I have a friend whose son's name is Simon Peter...like John Paul...he was born on Christmas, so his middle name is Emmanuel. I have always loved his name.

My vote is for Simon.
If you want an F name, how about Felix (there is a Felix in Acts).
Philip is six letters, but sounds like five

simon = simon says = no from dh
felix is a cat not a boy
ruben is a sandwich not a boy
Personally, I really like the last two.
Dh is being difficult about this though so those aren't likely to happen.
Thadeous would have to be a middle name, which we kind of like it for. (T = Tobias = already taken!)
I really like these, but they are all middle names, not first name qualifiers. 
Nathaniel
Maximillion
Lucas
Vincent
Thadeus
Keep the suggestions comming!

But its such a yummy sandwich
Isn't the sandwich spelled Reuben? Not that it would make a difference to your dh.

I think your dear hubby is going to have to loosen up a bit - as you are already aware there are not very many names available that meet the criteria.
Pretty much all the names I would consider somewhat common have been mentioned other than Linus and Hiram. Then there are the really different/obscure ones Iever, Laban, Palti, Reuel, Uriel listed in some Biblical name lists. That is pretty much it.
For naming sake, I'm hoping you have a girl!

Okay, not Biblical, but I subscribe to the "Saint of the Day" feature on iGoogle, and today's saints are Soter and Caius. I didn't check if these were letters you already used, but I noticed that they are five letters each and uncommon enough that you probably don't know any of them IRL. So I came to post them.

Martha, have you ever seen "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers"? They had 7 sons (duh!) and named them down the line of the alphabet from the Bible -Adam-Benjamim-Caleb-Daniel-Eli-Frank-Gideon. When someone pointed out that Frank was not biblical, they assured him that it indeed was - short for Frankincense. There ya go...

Did anyone mention Jesse? Or is that one of the no-no letters? Thank goodness I'm having a girl!
Martha, you're cracking me up!

I'm really rather hoping for a girl myself!
