Great Names, seldom seen

• Innocent
• Tough
• Comfort (Consuela in Spanish, not uncommon among Latinos)
• Precious
• Gracious
• Taffy
• Agreement

We have met people with all these names (except that last one), and we haven't been here that long.  These are all good names, just not common in the West.

What's in a name?

G^d sometimes changes the name of people in the Bible.  Abram became Abraham, Simon became Peter, Jacob became Israel, Saul became Paul.

One of my favorite verses is in Rev 2:17, "He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes, to him I will give some of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, and a new name written on the stone which no one knows but he who receives it."
