I've always kind of like Damaris, that's from the New Testament. I like Sapphira also, even though she is notorious for the whole lie thing. You could always say that the name means 'honesty is fairly important' lol. Don't forget Lydia either, that's a nice one too.
Yeah I knew you weren't actually my lil sister lol but we can be surrogate sisters
There's some lovely suggestions in there. Some can't be used because of other family members etc but I like Miriam, Naomi and patience. I very nearly used sapphira for dd2 (shes a September baby so birth stone of sapphire) but talked myself out of it because of the biblical character. I'll definitely be mentioning Damaris to dh because he specifically said last night 'whats a good name that means peaceful, quiet or gentle?' And Damaris apparently means gentle. My other daughters are L.ydia and Ad.ina btw![]()
Any other suggestions I can throw at dh tonight??
I like Talitha. It was on a short list for one of our girls.
Also like Eve, (or Eva?) Esther, Rebekah, Johanna, Anna, Eden, Faith, Grace, Hope, Keziah (this one can be pronounced many ways - KEE zee ah, keh ZY ah, or KEH zee ah. The last is my favourite.) Mercy, Selah (I believe it's usually pronouced SAY lah) Tirzah (TEER zah, I think.)
You can also look at biblical boy names and feminize them, if you like. If this baby was a girl, she would be Matthea (mah TAY ah.)
Gabrielle, Michaela, etc.
Thanks again for all the thoughts lovely ladies... We ended up going with my original choice of T.alitha, it seems to really suit her so far as she is such a sweet little girl![]()
