Your favourite biblical names

[GEK1983]

Hit me with them. I tend to sway towards them. Love the sound of them but can't choose one. Boys and girls. Thanks

Thaddeus

Michael and Gabriel. Michael appears in OT and NT, which is lovely

Matthew, Luke (both vetoed for my DSs by DH) , Benjamin

Saints names also nice and full of meaning eg Christopher

For girls, Rachael is now so unusual but a great name. I like Esther, Miriam and Abigail atm.

Mary
Anna/Anne
Esther
Ruth
Susannah
Phoebe
Tabitha
Abigail

Joshua
Isaac
James
Joseph
Benjamin
Gabriel
Peter
Eli

Zipporah, Damaris, Isaac, Reuben

Caspar
Malachi
Balthazar
Priscilla
Leah
Rachel

I really like Moses and Zipporah.
I have 3 boys with common biblical names, a girl would have been Hannah or Martha

Mary,Martha,Esther,Zara or Zarach for a boy.

Shiloh 🤍 my absolute favourite gender neutral name

Point taken.

Oh and I've remembered a nice boy's name: Caleb.

DD is Lydia Eve (but she was named after Lydia Bennett, not the seller of purple cloth!)

Jesus

Ahab, Jezebel and Naboth.

Asa for a boy - would have used it if it wasn’t for the fact some people mistakenly pronounce it “Asser” and that nn Ace is also short for Asexual. I still love it though - one of the few boys palindrome names! Quite like the sound of Matthias too.

Mehetabel for a girl if I was super brave - but since that’s a bit much, maybe pretty sounding Talitha ( if I didn’t mind the Tabitha confusion) ,Damaris or Keziah.

Tirzah
Dinah
Keziah
Ruth

Samuel
Baruch
Adlai
Aram

Og, son of Bashan.

More seriously,
Adam
Ezra
Raphael
Dorcas
Susannah

Moses

Miriam
Leah

She was spelling it wrong: Mahershalalhashbaz

Isaiah 8

I’d have a Hezekiah and a Vashti.

Elijah and Hannah
