Lois

Possibly a bit out there, but I love it- Salome (Pronounced SAH-LOH-MAY).
Theodora.

Demelza

I love love love Salome but DH will not stand for it :(

She asked for John the Baptist's head on a plate so maybe not the best back story

Just a few from the Biblical section of the Virgin book of baby names:
Claudia, Hannah, Jemima, Lois, Naomi, Tabitha, Tamara.

Dinah?
Tamara?

yes agree with DH if deliberately choosing biblical names best not to go for the baddies ie jezebel and salome,
someone mentioned priscilla and aquila but aquila is male( acts 18 v2), my DD is Judith which is biblical but not common but not so unusual that she will spend her life spelling it out slowly on the phone etc

a can only think of a few not mentioned so far

Eunice, the early form of sarah which is sarai damaris bernice orpah

Lilith
Leah
Miriam
Julia

How about Jerusha? I have a friend called Jeszemma which sounds kinda biblical.

Judith is a deuterocanonical name so I suppose it depends on your definition of biblical...

My dd is also Judith, I chose it for the same reasons as you, Sarahtigh!

I also like Dinah but my cat got there first. From experience, a Dinah spends a lot of time correcting people who think it's spelt "diner".

Tamar. I love this name.

Beulah
Zipporah
Eva/ Eve
Mahalia
Ada(h)

Zoe (life; eternal life)
Sophia (Wisdom; Book of Wisdom)
Saphira/ Safira

Cherith, of course.

Ruth is nice.

I have a Susannah who actually complains that we don't know anyone else with the same name. She's 9.

Maryam as an alternative to Miriam
Deborah
Ruth
Hannah

Doh! Just seen 4 of my suggestions are in your 'no' list. Must read threads more carefully! Still - Lois wasn't, and I think its a lovely name.
