[name_u]Haven[/name_u]…?
Adah/[name_f]Ada[/name_f] - This is a more traditionally favored [name_u]Christian[/name_u] baby name IE, popular in the 20th century. It’s simple and especially nice if you have a longer last name. It means adornment.
[name_u]Ariel[/name_u] - of course this is not completely uncommon or unique and if the [name_m]Little[/name_m] Mermaid connection bothers you then it’s not great. I always liked the name [name_u]Ariel[/name_u] though, and it’s actually unisex! It means altar/light.
[name_f]Bernice[/name_f] - You could use a nickname like [name_u]Bernie[/name_u] or Nicey. “One who brings victory”.
[name_f]Bethany[/name_f] - Not uncommon but a great choice to be easily pronounced and spelled.
Candance - NN [name_f]Candy[/name_f]. It means pure/innocent.
[name_f]Chloe[/name_f] - I was surprised that this spunky name came from the Bible. It means blooming.
[name_f]Claudia[/name_f] - Also unaware this was biblical.
[name_f]Galilee[/name_f] - Choosing a place name is always a cool twist
[name_f]Hosanna[/name_f] - “prayer”
[name_f]Huldah[/name_f] - “one who is covered”
[name_u]Jael[/name_u]
[name_f]Jerusha[/name_f] - “inheritance”
[name_f]Junia[/name_f] - I love this one. I first heard it from a TV character and thought it was a cooler version of [name_u]June[/name_u].
[name_f]Kezia[/name_f]/[name_f]Keziah[/name_f] - This one was popular in the 19th century. It means “sweet-scented spice”
[name_f]Myra[/name_f] - “extraordinary”
[name_u]Neriah[/name_u] - “God is my lamp”
[name_f]Rhoda[/name_f] - “[name_f]Rose[/name_f]”
[name_f]Salome[/name_f] - “[name_u]Peace[/name_u]”
[name_f]Sapphira[/name_f]
[name_f]Tabitha[/name_f]
