Loosely-related Biblical name suggestions?

Hi! My husband and I are expecting our third child in March. My oldest son has a Biblical name (Thomas) and my younger son is Elliot, a name derived from Elijah, a Biblical name.

I’ve looked at traditional Biblical names and nothing sticks out to me, so I thought I’d see if anyone has any ideas for something that would be a derivative of a Biblical name (even loosely!) or has a spiritual or religious meaning (similar to how Elliot is from Elijah). I’m mostly looking for boy names but would also love girl names since we don’t know the sex!

Of course we don’t have to choose a name that is Biblical, but I think it’d be nice, especially because there’s not another name we already love.

I like the names Tobias and Timothy, but having 2 T names would just confusing- I already sometimes throw in the dog’s name when calling for my kids! Blush

Thanks for reading this! Please leave a note with any suggestions!

I like Isaac - the biblical meaning is "he will laugh". Joshua is a good name that's not used too much at the moment.
Elizabeth has lots of different nicknames, I like Lydia and Esther too.
