Bible Names

[Miss J]

I'm looking for names for bub number 2. DH really wants all our kids to have bible names. I'm more concerned that it has a nice meaning/sounds nice. Our DS is Elijah Damien. We have a one syllable last name that starts with W.

Here's my list of possibilities - I am open to any comments or suggestions of other possibilities

BOYS
Caleb ? Dog, Faithful, bold
Malachi - Messenger of God, Angel
Micah - who is like God (I really like this but some friends just called their little boy Micah this week)
Aaron - Mountaineer, mountain of strength, shining light.
Lucas - Bringer of light, morning
Seth ? Appointed, a substitute
Silas ? Wood, from the forest

GIRLS
Keziah - Cassia tree, cinnamon.
Azariah ? Whom the lord helps
Bethany ? House of dates
Zarah - Sunrise, rising of light.
Arianna - Holy
Shiloh - The peaceful one, tranquil (not sure that I like the Brangelina link)
Jemima - Dove
Hannah - Favoured, grace (maybe too popular for my liking)
Sarah - Princess (again maybe too popular)

I think middle name for a girl with be either Catherine or Louise, not sure about middle name if it's a boy.

I love Malachi. Also have you thought about Jonah?

Girls names that I love are Phoebe, Martha and Eve.

Not sure on meanings but Jacob or Tobias..

I'm a tad biased as my DD's middle name is ARIANE obviously also meaning Holy ... so, i will go with your choice of ARIANNA

I like for a boy LUCAS

I'll just add a couple of my favourites...

Boys:
Asher
Seth
James
Jonathan
Daniel
Isaiah (middle name, probably)

Girls:
Anna
Keziah
Talitha
Rebekah
Eve (Eva?)

Are there any particular bible characters you can relate to?

We weren't necessarily determined to use a biblical name for our son, but my husband really liked Samuel (and our surname begins with an M, so he wanted a middle name that started with an A to go with it). I was a bit blah about the name at first, until I read the passage in the bible that introduce Samuel and his name.

Samuel was the son of an infertile woman... after all our IVF treatment, I thought that was pretty appropriate! It means "asked for" which is also appropriate as we spent a long time in prayer asking God for him.

If you can find a name like that, which has special meaning for you, it makes the name choice so much easier.

BW, That is gorgeous! Noah means restful and peaceful or rest and peace and we just felt that's who he was from the time I was pregnant with him. He is Noah James so 2 bible names for him. Was just really sure that was his name, was even thinking of the baby I was preg with as Noah James before we found out that sex.

He certainly lives up to the meaning of the name, just who he is!

Not sure on meanings but Jacob or Tobias..

Tobias means "God is Good" Being the mother of a Tobias I know this hehehe
