Any scholars here with good Biblical name suggestions for a girl? I’m not a fan of [name]Ruth[/name], I am a little warm on [name]Esther[/name]- but I know there are some great unknown names out there! [name]Lay[/name] them on me!
A few of my favorites from the OT/Torah (since all of those above are) are
[name]Adah[/name] (ah-dah)
[name]Keturah[/name]
[name]Keziah[/name]
[name]Jerusha[/name]
[name]Mahala[/name]
[name]Shifra[/name]
And better known but still more infrequent than the names above
[name]Eve[/name]
[name]Mara[/name]
[name]Michal[/name]
[name]Miriam[/name]
[name]Naomi[/name]
[name]Sarai[/name]
[name]Tabitha[/name]
[name]Yael[/name] is my favorite girl’s name. It’s the Hebrew form of [name]Jael[/name] and pronounced Yi-el. I also think Rahab is a strong and beautiful Biblical name. I’m not a biblical scholar, but I’ve had a year of Hebrew and working on my MDiv degree
