Old Testament / Hebrew baby names

[estrella22]

I have three children and I’m currently pregnant with my fourth. I’ve unintentionally used Old Testament names for my children as they were the names that I love - Caleb, Levi and Esther. I kind of feel like I’m stuck on a theme now and I can’t go rogue with my fourth . If we end up having a boy there are loads of Hebrew names that I like but if it’s a girl, I’m struggling to find one, especially that goes with the names I have! Any suggestions?!

Candace
Dinah
Leah
Lois
Jemima
Tabitha

Rachel?

I love Esther. My first thought was Rachel too, or how about Miriam?

Ruth
Rebekah

Ruth
Elizabeth
Eve
Sarah
Love Miriam too

Zilpha, a really unusual but lovely name.

Miriam
Keziah
Eve

Personally, my favourite OT lady is Jael.

Deborah

Rebecca
Hannah
Naomi
Ruth
Delilah
Leah
Abigail
Eve
Jemima
Judith
Keziah
Sarah
Susannah

Other biblical names (not all Hebrew):
Phoebe
Tabitha
Anna
Claudia
Chloe
Joanna
Julia
Lydia
Elizabeth
Martha

Of those I think Hannah or Martha would sit really well alongside the names you have already used.

Could you share the boy OT names you love please?

Sarah
Ruth
Hannah
They are my favs.
I named my dd after an Old Testament name place though. She is called Bethany.

Sarah is probably the ultimate Old Testament/Hebrew name (for girls). Sarah is considered one of the most important figures in Judaism.

Keturah. She was Abraham's wife after Sarah died.

Delilah and Miriam are great too.

I think Adina is beautiful. Arielle. Selah (not a name per se). I love Dinah but her story is short and sad.

Adah, Jemima, Lois, and Naomi sound complimentary to Esther. All the women's, or nearly all, have been mentioned.

Kezia
Delilah

Miriam is a really beautiful name.

Susannah
Keziah
Talitha
Abigail
Selah
Delilah
Apphia
Damaris
Atarah
Hadassah
Iscah
Jerusha
Keturah
Jemima
Mara
Sapphira
Junia
Naamah
Phoebe
Noa
Rebecca
Naomi
Salome
Tamar
Sarai
Tirzah
Vashti
Zipporah

Agree that Hannah and Martha go really well with your children's names.

For boys I really like Reuben, Elias, Ezra and Jude. Some great girls names suggestions, we have a Hannah, Sarah, Naomi and Rachel in our families so can’t have those ones!

Cherith
Naomi
Sharon

See you've already mentioned Naomi. Maybe add Deborah instead.

How about Sapphira with Saffy for short?

Love your names OP. However as you've specifically asked for Hebrew names, it seemed important to point out that, Elias is not Hebrew. Although I love the name have an Elias myself, Elias is considered to be the Latinised form and also the Greek variant of the Hebrew name Elijah.
