Biblical baby names.

[M0MS]

Looking for biblical names that don't have a bad association in the Bible. (Eg. no Delilah, Cain, Jezebel.) Thank you.

I have a Gabriel...

Other options
Andrew
Ruth
Sarah/Sara
Luke
Mary
Martha
Elizabeth
Jonah

Came on to say Eve & Isaiah

Most of the New Testament ones. The OT characters are generally more colourful and even the heroes of faith like David have major wrongdoings which are discussed in detail.

Google a list of NT names, and double check them to remove the likes of Herod and Judas!

Lots to choose from:

Interesting to see people suggest Eve. Adam and Eve might have slight negative connotation for some.

Most of the disciples and gospels (except Judas of course): Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, James, Thaddeus, Simon, Peter, Andrew, Philip, Thomas, Bartholomew, Matthias.

Mary, Elizabeth, Rebecca/Rebekah, Anna, Hannah, Abigail, Lydia, Martha, Miriam, Ruth, Naomi, Sarah, Priscilla, Tabitha/Dorcas, Rachel, Susanna.

Forgot Joanna as well.

Judith
Priscilla
Lydia
Deborah

I love Salome but it might have a negative association.

Mary
John
Jacob
Rachel
Daniel
Gabriel
Raphael (my personal favourite)

I have a Jude (not Judas!) and I also like Gabriel, Michael and Raphael. Not too fussed on Lucifer though 😂

Joseph

Amos
Saul
Elisheva
Keziah

Paul
Timothy
Seth

Esther
Naomi
Ruth
Sarah
Lois

Eve is a beautiful name but I do agree with you. I personally wouldn't use it.

There was a woman on location location location a while ago called Timna which was a biblical name.

I thought it was an awesome name.

Talitha (Ta-LEE-tha. Some pronounce it differently) is used as a name and I love it, but it wasn't a name in the Bible. Jesus says it during a miracle, he resurrects a little girl, it means "little girl" in Aramaic, the language Jesus spoke. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talitha_(given_name)

Depends if you consider that a bad association.

"Talitha is an uncommon feminine name meaning "little girl" in Aramaic, given in reference to the Biblical story in the Gospel of Mark in which Jesus Christ was said to have resurrected a dead child with the words "Talitha cumi" or "Talitha kum" or "Talitha koum," meaning "Little girl, I say to you, arise!""

My cousin is considering Talitha (Ta-LEE-tha/Tal-EE-tha) I like it and where it comes from even though it wasn't a name it is used as one now. It's mentioned on this list of Biblical girls names wehavekids.com/baby-names/biblical-girl-names

Jeremiah, Isaac, Elijah, Isaiah, Ezra, Malachi, Joel, Jonah, I like them, couldn't tell you much about them though, they are all Old Testament.

Gabriel /Gabrielle /Gabriella

Emmanuel
