Biblical name help!

Sorry for all these posts! We are pretty set on [name_u]Elliot[/name_u] as her first name. We had considered [name_m]Elijah[/name_m] and [name_u]Ezra[/name_u] as first names (they are both from the Bible) but [name_u]Elliot[/name_u] seems more feminine, so now we want a Biblical middle name that’s not too common but still feminine. I made a previous post about [name_f]Grace[/name_f]-[name_f]Glory[/name_f] but consensus was that it’s a bit too much. Open to all suggestions!

Well how about [name_u]Elliot[/name_u] [name_f]Glory[/name_f]?

I think [name_u]Elliott[/name_u] [name_f]Grace[/name_f] would work : ) but here are some more

[name_u]Elliot[/name_u] [name_f]Dinah[/name_f]
[name_u]Elliot[/name_u] [name_f]Hannah[/name_f]
[name_u]Elliot[/name_u] [name_f]Abigail[/name_f]

I really like [name_u]Elliot[/name_u] [name_f]Grace[/name_f]! It flows and is very pretty! I like the idea of an “obviously” female name for the middle name, since [name_u]Elliot[/name_u] is generally a male name :blush:

[name_u]Elliot[/name_u] [name_f]Anna[/name_f]
[name_u]Elliot[/name_u] [name_f]Lydia[/name_f]
[name_u]Elliot[/name_u] [name_u]Maria[/name_u]

Completely agree with @Elle1on needing to make it obviously feminine. [name_m]Hence[/name_m] why my choices all have the “a” ending.

Magdalena is so beautiful! [name_f]Do[/name_f] you pronounce it [name_f]Magda[/name_f]-leh-na of [name_f]Magda[/name_f]-lee-na?

I believe typically its the leh-na pronounciation but I could see the lee-na pronounciation also being usable

Elliot [name_f]Glory[/name_f] would be beautiful.

Also [name_u]Elliot[/name_u] [name_f]Tirzah[/name_f], [name_u]Elliot[/name_u] [name_u]Zion[/name_u], and [name_u]Elliot[/name_u] [name_u]Eden[/name_u] would be really pretty.

I love [name_u]Elliot[/name_u] [name_f]Grace[/name_f]! So soft and feminine.

Just a bit curious why you want to use traditionally male Biblical names. There are so many beautiful female Biblical names. You seem to really like E names, why not something like [name_f]Esther[/name_f]?

Elliot, [name_m]Elijah[/name_m] and [name_u]Ezra[/name_u] are all male names, sound male and should be used for boys only. I don’t think it’s a good idea to name her [name_u]Elliot[/name_u] when the Bible is full of beautiful names beared by great women!
[name_f]Glory[/name_f] or [name_f]Grace[/name_f] are nice middles anyway

I wonder if there’s a list of unisex biblical names / names that have masculine and female versions. I can think of [name_u]Noah[/name_u] and [name_m]Daniel[/name_m]/Danielle but that’s about it.

@Alix2016 has a good point!! [name_f]My[/name_f] parents are Catholic, so it is customary to name kids after a saint or a biblical name. Technically, my parents named me [name_f]Michelle[/name_f] from the Beatles song, BUT it is the feminine for [name_u]Michael[/name_u] the archangel, so it worked!

I actually like the idea of [name_u]Elliot[/name_u] [name_f]Grace[/name_f]-[name_f]Glory[/name_f] a lot! [name_f]Grace[/name_f]-[name_f]Glory[/name_f] is super fun (a bit over the top, but I think it works as a middle).

Otherwise, what about:

Elliot [name_f]Susanna[/name_f]
[name_u]Elliot[/name_u] [name_f]Galilea[/name_f] (not technically a Bible name but it reminds me of [name_m]Jesus[/name_m] and the [name_u]Sea[/name_u] of [name_f]Galilee[/name_f])
[name_u]Elliot[/name_u] [name_f]Miriam[/name_f]
[name_u]Elliot[/name_u] [name_f]Naomi[/name_f]/Noemi
[name_u]Elliot[/name_u] [name_f]Anna[/name_f] ([name_f]Annabel[/name_f]? [name_f]Annabeth[/name_f]?)
[name_u]Elliot[/name_u] [name_f]Rebecca[/name_f]
[name_u]Elliot[/name_u] [name_f]Zipporah[/name_f] (loved this suggestion)
[name_u]Elliot[/name_u] [name_f]Magdalen[/name_f](a)
[name_u]Elliot[/name_u] [name_f]Lydia[/name_f] (loved this suggestion too!)
[name_u]Elliot[/name_u] [name_f]Tirzah[/name_f]
[name_u]Elliot[/name_u] [name_f]Hannah[/name_f]

Good luck!

Some of the female variations aren’t [name_f]English[/name_f] but maybe could work…
