We love Biblical names with interesting meanings and a sense of history. I also like names which are classic but not too popular. So, ideas so far:

Girls: Tabitha, Matilda, Keziah, Cecilia, Jemima. Middle name likely to be Anne after my mum and surname is 1 syllable.
Boys: Jude, Elijah, Caleb, Luke, Elias.

Opinions and other ideas welcome! Smile

Cecilia Anne sounds like a lovely name. Kezia Anne comes in second (looks better without the H imo). All your boys names sound fine to me

Hello!

How about Ezra, Noah or Jacob?

My son is called Noah and we got a lot of compliments!

For girls
Eve, Eden, Amelia

Amaris is pretty. How would you pronounce it?

I like Keziah and Jude the best.

How about Amaris/Amarys for a girl or Saul for a boy?

Thanks Sophrina for the suggestions. Really like Esther, Helena, Louisa and Miriam from your girls list and Levi, Reuben, Elisha (would worry it would get mispronounced as the girl's name) and Jonah. Might have to run them past dh.

I really like all of the boys' names except Caleb.

Girls' names not doing much for me, sorry. Cecilia is the best but I far prefer Cecily.
