Some of you may remember a few years ago I was working on a musical based on 1 Nephi. Well I'm still working on it (or working on it again after letting it sit for a couple years). I could use a little input, so if you have a few seconds to spare I'd appreciate it if you'd click here and help me out.
Thanks,
Jared
I chose option 3, (just in case the email thing didn't work)

I would go with common names from the period. If you named the five daughters after us, we'd all want to be the one married to Nephi.

Emily: If I went with Trina, Tawnia, etc. I'd go in order. The eldest was married to Zoram, Emily would be with Lemuel, and Clarissa is the lucky winner who gets Nephi.
ReplyDeleteMom--
ReplyDeleteI got the email direct from the survey no problem. Actually I got it twice.

Clarissa: Esther is Persian? Wasn't Queen Esther a Jew? Just curious. I'm not sure about the name Hadassah though. It's just weird. I'd have to set her up with Nephi or no one would be willing to take that part. ;)
ReplyDeleteAnyway, specific names will be hammered out later. Maybe we'll do another survey.

Jared,
ReplyDeleteEsther was Jewish, but no one knew that (Esth 2:10) and she went by her Persian name rathr than the Jewish name. The verse that mentions her Hebrew name is Esther 2:7. There are a few female names mentioned in the Bible, but you have to look for them.
Emily
If you're using biblical names, Sam's wife should be Deborah.
