I need a biblical surname that flows well with Malachai...As in Malachai James or Malachai Benjamin, I would use those but I don't think they flow too well...

Not too hot on my biblical names... How about Matthew?

(Was David a biblical name? And if so... why do I know the name Malachai Davis?)

Avram
Avraham
Sarai
Sarah
Yitzhak
Yaakov/Yakov/Jacob
Reuven/Reuben
Shimon/Simon
Levi
Yehuda(Juda)
Issachar
Zevulun
Dan

Asher
Naphtali
Binyamin("ben yamin",meaning "right son")
David
Rut(h)
Sha'ul(Saul to you guys 8D)
Machlon
Chilyon(he and Machlon were Naomi's kids)
Naomi
Batsheva
Elisheva
Eliyahu(Elijah)
Yona(guy who got stuck in ze great big whale)
Noah(ark-dude)
Shem
Yefet(these two were Noah's kids;can't remember ATM the names of his other kids)
Yisrael(though this is pretty obvious)
Rivka
Rachel
Leah
Shmuel
Miriam
Moshe(Moses)

--And wait.By Biblical you mean the Old Testament or New?Because I'm only familiar(as well I should be!) with the old.

And people didn't used to have last names, it was always "son of ____".Or they got a title(like Eliyahu, who was both haNavi and haTishbi).

As for titles?

Cohen
Levi(these two are both technically Levi'im;but only the cohanim worked in the Beit haMikdash)
Yisrael(the jews who aren't Levi'im)
Avoteinu("our father"{in judaism, a teacher is considered as a 'parent' to a student})
haTishbi(from Toshav)
haGil'adi(from Gilead)(where there is apparently balm)
haNavi(the prophet)
Melech(king)

If you need any more, just poke me.


EDIT!If someone suggested Nimrod, then I suggest Semiramis(nimrod's wife)!

I've moved this topic, I think it's better suited to this section of the forum.

Sorry, no suggestions from me for you!
