Comments and insights on the name Moses

One person says: Possibly controversial to name your son Moses since he is such an important figure in Judaism.

Another person says: It's a name that is old and strong. It's rare and has a melodic sound to it. Lots of potential positive nick-names. Also some possible negative nick-names.

I don't know why more people don't name their sons Moses, like so many people name their sons Aaron. Moses was such a strong figure in the Bible, and Aaron was his brother. I think it's a great name of a great person, and I think more people should use it.
