My answer. Vivien Send a noteboard - 23/03/2011 05:14:54 AM
I've known two- a Matthew and a Paul.

The Apostles (according to me, with some input from other sources):

Andrew
Bartholomew (also known as Nathaniel, that should be easier)
James
Judas
Jude
John
Matthew
Paul
Peter
Philip
Simon
Thomas

Bonus: Jesus (since Judas is such a tough one)

I included Paul because there are already 2 of James and I wanted 12 unique names. If you’ve known 6 different John’s /Jonathan’s, sorry that still counts as only one apostle.

So, how many apostles have you known in the biblical sense?

Which apostles of Jesus Christ have you known? In the biblical sense, of course. Vivien - 23/03/2011 04:52:48 AM 1592 Views
About as close as I can get it is a Mary *NM* random thoughts - 23/03/2011 04:55:10 AM 285 Views
Yeah... Inequality and discrimination is so annoying! Vivien - 23/03/2011 05:10:48 AM 646 Views
most of them don't even have decent female versions to use *NM* random thoughts - 23/03/2011 01:10:15 PM 303 Views
Slutty. I like it *NM* Urza - 23/03/2011 05:10:03 AM 336 Views
lol, how many apostles do you think is slutty? *NM* Vivien - 23/03/2011 05:11:37 AM 401 Views
Depends. How many you been with? *NM* Urza - 23/03/2011 05:12:28 AM 390 Views
My answer. Vivien - 23/03/2011 05:14:54 AM 879 Views
Oh prude! 12 would have been a much sexier answer *NM* Urza - 23/03/2011 05:19:45 AM 1297 Views
Where is the line between prude and slut? *NM* Vivien - 23/03/2011 05:34:57 AM 390 Views
Sorry, trade secret. *NM* Urza - 23/03/2011 05:37:46 AM 406 Views
Darn! Vivien - 23/03/2011 05:44:33 AM 844 Views
My challenge to you... Urza - 23/03/2011 06:39:06 AM 754 Views
You don't get to give me challenges. Vivien - 23/03/2011 03:09:10 PM 698 Views
Of course I do Urza - 23/03/2011 08:34:29 PM 624 Views
I think it's related to statistical significance. *NM* Aeryn - 23/03/2011 10:55:26 AM 382 Views
Also, 12 would mean that there was a Judas. Vivien - 23/03/2011 05:56:59 AM 613 Views
oh man, i gotta remember dude's names? temeraire - 23/03/2011 05:44:06 AM 872 Views
What do you mean, "maybe"? Vivien - 23/03/2011 05:46:54 AM 848 Views
Yeah, you're winning so far. *NM* Aeryn - 23/03/2011 10:54:16 AM 409 Views
You know, Joshua and Jesus are the same name. Ghavrel - 23/03/2011 06:54:52 AM 717 Views
Good point. Joshua/Josh counts. *NM* Vivien - 23/03/2011 03:55:11 PM 415 Views
How can they have English names, when English didn't even exist yet!?! *NM* ironclad - 23/03/2011 08:56:09 AM 412 Views
God must be a forward thinker. *NM* Ghavrel - 23/03/2011 09:34:07 AM 290 Views
Well he is omniscient, and he loved Evangelical Baptists above all. It makes sense. *NM* Aeryn - 23/03/2011 10:56:05 AM 386 Views
Different ethnic versions of the names are fine. *NM* Vivien - 23/03/2011 03:12:18 PM 389 Views
Joshua = Jesus. According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal beetnemesis - 24/03/2011 10:08:27 PM 645 Views
Because cleary, God is a Brit. Michael - 24/03/2011 12:40:28 PM 684 Views

Why? Vivien - 23/03/2011 03:15:23 PM 706 Views
lol, I'm sorry, that just got a lot funnier than I had expected it to. nossy - 23/03/2011 03:25:38 PM 877 Views
Then it doesn't count. Vivien - 23/03/2011 03:53:55 PM 764 Views
Have a John is better than none...? *MN* Joel - 27/03/2011 03:42:09 AM 656 Views
Half a John, hahaha. Classic *NM* ironclad - 23/03/2011 03:55:37 PM 387 Views

In a strictly Biblical sense, it's the men who do the "knowing" and women who are "known". *NM* Tom - 23/03/2011 10:20:34 PM 369 Views
"How many apostles have known you?" Fantastic. *NM* Ghavrel - 23/03/2011 11:05:25 PM 407 Views
LOL. *NM* Vivien - 24/03/2011 04:12:21 AM 388 Views
Do women get to know anything then? *NM* Vivien - 24/03/2011 04:25:24 AM 360 Views
Can they know themselves? *NM* Vivien - 24/03/2011 04:31:24 AM 412 Views
Good question. According to Biblical scholar Richard Elliott Friedman: Tom - 24/03/2011 01:36:56 PM 738 Views
That seems over simplified in a few areas, though I've always agreed with the, er, "main thrust". Joel - 27/03/2011 05:13:14 AM 929 Views
What a terribly thought-out and absolutely groundless response you have shat out. Tom - 28/03/2011 05:56:56 AM 937 Views
Next time I'm defending you against charges of elitism remind me to forget this exchange. Joel - 28/03/2011 08:38:10 PM 539 Views
I never asked you to defend me against charges of elitism; I am an elitist. Tom - 29/03/2011 12:55:12 AM 955 Views
Hahaha, no kidding. *NM* Vivien - 29/03/2011 03:56:43 AM 273 Views
Then I'll have to settle for hoping you're not as representative of RAFO as some fear. Joel - 31/03/2011 10:06:34 PM 721 Views
Oh, did I offend you? Please let me continue to do so. Tom - 03/04/2011 05:24:25 AM 894 Views
Also, John and Jonathan are not the same name. Tom - 24/03/2011 02:48:49 AM 620 Views
Well Tom, if you've *been known* by both a John and a Jonathan, my hat's off to you. Vivien - 24/03/2011 04:11:49 AM 645 Views
I have come into the world, but the world has known me not. Tom - 24/03/2011 01:43:36 PM 720 Views
Nice *NM* Vivien - 25/03/2011 10:19:37 PM 376 Views
Which is why "Johnathan", "Jonathon" and the like are such abominable names. *NM* Legolas - 25/03/2011 07:41:02 PM 399 Views
I hate it when people of the same ethnicity have different spellings of essentially the same name. *NM* Vivien - 25/03/2011 10:20:32 PM 405 Views
Алина, Алена, Елена really bothers me Tom - 25/03/2011 11:42:56 PM 741 Views
Americans still have that "official name vs. everyday-use name" thing to a very large degree. Legolas - 26/03/2011 12:08:26 AM 816 Views
Germans do it. Tom - 26/03/2011 12:20:21 AM 658 Views
I think you'll find they do it rather less these days. Legolas - 26/03/2011 12:31:54 AM 763 Views
I think you may be misunderstanding the concept of nicknames. Ghavrel - 26/03/2011 04:17:09 PM 632 Views
Is it me, or are your first and last sentence in direct contradiction of each other? Legolas - 26/03/2011 04:55:33 PM 760 Views
Possibly; I don't know what their parents intended. Ghavrel - 29/03/2011 01:41:32 AM 580 Views
I have known people who did it random thoughts - 29/03/2011 05:41:32 PM 581 Views
Actually, all Slavic languages do it extensively. Tom - 26/03/2011 12:29:39 AM 702 Views
My experience with Slavic languages is extremely limited, but... Legolas - 26/03/2011 12:44:19 AM 581 Views
But "Tom" isn't a proper name. Tom - 26/03/2011 01:53:38 PM 667 Views
For a lot of people it is. Legolas - 26/03/2011 04:52:57 PM 805 Views
Hoi polloi do a lot of idiotic things. Tom - 26/03/2011 04:58:46 PM 736 Views
Oh that's not that bad! Vivien - 26/03/2011 03:48:05 PM 712 Views
Well, you're in luck! Tom - 26/03/2011 04:52:18 PM 628 Views
But I can't! Vivien - 26/03/2011 05:13:20 PM 594 Views
Sure you can Tom - 26/03/2011 05:56:10 PM 637 Views
But... Vivien - 28/03/2011 07:28:17 PM 756 Views
But "Anya" only has a meaning as a short form of Anna. Tom - 29/03/2011 05:29:33 PM 558 Views
So you wouldn't love me anymore if you found out my given name was Bobby? Joel - 27/03/2011 05:18:19 AM 762 Views
I don't mind it if the alternative spelling is at least somewhat current. Legolas - 26/03/2011 12:03:54 AM 765 Views
I love how as long as you're around I don't have to point out stuff like this. Joel - 27/03/2011 03:26:04 AM 743 Views

Are there more Peters, or are Peters more likely to get laid? *NM* Helene - 25/03/2011 06:08:51 AM 401 Views
Re: Are there more Peters, or are Peters more likely to get laid? Aeryn - 25/03/2011 11:10:47 AM 743 Views
I had no idea! Helene - 26/03/2011 04:28:06 PM 730 Views
The entire English-speaking world, generally Tom - 26/03/2011 04:55:01 PM 628 Views
I know a lot of words for male genetalia, but I'd simply never heard Peter... weird. *NM* Helene - 26/03/2011 05:51:56 PM 397 Views
I've never heard Peter as a word for penis. Rebekah - 26/03/2011 06:00:12 PM 643 Views
Really? There's a whole off color joke built around that in The World According to Garp. Joel - 27/03/2011 03:53:57 AM 793 Views
It's never too late! *NM* Vivien - 25/03/2011 06:42:01 PM 382 Views
Ah, I'm probably going to be known by only one man for the rest of my life Helene - 26/03/2011 04:27:41 PM 685 Views
Well then maybe it is too late *NM* Vivien - 26/03/2011 05:25:46 PM 323 Views
Yeah, most likely :-) it's actually quite nice to be honest. *NM* Helene - 26/03/2011 05:52:37 PM 408 Views
Just Magdalene, sorry, and she only counts if you're a Gnostic or Neo-Gnostic. Joel - 27/03/2011 03:23:58 AM 657 Views
