My answer. Vivien Send a noteboard - 23/03/2011 05:14:54 AM
I've known two- a Matthew and a Paul.

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 1768 Views
About as close as I can get it is a Mary *NM* random thoughts - 23/03/2011 04:55:10 AM 354 Views
Yeah... Inequality and discrimination is so annoying! Vivien - 23/03/2011 05:10:48 AM 808 Views
most of them don't even have decent female versions to use *NM* random thoughts - 23/03/2011 01:10:15 PM 370 Views
Slutty. I like it *NM* Urza - 23/03/2011 05:10:03 AM 405 Views
lol, how many apostles do you think is slutty? *NM* Vivien - 23/03/2011 05:11:37 AM 467 Views
Depends. How many you been with? *NM* Urza - 23/03/2011 05:12:28 AM 472 Views
My answer. Vivien - 23/03/2011 05:14:54 AM 1044 Views
Oh prude! 12 would have been a much sexier answer *NM* Urza - 23/03/2011 05:19:45 AM 1375 Views
Where is the line between prude and slut? *NM* Vivien - 23/03/2011 05:34:57 AM 478 Views
Sorry, trade secret. *NM* Urza - 23/03/2011 05:37:46 AM 472 Views
Darn! Vivien - 23/03/2011 05:44:33 AM 1011 Views
My challenge to you... Urza - 23/03/2011 06:39:06 AM 910 Views
You don't get to give me challenges. Vivien - 23/03/2011 03:09:10 PM 863 Views
Of course I do Urza - 23/03/2011 08:34:29 PM 789 Views
I think it's related to statistical significance. *NM* Aeryn - 23/03/2011 10:55:26 AM 444 Views
Also, 12 would mean that there was a Judas. Vivien - 23/03/2011 05:56:59 AM 787 Views
oh man, i gotta remember dude's names? temeraire - 23/03/2011 05:44:06 AM 1033 Views
What do you mean, "maybe"? Vivien - 23/03/2011 05:46:54 AM 1017 Views
Yeah, you're winning so far. *NM* Aeryn - 23/03/2011 10:54:16 AM 463 Views
You know, Joshua and Jesus are the same name. Ghavrel - 23/03/2011 06:54:52 AM 872 Views
Good point. Joshua/Josh counts. *NM* Vivien - 23/03/2011 03:55:11 PM 480 Views
How can they have English names, when English didn't even exist yet!?! *NM* ironclad - 23/03/2011 08:56:09 AM 488 Views
God must be a forward thinker. *NM* Ghavrel - 23/03/2011 09:34:07 AM 367 Views
Well he is omniscient, and he loved Evangelical Baptists above all. It makes sense. *NM* Aeryn - 23/03/2011 10:56:05 AM 461 Views
Different ethnic versions of the names are fine. *NM* Vivien - 23/03/2011 03:12:18 PM 460 Views
Joshua = Jesus. According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal beetnemesis - 24/03/2011 10:08:27 PM 811 Views
Because cleary, God is a Brit. Michael - 24/03/2011 12:40:28 PM 850 Views

Why? Vivien - 23/03/2011 03:15:23 PM 875 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 1042 Views
Then it doesn't count. Vivien - 23/03/2011 03:53:55 PM 940 Views
Have a John is better than none...? *MN* Joel - 27/03/2011 03:42:09 AM 812 Views
Half a John, hahaha. Classic *NM* ironclad - 23/03/2011 03:55:37 PM 457 Views

*NM* snoopcester - 24/03/2011 12:00:03 PM 461 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 433 Views
"How many apostles have known you?" Fantastic. *NM* Ghavrel - 23/03/2011 11:05:25 PM 470 Views
LOL. *NM* Vivien - 24/03/2011 04:12:21 AM 464 Views
Do women get to know anything then? *NM* Vivien - 24/03/2011 04:25:24 AM 418 Views
Can they know themselves? *NM* Vivien - 24/03/2011 04:31:24 AM 484 Views
Good question. According to Biblical scholar Richard Elliott Friedman: Tom - 24/03/2011 01:36:56 PM 925 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 1090 Views
What a terribly thought-out and absolutely groundless response you have shat out. Tom - 28/03/2011 05:56:56 AM 1121 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 752 Views
I never asked you to defend me against charges of elitism; I am an elitist. Tom - 29/03/2011 12:55:12 AM 1134 Views
Hahaha, no kidding. *NM* Vivien - 29/03/2011 03:56:43 AM 344 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 993 Views
Oh, did I offend you? Please let me continue to do so. Tom - 03/04/2011 05:24:25 AM 1072 Views
Also, John and Jonathan are not the same name. Tom - 24/03/2011 02:48:49 AM 776 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 806 Views
I have come into the world, but the world has known me not. Tom - 24/03/2011 01:43:36 PM 900 Views
Nice *NM* Vivien - 25/03/2011 10:19:37 PM 454 Views
Which is why "Johnathan", "Jonathon" and the like are such abominable names. *NM* Legolas - 25/03/2011 07:41:02 PM 459 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 482 Views
Алина, Алена, Елена really bothers me Tom - 25/03/2011 11:42:56 PM 893 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 1000 Views
Germans do it. Tom - 26/03/2011 12:20:21 AM 820 Views
I think you'll find they do it rather less these days. Legolas - 26/03/2011 12:31:54 AM 941 Views
I think you may be misunderstanding the concept of nicknames. Ghavrel - 26/03/2011 04:17:09 PM 808 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 924 Views
Possibly; I don't know what their parents intended. Ghavrel - 29/03/2011 01:41:32 AM 746 Views
I have known people who did it random thoughts - 29/03/2011 05:41:32 PM 745 Views
Actually, all Slavic languages do it extensively. Tom - 26/03/2011 12:29:39 AM 868 Views
My experience with Slavic languages is extremely limited, but... Legolas - 26/03/2011 12:44:19 AM 744 Views
But "Tom" isn't a proper name. Tom - 26/03/2011 01:53:38 PM 849 Views
For a lot of people it is. Legolas - 26/03/2011 04:52:57 PM 976 Views
Hoi polloi do a lot of idiotic things. Tom - 26/03/2011 04:58:46 PM 921 Views
Oh that's not that bad! Vivien - 26/03/2011 03:48:05 PM 880 Views
Well, you're in luck! Tom - 26/03/2011 04:52:18 PM 799 Views
But I can't! Vivien - 26/03/2011 05:13:20 PM 751 Views
Sure you can Tom - 26/03/2011 05:56:10 PM 808 Views
But... Vivien - 28/03/2011 07:28:17 PM 917 Views
But "Anya" only has a meaning as a short form of Anna. Tom - 29/03/2011 05:29:33 PM 739 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 934 Views
I don't mind it if the alternative spelling is at least somewhat current. Legolas - 26/03/2011 12:03:54 AM 930 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 923 Views

Are there more Peters, or are Peters more likely to get laid? *NM* Helene - 25/03/2011 06:08:51 AM 469 Views
Re: Are there more Peters, or are Peters more likely to get laid? Aeryn - 25/03/2011 11:10:47 AM 884 Views
I had no idea! Helene - 26/03/2011 04:28:06 PM 913 Views
The entire English-speaking world, generally Tom - 26/03/2011 04:55:01 PM 805 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 465 Views
I've never heard Peter as a word for penis. Rebekah - 26/03/2011 06:00:12 PM 810 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 935 Views
It's never too late! *NM* Vivien - 25/03/2011 06:42:01 PM 451 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 853 Views
Well then maybe it is too late *NM* Vivien - 26/03/2011 05:25:46 PM 401 Views
Yeah, most likely :-) it's actually quite nice to be honest. *NM* Helene - 26/03/2011 05:52:37 PM 475 Views
Just Magdalene, sorry, and she only counts if you're a Gnostic or Neo-Gnostic. Joel - 27/03/2011 03:23:58 AM 821 Views
Best I can do Bad Ash - 28/03/2011 07:01:17 AM 918 Views
