Answer 5

I was given a baby book The Best Ever Christian Baby Name book that lists biblical names, where they are in the bible, what they mean etc

Here are a few suggestions from it.  

Girls:

Abigail- "source of the fathers joy" in 1 Samuel 25

Eve- "life-giver" Genesis 2 and 3

Hannah- "favored one of god" 1 Samuel 1 and 2

Lydia- "she who comes from Lydia (a former country)" Acts 16:12-15 Philippians 1:1-10

Phoebe- "Pure, shining, radiant"- Romans 16:1-2

Boys:

Alexander- "he who defends" There are three Alexanders in the bible Mark 15:21, Acts 4:6 Acts 19:33 and 2 Timothy 4:14

Benjamin- "son of the right hand"- Jacobs son

Caleb- "adventuresome or faithful"- Numbers 13 and 14

Issac- "He who laughs" Genesis 17

There are alot more in the book I just picked out some strong classic names that would sound nice as names today.  Not too common but not too out there! Good Luck!
