    Asa
    Amasa
    Asaph
    Absalom
    Lazarus
    Reuben
    Appollos
    Shiloh (prefer it on a girl)
    Simeon
    Titus
    Jericho
    Manasseh
    Zebulun
    Eliab (great meaning: "my father is God")
    Jotham

    It's not in the bible (to my knowledge, anyway!) but have you considered Anton? I like the sound of Anton Paul...

    Some other suggestions:
    Ezekiel Paul(nickname Zeke?)
    Simeon Paul
    Gideon Paul
    Malachi Paul
    Zachariah Paul
    Barnabas Paul

    Best of luck!

    I like both his names but funnily enough being English thought 'are those names?' of your first two picks! Theseus has the option of 'Theo' as a nn but while I like Washington I can't think of a good shortening. Good luck, you have tons of time to decide. When you pick your favourite names as a little kid you always forget you've got to convince someone else to like them too - my husband ruled out everything Irish and anything from a ballet!

    I think Wash is a good nickname for Washington. It reminds me of the character from Firefly which is a very good connection, in my opinion.

    I like the biblical name Thaddeus which is kind of close of Theseus. It comes with the great nicknames Thad or Tad.

    Also:
    Abram nn Bram
    Ezekiel nn Zeke
    Jonah
    Barnabus
    Micah
