delilah and lydia have been favorites of mine ever since i was a kid. delilah is probably getting to be pretty trendy now, though.

I like Delilah, Eve, Leah, and Tabitha.

Some of them aren't very cool to me, though. Like Deborah, Dinah, and Leah. They are biblical, but they aren't very interesting or anything.

yeah, those 3 just sound kind of old ladyish to me, too.

I like Lydia and (kinda) Tabitha. That's pretty much it.

The only one I would use is Leah, but because that's a good friend's name, I'd probably only use it as a middle name.

My dad's name is Paul David Joseph A------... how's that for Biblical?

[duckduckcaboose.livejournal.com]

Nope.

Eve and Tamar :)


My favorite boy names from the bible are Canaan and Ezra.

Also, Genesis is sorta cool for a girl.

ezra *is* a pretty cool name. it's starting to grow on me.

I would not use Sela(h) - it isn't a name, it's a hebrew word in Psalms which means one is meant to pause and reflect on the previous statement. It accents a portions importance.

I've debated using Jemima and Jonah as a twinset (both mean dove).

I like Delilah (although that Hey There Delilah song has tarnished it pretty badly), Eve, Leah, and Lydia.

Eek. Jemima. I can just hear all the syrup jokes now.

[bobinwales.livejournal.com]

I like Eve.
