Well Tom, if you've *been known* by both a John and a Jonathan, my hat's off to you. Vivien Send a noteboard - 24/03/2011 04:11:49 AM
John is from Yochanan and Jonathan is from Yonathan. Yochanan means "Yahweh is merciful" and Yonathan means "Yahweh has given".


But we need all the shortcuts we can get here!

Which apostles of Jesus Christ have you known? In the biblical sense, of course. Vivien - 23/03/2011 04:52:48 AM 1679 Views
About as close as I can get it is a Mary *NM* random thoughts - 23/03/2011 04:55:10 AM 323 Views
Yeah... Inequality and discrimination is so annoying! Vivien - 23/03/2011 05:10:48 AM 728 Views
most of them don't even have decent female versions to use *NM* random thoughts - 23/03/2011 01:10:15 PM 340 Views
Slutty. I like it *NM* Urza - 23/03/2011 05:10:03 AM 374 Views
lol, how many apostles do you think is slutty? *NM* Vivien - 23/03/2011 05:11:37 AM 435 Views
Depends. How many you been with? *NM* Urza - 23/03/2011 05:12:28 AM 424 Views
My answer. Vivien - 23/03/2011 05:14:54 AM 973 Views
Oh prude! 12 would have been a much sexier answer *NM* Urza - 23/03/2011 05:19:45 AM 1331 Views
Where is the line between prude and slut? *NM* Vivien - 23/03/2011 05:34:57 AM 431 Views
Sorry, trade secret. *NM* Urza - 23/03/2011 05:37:46 AM 442 Views
Darn! Vivien - 23/03/2011 05:44:33 AM 936 Views
My challenge to you... Urza - 23/03/2011 06:39:06 AM 836 Views
You don't get to give me challenges. Vivien - 23/03/2011 03:09:10 PM 783 Views
Of course I do Urza - 23/03/2011 08:34:29 PM 716 Views
I think it's related to statistical significance. *NM* Aeryn - 23/03/2011 10:55:26 AM 414 Views
Also, 12 would mean that there was a Judas. Vivien - 23/03/2011 05:56:59 AM 707 Views
oh man, i gotta remember dude's names? temeraire - 23/03/2011 05:44:06 AM 961 Views
What do you mean, "maybe"? Vivien - 23/03/2011 05:46:54 AM 941 Views
Yeah, you're winning so far. *NM* Aeryn - 23/03/2011 10:54:16 AM 433 Views
You know, Joshua and Jesus are the same name. Ghavrel - 23/03/2011 06:54:52 AM 800 Views
Good point. Joshua/Josh counts. *NM* Vivien - 23/03/2011 03:55:11 PM 445 Views
How can they have English names, when English didn't even exist yet!?! *NM* ironclad - 23/03/2011 08:56:09 AM 446 Views
God must be a forward thinker. *NM* Ghavrel - 23/03/2011 09:34:07 AM 321 Views
Well he is omniscient, and he loved Evangelical Baptists above all. It makes sense. *NM* Aeryn - 23/03/2011 10:56:05 AM 427 Views
Different ethnic versions of the names are fine. *NM* Vivien - 23/03/2011 03:12:18 PM 428 Views
Joshua = Jesus. According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal beetnemesis - 24/03/2011 10:08:27 PM 726 Views
Because cleary, God is a Brit. Michael - 24/03/2011 12:40:28 PM 778 Views
My response. Aeryn - 23/03/2011 10:53:06 AM 868 Views
1.5 nossy - 23/03/2011 02:43:46 PM 869 Views
Why? Vivien - 23/03/2011 03:15:23 PM 797 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 966 Views
Then it doesn't count. Vivien - 23/03/2011 03:53:55 PM 860 Views
Have a John is better than none...? *MN* Joel - 27/03/2011 03:42:09 AM 742 Views
Half a John, hahaha. Classic *NM* ironclad - 23/03/2011 03:55:37 PM 427 Views
*NM* TaskmasterJack - 24/03/2011 01:34:40 AM 379 Views
*NM* snoopcester - 24/03/2011 12:00:03 PM 417 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 403 Views
"How many apostles have known you?" Fantastic. *NM* Ghavrel - 23/03/2011 11:05:25 PM 438 Views
LOL. *NM* Vivien - 24/03/2011 04:12:21 AM 427 Views
Do women get to know anything then? *NM* Vivien - 24/03/2011 04:25:24 AM 389 Views
Can they know themselves? *NM* Vivien - 24/03/2011 04:31:24 AM 450 Views
Good question. According to Biblical scholar Richard Elliott Friedman: Tom - 24/03/2011 01:36:56 PM 820 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 1012 Views
What a terribly thought-out and absolutely groundless response you have shat out. Tom - 28/03/2011 05:56:56 AM 1025 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 660 Views
I never asked you to defend me against charges of elitism; I am an elitist. Tom - 29/03/2011 12:55:12 AM 1043 Views
Hahaha, no kidding. *NM* Vivien - 29/03/2011 03:56:43 AM 310 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 869 Views
Oh, did I offend you? Please let me continue to do so. Tom - 03/04/2011 05:24:25 AM 985 Views
Also, John and Jonathan are not the same name. Tom - 24/03/2011 02:48:49 AM 704 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 733 Views
I have come into the world, but the world has known me not. Tom - 24/03/2011 01:43:36 PM 809 Views
Nice *NM* Vivien - 25/03/2011 10:19:37 PM 409 Views
Which is why "Johnathan", "Jonathon" and the like are such abominable names. *NM* Legolas - 25/03/2011 07:41:02 PM 430 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 438 Views
Алина, Алена, Елена really bothers me Tom - 25/03/2011 11:42:56 PM 797 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 912 Views
Germans do it. Tom - 26/03/2011 12:20:21 AM 742 Views
I think you'll find they do it rather less these days. Legolas - 26/03/2011 12:31:54 AM 851 Views
I think you may be misunderstanding the concept of nicknames. Ghavrel - 26/03/2011 04:17:09 PM 721 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 848 Views
Possibly; I don't know what their parents intended. Ghavrel - 29/03/2011 01:41:32 AM 665 Views
I have known people who did it random thoughts - 29/03/2011 05:41:32 PM 673 Views
Actually, all Slavic languages do it extensively. Tom - 26/03/2011 12:29:39 AM 789 Views
My experience with Slavic languages is extremely limited, but... Legolas - 26/03/2011 12:44:19 AM 673 Views
But "Tom" isn't a proper name. Tom - 26/03/2011 01:53:38 PM 760 Views
For a lot of people it is. Legolas - 26/03/2011 04:52:57 PM 887 Views
Hoi polloi do a lot of idiotic things. Tom - 26/03/2011 04:58:46 PM 836 Views
Oh that's not that bad! Vivien - 26/03/2011 03:48:05 PM 806 Views
Well, you're in luck! Tom - 26/03/2011 04:52:18 PM 721 Views
But I can't! Vivien - 26/03/2011 05:13:20 PM 672 Views
Sure you can Tom - 26/03/2011 05:56:10 PM 733 Views
But... Vivien - 28/03/2011 07:28:17 PM 837 Views
But "Anya" only has a meaning as a short form of Anna. Tom - 29/03/2011 05:29:33 PM 650 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 862 Views
I don't mind it if the alternative spelling is at least somewhat current. Legolas - 26/03/2011 12:03:54 AM 851 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 850 Views

Re: I guess I haven't gone the apostle route TaskmasterJack - 24/03/2011 09:59:17 PM 731 Views
Are there more Peters, or are Peters more likely to get laid? *NM* Helene - 25/03/2011 06:08:51 AM 435 Views
Re: Are there more Peters, or are Peters more likely to get laid? Aeryn - 25/03/2011 11:10:47 AM 813 Views
I had no idea! Helene - 26/03/2011 04:28:06 PM 820 Views
The entire English-speaking world, generally Tom - 26/03/2011 04:55:01 PM 714 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 433 Views
I've never heard Peter as a word for penis. Rebekah - 26/03/2011 06:00:12 PM 731 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 869 Views
It's never too late! *NM* Vivien - 25/03/2011 06:42:01 PM 419 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 778 Views
Well then maybe it is too late *NM* Vivien - 26/03/2011 05:25:46 PM 356 Views
Yeah, most likely :-) it's actually quite nice to be honest. *NM* Helene - 26/03/2011 05:52:37 PM 443 Views
Just Magdalene, sorry, and she only counts if you're a Gnostic or Neo-Gnostic. Joel - 27/03/2011 03:23:58 AM 751 Views
Best I can do Bad Ash - 28/03/2011 07:01:17 AM 852 Views
