The Petra Zone

I would like to know some different names of Heaven; Certainly from the Bible, but also other books and authors.

Oreo Cookies in ice cold milk.
Honey Moon Night.
My first car.
Guitar on 11.
Milkyways from the freezer.
Long Island Teas (from the old rebellious days...uh, maybe this is hell now).

I always regarded U2's "Where the Streets Have No Name" as a notion of Heaven.

Thanks people but I'm being serious here and I am looking for different names for heaven.

I was serious. Clearly you don't want metaphorical names. Why don't you use Google?

www.google.com

I'm looking for a Christian point of view, and not humanistic view from Google.

Google has a view? And I always thought it was an inanimate search engine.

We have a 1 yr old girl and her name is Ezra Zion, and we are 5 months pregnant with a boy and we are looking for another name for heaven that will fit in a middle name format. I was trying to get some ideas but I guess no one wants to take this serious.

If that's the case, then I would think Jonathon's suggestion to try google would be your best bet.

Also try:

How about a baby naming book or a site or something?

I got it...Heath Vincent Executioner.

And it's shortenifiable to Hea-Vin Executioner.

Boom. Thread closed.

Boom. Thread open again.

Well, lessee, there's "Paradise" or "Golden City" but those probably wouldn't work for middle names. Though if you change the E in Paradise to an O, you get "Paradiso," a pretty cool artsy-sounding name you could use.

Then you have the word for heaven in other languages: cielo (Spanish/Italian), céu (Portuguese), ciel (French), Himmel (German), hemel (Dutch), cheonguk (Korean), tengoku (Japanese)

Not sure if any of those are serious enough though.

Thanks I think I found one but its very unusual especially for a name.

Well the full name is very unusual and will probably get blasted but we really like the unusual things. So the name for our boy is going to be


Nazareth Or


We all know where and what Nazareth stands for, but Or in Hebrew means Light of Zion. Our 13 month old girl is named Ezra Zion so the 2 will go hand in hand I guess you could say.

I myself generally don't mind unique names (in good taste, of course) but if you are not the homeschooling type, be prepared for your children to get picked on in school for their names.

I know I was picked on heavily with my name being Executioner and all, but I survived and I feel it made me a better person overall.
