My husband and I are due in [name_f]April[/name_f] and we need some name ideas. We like biblical names like [name_f]Hannah[/name_f], [name_f]Eve[/name_f], or [name_f]Deena[/name_f]. One name that’s off the list is [name_f]Sarah[/name_f]. [name_f]My[/name_f] husband’s sister’s name is [name_f]Sarah[/name_f]. Any suggestions?

Selah is one of my favourites
Tirzah is my favorite Biblical girl name right now. 
. Not sure how obscure you want to go but I love that one!

[name_f]Evodie[/name_f] (you wouldn’t find this in a Bible, but [name_f]Euodia[/name_f], yes, which is related to [name_f]Evodia[/name_f], of which [name_f]Evodie[/name_f] the [name_u]French[/name_u] form? I suppose it counts? )
[name_u]Damaris[/name_u]

Ooo! That’s a nice one!
Chloe has always been one of my favorites but my husband doesn’t like it so much.
Some more (some more obscure than others!) :
Cassia
Keren (in the Bible it’s Keren-Happuch)
Bethany
Elisabeth
Zillah
Zipporah
Mara
Casiphia
Talitha
Seraphina (not actually biblical but there are Seraphim in the Bible)
Lois
Eunice
Myra
Priscilla / Prisca
I love Magdalene - or Magda

Ooh, copying [name_f]Prisca[/name_f] for sure! How did I forget this? I think it’s so much lovelier than [name_f]Priscilla[/name_f] and was likely her given name. [name_u]Love[/name_u] the suggestion of [name_f]Keziah[/name_f], too, although I can’t remember whose suggestion it was…

Yes I met a stylish teenage girl once named [name_f]Prisca[/name_f] and it really made the name come to life for me

Shoshana is the gorgeous Hebrew variant of [name_f]Susanna[/name_f] 
Otherwise, [name_f]Susanna[/name_f] and [name_f]Anna[/name_f] are lovely too!
