I once knew a lady called Vashti, which is from the Bible, although I couldn't tell you which bit!

Talitha - I think it is Aramaic for 'little girl' - and it appears in the New Testament.

Vashti means 'beautiful woman' and she was a feminist icon for the story in the bible where she refuses to obey her husband and is punished.
It is a lovely name

Esther is a lovely name cute for a baby yet classy for an older woman

Lilith is probably not the greatest role model for little girls though. You might argue for her as a pre-Christian feminist icon maybe....

I love Esther (just need to persuade DH).

Also like Rebecca & Martha
