Non biblical girls names

[Britishseamonkey]

I'm looking for a non biblical girl's name. Still want something quite classic, no flower names.
And when I say non biblical we also don't want names that are thought of as being part the 'Christian community' - so most Irish names , though I love them , and european names are out - nothing associated even vaguely as 'catholic'.
Any ideas?

Emily? It is non biblical as in not in the Bible. I may have misunderstood your criteria though.

No I don't think you did! I meant things like Francesca and Mariella ( which I love but oh has very strict criteria)
Emily is pretty but I'm hoping to find a name that makes me feel more 'excited' . We're pretty stumped.

How about:

Vanessa
Miranda
Chloe
Zoe
Harriet
Florence

Greek or Roman names ok?

Penelope, Claudia, Julia, Athena, Lucia, Octavia, Helen, Juno, Hera, etc...

Also Artemis, Diana, Calypso, Xantippe...

I don't really know which non Biblical names are also Christian and classic. Maybe:

Annabelle, Amy, Astrid, Brooke, Bryony, Charlotte, Chloe, Claire, Edith, Esme, Erin, Erica, Emma, Fiona, Genevieve, Hermione, Imogen, Ivy, Jessica, Juliette, Madeleine, Melissa, Miranda, Nicole, Penelope, Rosemary, Rhiannon, Sophie, Tamsin, Vanessa, Xanthe, Yasmin, Zoe, Zara.

non Christian that is!

I'm pretty sure Chloe is in the bible. Don't think it has particularly Catholic connotations though. What about Iona?

Chloe is in the Bible. So is Julia I think

list of girls names in the bible

Hope this helps!

For you to cross reference off your list...

Wow. That's fairly bigoted.

Victoria?

I love Felicity and Meredith but I have no idea if either feature in the bible?

I think Felicity may be a Catholic saint

Florence
Eleanor
Harriet
Helen/Helena
Melia
Evelyn
Matilda
Athena
Artemis
Anthea
Calliope
Melissa
Penelope
Thalia
Xanthe
Rosalind
Alice
Honor

Oh, and Freya.

What's so wrong with a catholic name?

Alexandra

Not sure if these meet your criteria but...

Caroline
Carolyn
Coraline
Coral
Claudia
Annabel
Anastasia
Anya
Bethan
Dorothea
Georgina
Ingrid
Iris
Juliette
Justine
Kimberly
Lydia
Lindsey
Lorna
Nicole
Stephanie
Susannah
Yasmina

Anything very clearly associated with a different religious system, so a Greek or roman goddess. Even if the name happens to be somewhere in the bible, the association is clearly with that other religion.

Or go Nordic. Freya, Ingrid, there are some lovely Nordic names.

I really don't get why it's bigoted?!?

Plenty of people regularly ask for example scottish, flower, unisex based names etc etc.

I think you will need to check carefully -several suggestions are in the Bible (Zoe, Lydia, Bethany - probabl others) or conspicuously Christian (such as Dorothea) or saints' names.

Do you like names fromth Greek myths?

Susannah's definitely biblical too I'm afraid...

Ottilie
Ophelia
Jeanie
Pippa
Thalia
