Biblical Baby Names

Dear Marsha,

We are expecting a baby in December and we have chosen not to have the gender told to us.  My husband and I both agreed on letting it be a surprise.

I was wondering if you or any of your viewers would be willing to help us name the child.  We do not want common or typical names that are currently being used.  We want something that speaks out to us, and is preferably of christian descent.  I know this is a rough task, but if everyone just gave us one or two names for each gender, then I am sure we could come up with something.  I also understand that there are many web sites out there with biblical names listed, but we were wondering what others would choose.

Many Blessings,

Biblical Baby Names

Dear Biblical Baby Names,

Congratulations to you both and thank you so much for such a great honor.  I am certain you will get many responses to help you name your child.  I am tickled to make this post, because I also think it will be fun and interactive for everyone.

I am happiest that you have chosen to give your child biblical names.  These are the trusted names of old, and carry special meaning with each one.

I have compiled a list with 5 of my top choices in each gender.  I am excited to see how many other suggestions you get as well.
