My Fav Biblical Name

For a girl I loved Samaria so me and my husband named our daughter Samaria.

I like them for middle names.....

I don't like traditional names so the first names are by far different. For a girl Reeses Noel. For boys Koah Ezekiel and Dakota Samual. Though I realise Dakota is more normal then the rest. :) Best blessing to all your children!

In choosing Biblical names

I like Josiah for a boy and Rachel for a girl. Not necessarily for their meanings or history; I just like the way they sound and I think they're great even in very modern times.

My 3 sons

1. Noah, 2.Reuben and 3. Zach Always liked Martha for a girl and Eli for a boy.

Damaris & Peter

Damaris is such a gentle name, the way a girl is meant to be, and for a boy, Peter is a real strong name! Both are very spiritual people in the Bible.

In there twice!

Rachel. It's feminine, but strong and like a leader.

My Fav Biblical Baby Names

I tend to like what is not so common in baby names in general. I love Biblical names, and each of my children have at least one. My all-time fav biblical names would have to be Justus for a boy, and Prisca for a girl.

Hard to Choose!

For a girl I love Esther and for a boy I love Luke. My husband wouldn't go with Esther so we got my second-favorite - Sarah- for our first daughter.
