National popular names are very different, partucularly for boys, than they are in [name]Christian[/name] circles. Biblical boys names run rampant. You may not find these so popular, but these I hear All the time, and might add to their popularity on the national list.

[name]Noah[/name]
[name]Micah[/name]

(not all the girls are biblical, but still are extremely popular in our circles)
Actually, quite a few of those are pretty popular nationally. Some of the names that I find more interesting are [name]Justice[/name], [name]Gideon[/name], [name]Moriah[/name], [name]Eden[/name], and [name]Selah[/name]. You certainly don’t hear those used everyday.
I know a bunch of them are nationally popular, but ive heard many say on here that they dont really hear them used. I think they are popular nationally bc they are p opular within [name]Christian[/name] circles…KWIM?
I see. I’m totally with you! [name]Elijah[/name] is one that multiple friends have used, as well as [name]Leah[/name] and [name]Emma[/name]. [name]Anna[/name] and many of it’s variants I hear often. For boys, all of the popular biblical names are names I do hear frequently.
Haha, this topic interests me so much! I don’t really go in secular circles but I hear names in my sister’s [name]Christian[/name] elementary school and in my home church, and even when my denomination holds camp meetings every summer, I listen to all the names… it’s pretty much the same!
The ones I come across most recently, though, are [name]Autumn[/name], [name]Elijah[/name], [name]Jeremiah[/name], [name]Grace[/name], and [name]Leah[/name]! With the exception of [name]Autumn[/name], all of them are pretty Biblical, haha. I know like 10 Autumns, 20 Elijahs, and 10 Jeremiahs, lol! I’m not even kidding. [name]Grace[/name] and [name]Leah[/name] are less, but there have been two little Leahs born in the last two months that are somehow related to my home church (have family that go here, they visit sometimes, former members, etc.). And there are two Graces and a [name]Faith[/name] all in the same grade! I agree that most [name]Christian[/name] parents choose different choices for their kids, haha. All my siblings except for me have a FN that is quite heavily [name]Christian[/name]-themed ([name]John[/name], [name]Rebecca[/name], and [name]Natalie[/name]).
[name]Virtue[/name] names are big right now and Biblical names are popular with most, some liked on nameberry are [name]Ari[/name], [name]Ezra[/name], [name]Joel[/name], [name]Abraham[/name], [name]Delilah[/name], [name]Mary[/name], [name]Abigail[/name].
