So, as mentioned yesterday, bible names are IN IN IN!!! and with lovely meanings and Christian links...what's not to like. I find nice bible names for girls slightly harder to come by as many of the main characters in the bible are male...however...
Keziah-meaning "Cassia Tree", Keziah was one of the beautiful daughters Job was blessed with after the devil had taken all he had away from him. In the UK, it is commonly pronounced Kez-ee-ah but could also be pronounced Kez-eye-ah.
Jemimah-sister to Keziah (above), Jemimah means dove and is more commonly spelt Jemima. It has a nice ring about it that isn't too common or too unusual but pleasant sounding.
Abigail-means "my father is joyful". Abigail is one of those long standing names, aided by the cute nickname Abbie/Abby.
Martha-means "lady". Has a nice good girl feel about it without being too prim and proper. A less common alternative is Marla.
Phoebe-This name has a lovely meaning; "radiant/shining one" and it fits in with calm names like Freya with the added bible background
Hannah-Meaning "Grace", this name is a long stander-the most popular bible name at present and hopefully will continue with its gentle and homey sound.
Esther-As a brave and prominent bible character, Esther could fit in with sibsets such as Eve and Elizabeth but would equally work well with names of similar meaning such as Celeste, Luna and Cosmo
Lydia-meaning "woman from Lydia", this name was chosen for my cousin's child "Lydia Grace". It goes with the nickname Liddie and sounds classy and would age well.
Mary-means "bitterness". If you can overlook the meaning, Mary is a lovely name with links to Mary the mother of Jesus. This name never really goes out of fashion but to those looking to modernise it, alternatives are the welsh "Mari (MA-ree)" or "Marie" (Mer-ree) or adding an unusual middle name. You could always pair Mary with another name such as "Beth" or "Bee" or "Kate" or "Ann" or "Leigh" even if just for a more unique nickname.
