Favourite Biblical GIRLS names

[BasilDiffuser]

I love Miriam personally. But doesn’t fit us as a family sadly.

Damaris
Lydia
Rachel
Elizabeth

Hester
Talitha
Lydia
Jemima

Seraphina is not 'the feminine form of a biblical name'. It's a girls' name derived from a Hebrew word for a kind of angel, not a name. There are other names people sometimes used based on Greek and Hebrew words from the Bible, rather than biblical names: Hosanna, Anastasia, Zoe, even Catherine.

No-one ever mentions dear Mary. I like Mary.

Lilith

I love Dorcas.
Salome is lovely but not the best role model!

Anna
Bethany
Hannah
Keziah
Lydia
Martha
Mary
Miriam
Rebekah
Ruth

Martha

Ruth, Esther, Hannah, Rebecca

Damaris
Talitha
Susannah

Delilah! Nobody has mentioned DELILAH!

I agree with whoever said Jezebel, it's actually a fantastic name. Shame it's unusable!

I named DD Jemima, but sometimes wish I had chosen Keziah.

I love all the classic female names but some of my other favourite obscure ones are Tamar and Keturah. I think Judith and Deborah are gorgeous and due for a comeback without the nicknames Judy and Debbie.

My absolute favourite is Sarai (pronounced suh-RYE).

I like Damaris, Delilah Susannah and Dinah as well. I think Tamar counts as Biblical as well.

Naomi, Tabitha, Jemima.
Closely followed by Abigail, Mary, Keziah.

Eve!

Susannah
Dinah
Keziah
Elizabeth
Jemima
Sarah
Martha

After over 50 years as a Ruth I am over it even if the woman I am named after was just lovely.

However, I always wished I was Esther (would never have worked, single or married) and I was at a wedding next to an Afra once which I have since always thought interesting.

Wasn't there a Miriam in the Abbey Girls books. I liked that, too I might have liked an Anne except I was determined not to use any family named.

I have a relative with the middle name Hephzibah.

It’s pronounced as it’s written. I don’t like it though.

We used Ruth and Mary as middle names. Rachel or Eve might have been next.

Naomi
Esther
Ruth

We're Jewish, and currently trying to name our baby girl from the Old Testament/Torah. Those three are in the running, and I'm trying to convince DH to consider Tzipporah. Not having much luck!

Priscilla
Dorcas
Susanna

Deborah - kickass prophet and judge (v big deal). Only other was Samuel. Also went into battle. Pretty cool pre-monarchy lady.

Rahab or Hagar?!

Martha and Keziah are lovely - I'm presuming it would be pronounced Ke-ZIE-uh rather than KEY-zsuh?

I wonder if Judge Reinhold has an older brother called Joshua and a younger sister called Ruth - and he dropped the 's' at the end to make it sound snappier

Rhoda?

Ruth
