Comments and insights on the name Solomon

Solomon is a very strong name. A very God-honoring name (even the wisest man on earth was 'foolish' apart from God). While having solid biblical background, it fits well with the snowboarder/surfer type crowd.

Personal experiences with the name Solomon

We named our son Solomon Gabriel (Peaceable, Warrior of God). He is now 18 months old, and has a very gentle, nurturing spirit. He's also our little ham. He's small for his age - about the size of most 12 month olds. His siblings are Christopher David and Kiera Jean. Future siblings will most likely be Alexander Soren or Kai, Gideon Isaiah, Elizabeth (Libby) Louise, Magnolia Summer, and Adriana Nycole.
