Wednesday of the Fourth Week of Advent (Lk. 1:57-66)

The birth of John the Baptist becomes an intriguing event for the people of his time. Even the giving of the name turns into an issue as he is called john, a name not found among his kin. Their relatives want to follow the tradition of naming the child after the father’s. But Zechariah and Elizabeth instead obey the instruction of the angel and named the child John. The name proclaims the truth that to the couple “the Lord was gracious,” which is the basic meaning of the name John in Hebrew.

John will become the voice of one crying out in the desert, who will prepare the way of the Lord and will become his witness. He will die a violent death because he will stand for righteousness. No wonder Jesus will say, “Among those born of women there has been none greater than John the Baptist”.

This should make us rethink how we name our children these days, for the practice has become too free and without control. The more foreign or strange the sound, and the more difficult and unusual the spelling as well, the better. Can we be more serious in our choices of names for our children?
