Biblical / bible names for babies

You can’t really go wrong with biblical names, they’ve been around a long time and they maintain their popularity year after year. They’re tried and tested, and they work as names when children are tiny and when they are grown and gone.

It is worth checking to see what the biblical figure, who had the name, was like. For example, you could choose Jezebel for a girl. Now that might seem a bad choice because the name is associated with someone – for the want of a better word – fickle in her affections. Although, in truth, she is misrepresented. Jessie or Jess are nicknames that work well with Jezebel.

Always bear in mind that you’re choosing the name for the person, not for yourself, so you might think Gabriel is a good name for a boy (which it potentially is) but how often is he going to be accused of having a girl’s name?
Whatever you decide biblical names are fairly bulletproof.
