03/2011 05:25:46 PM 441 Views
Yeah, most likely :-) it's actually quite nice to be honest. *NM* Helene - 26/03/2011 05:52:37 PM 510 Views
Just Magdalene, sorry, and she only counts if you're a Gnostic or Neo-Gnostic. Joel - 27/03/2011 03:23:58 AM 892 Views
Best I can do Bad Ash - 28/03/2011 07:01:17 AM 992 Views
