About 18 months ago I started a Bachelor Challenge, but do to life circumstances I was unable to finish posting it. Everything, but the final scenes had been shot - I just didn't have the time to sit down and fuss with uploading (the internet at my last place was that bad and did not get along with tumblr). I remain entirely in love with Hadrian and his suitors so it wasn't so much a matter of if I would finish posting it, but when. So starting tonight I will begin posting what remained of the challenge in hopes that I can finish shooting the finale when I have some free time over the holidays.

The posts will be slightly more abbreviated then they were the first time. The unfortunate reality of the situation is while I have the pictures I can't necessarily remember all the antics.

I do, however, know the most important detail still - who won.

Stay tuned....

Bible Names

Today, many are trying to give children biblical names that are of particular importance in Orthodox culture. By naming the babies in honor of the persons mentioned in the Holy Scriptures, parents not only pay tribute to the merits of those who stood at the origins of Christianity but also hope to give their child with the best qualities under the protection of Heaven. Besides, each of the biblical names has a specific meaning.

 The Origin, and Sound of Bible Names

In total, the Bible has about 2,800 male and female names, but not all of them are widely used. Most are of Hebrew origin, but Egyptian, Greek, Roman are also used, and some sound quite familiar.

The original pronunciation of names from the Bible can be very different from modern. One cannot ignore the characteristics of sounding and even spelling in different countries of the Christian world, due to the differences in national languages. 

 There are other distinctions. If you notice how many names are in the Bible, you will see when reading that there are many more characters. The reason is that some were called the same. The name of Christ that has not taken heart in Russia is actively used in everyday life by Hispanic peoples. However, in the modern Catholic world, boys are called Jesús (Jesus) in honor of the Son of God, and Josué (Hosue) in recognition of Joshua. 

Male names in the Bible and their meaning

We, perhaps, will not begin to analyze in detail the names of all the actors but stay only on those that are used today, well-known, and mostly having Russian matches. So, the meaning of biblical names is here. Have a look and select a suitable name for your little one.

•           Andrey - courageous;  •           Bartholomew - the son of cultivated land; •           Jacob (Jacob) - walking on the heels; •           John (Ivan) - the mercy of God; •           Matthew (Matthew) - a gift from the Lord; •           Simeon (Semyon) - hearer, who has heard God; •           Philip is a horse lover; •           Thomas is a twin.

 Common biblical names for men in today:

•           Aaron (Aron) - light;

•           Adam is the earth;

•           Abraham (Abram) - father of nations;

•           Aristarchus - ruler of the best;

•           Barack - lightning;

•           Benjamin (Benjamin) - beloved son;

•           David (Davyd) - beloved;

•           Daniel (Daniel) - the Lord judged me;

•           Zechariah (Zahar) - the Lord remembered;

•           Eleazar (Elizar) - God helped;

•           Elijah (Ilya) - my God Yahweh;

•           Joseph (Osip) - addition;

•           Yisrael (Israel) - competing with the Lord;

•           Jona (Jonah) - a dove;

•           Yitzchak (Isaac) - laughing;

•           Lazarus - the Lord, helped me;

•           Mikael (Michael) - who is like God;

•           Moshe (Moses) - taken from the water;

•           Nahum (Nahum) - the comforter;

•           Noah (Noah) - security;

•           Samson is sunny;

•           Solomon is peaceful;

•           Phlegont - burning;

•           Shmuel (Samuel) - heard by the Lord;

•           Elisha (Elisha) - God will save.

Interestingly, the names from the Bible are not found only among peoples pretending Christianity. In the Muslim world, even in orthodox countries, phonetically modified names are widespread. Islam Followers are also willingly called boys in honor of the heroes of the Old and New Bible. A small list of biblical male names for Muslims:

•           Ibrahim - Abraham;

•           Ilyas - Elijah;

•           Isa is Jesus;

•           Musa - Moshe;

•           Harun - Aaron;

•           Yusuf - Joseph;

•           Jacob - Jacob.

  Female names found in the Bible

The most famous Hebrew name in Europe today sounds like Mary everywhere. It was the name not only of the Mother of God but also of many other women in the Holy Scriptures. However, it is in memory of the Blessed Mary and is still often called girls around the world. There are other female biblical names famous in the modern world:

•           Ada (decoration) - the wife of Lamech from the Old Testament;

•           Anna (Divine Grace) is the name of several characters from the Bible;

•           Eve (giving life) is the first woman created by the Lord and succumbed to the temptation of the Serpent;

•           Elizabeth - (conjuring God) - the righteous, cousin of the Virgin Mary;

•           Leah (cow) - Rachel's older sister, Jacob's wife;

•           Magdalene (inspired) - repentant sinner Mary Magdalene;

•           Martha (mistress) - the sister of Lazarus in the New Testament;

•           Rachel (sheep) - Leah's younger sister, Jacob's wife;

•           Ruth (girlfriend) - great-grandmother of King David in the Old Testament;

•           Sarah (noble) - the wife of Abraham, the progenitor of the Jewish people;

•           Tamara (palm) - the beautiful Tamar from the dynasty of King David.

There is no need to publish a complete list of biblical names since many of them are considered old in modern society. And also, they are not characterized by harmony. But even in the above list, it is quite possible to choose the one that is suitable in sound, meaning, and merit of the original medium, whose spiritual life earns a place on the pages of the Bible and a corresponding mark in church calendars.

 As you can see, biblical names are not at all uncommon. In addition to the New and Old bibles, there are later sources which your list can be easily extended if desired. Since its starting, the Christian church ranked the holy media and victims, who also went down in the history of religion. In any case, giving the child a name from the Bible, there is no doubt that it matters!

Episode 6 - Group Two

Group 2 is carving away as Hadrian relaxes in the pool (because water = life), and a wild Milo appears to distract the contestants.

[indigoelfinspirit]

Episode 5 - Fourth Rose Party

We have returned to the Bachelor Mansion for our celebratory party, which means plenty of food, dancing, and Milo hitting on contestants it seems.

The Fabricator takes no prisoners though

Round 4 Results

The boys made some choices this round - some good and some not so much. This was also not the round to mess around on. The two contestants with the high scores get to go on a spa date with Hadrian. The contestant with the lowest score goes home.

2. Robin

3. Colby

4. Edmund

5. David

6. Colt

7. Kelly

8. Maddox

9. Ilya

10. Jonah

Which means Jonah Avila is going home. Thank you so much for sending him @simsinfinitylt! He’s cute and he did well in the introductions, but after that point he was interested in literally everyone and everything but Hadrian so his scores suffered greatly while the others were slowly making gains.

In better news congrats to Nate and Robin and their creators @simmancy and @atwistoftales they are going on the first official date!

[indigoelfinspirit]

Group 2 is a bit more chaotic. Hadrian and Edmund really hit it off. Nate did come over to talk too, and Jonah showed up towards the end. Ilya tried but he doesn’t like crowds.

Ilya Wells-Abrams by @mathemagicsims​

Hadrian: Oh, Hi I wasn’t expecting you so early.

Ilya: What are you wearing?

Hadrian: A bathing suit. Do you wanna borrow one and join me?

[indigoelfinspirit]

Group 2

After yoga Hadrian stayed to chat with the boys, and it went mostly well except for 2 major issues.

Issue 1 - Jonah literally left the lot. Like he’s barely been interacting with Hadrian and now he just peaced out.

Issue 2 - Well, that deserves it’s own post.

[indigoelfinspirit]

Painting Challenge Results

Romance and Friendship scores were added and the boys were given a bonus based on the value of their paintings. This time I put together a leader board, but there is a huge gulf between the top contestants and the rest. It’s still anyone’s game.

1. Nate

2. Robin

3. Edmund

4. Jonah

5. David & Colt (tied)

6. Colby

7. Maddox

8.. Ilya

9. Kelly

10. Luca

Luca is going home. Thank you so much for sending him @siminycricket! He was great, but his romance bar never got out of the negative range. We will miss him.

[indigoelfinspirit]

Everyone seemed to gather in groups. Most of the contestants get along really well, which is both a blessing and a curse because they spend 90% of their time talking to each other and ignoring Hadrian 😂😂😂
