Biblical girls names

[Pandypuff]

Phoebe
Martha
Esther (nn Tess)
Miriam
Lydia
Faith
Maria

What do you prefer and why?

And what middle names would you put with them?

Phoebe - favourite
Martha - a very sensible boring child
Esther (nn Tess) - too dreary
Miriam - too old
Lydia - nice
Faith - it’s ok
Maria - too old

I know Phoebe is in the Bible, but that wouldn’t be my first thought when I heard it; to me it’s a Classical name. Similarly, I would say Faith is a religious name, but not Biblical as such. Nice names though!
I love Esther and Miriam. Tirzah?

Esther is lovely. Esther Abigail.

If you would consider 'virtue names' like Faith, how about Patience?

Phoebe Martha Esther (nn Tess) Miriam Lydia Faith Maria

What do you prefer and why?

And what middle names would you put with them?

I prefer Phoebe and then Lydia.

Phoebe Isobel
Martha Lillian
Esther Charlotte
Miriam Kate
Lydia Grace
Faith Annabel
Maria Elizabeth

I know a Zillah which I always think sounds very pretty

I like all of those although Faith and Maria blend in a bit much to stand out.

Not from the bible but what about Trinity?

I love Esther and especially love the nickname Tess. Maria would be my second pick.

Esther Penelope
Esther Chloe
Esther Juliet

Maria Valerie
Maria Florence
Maria Jasmine

Damaris

I prefer Mary to Maria but from your list, Lydia and Miriam would be my favourites. Don’t particularly like Tess for Esther; I think people might assume she’s a Theresa.

Have always liked Tabitha. Keren would spend her life explaining she isn’t Karen I think. Phoebe is a lovely name but a killer when learning phonics!

And I’d love something like Lydia Faith or Miriam Joy.

Do like Martha too. And Rebekah.

Phoebe and Lydia are both lovely. What about Priscilla?
Bethany as mn for Lydia?

Other middle name possibilities:
Rose (for Rose of Sharon)
Faith
Hope
Grace
Beatrice/Beatrix (means blessed)

Bethany!

Esther, Lydia, Faith and Maria.

I’ve known girls by all those names and they all suit them.

Yohanna, Tabitha, Prudence, Ruth.

I’ve got no idea what middle names work with which name really.

Esther is a wonderful name. It's mine and it's nice to have a name that's uncommon but still known if you see what I mean... I love it!!!
