Help[Opinions] Favorite Biblical/Hebrew name
Pretty self-explanatory. There are so many beautiful names in the Bible. It's hard to choose a favorite. But among my favorites are Jochebed, Jael, Joel, Azariah, and many more. There are too many names to create an effective poll, so I figured people could just post their favorite Hebrew name(s) here. Which names do you like best for kids, and which names do you find to be the most interesting?

Well, I love Hebrew names, though I'm more into modern Hebrew or yiddish names than "proper" Biblical ones. Anyway, one of my favourites is Zipporah. You can just check out my PNL for others I like.

Asher and Micah are great, as someone else mentioned.
My personal favs are more commonly used ones:
Seth
Ruth (love her story in the Bible!)
Rachel
Rebecca
Leah (I like this name, but in the Bible it means "weak eyes" which isn't the prettiest meaning)
Jacob
Noah (one of my all-time favorite names, it sounds modern and traditional)
Michael

I like:
Jeriah
Isaac
Jamin
and I would use any of those.
One I find very interesting is Hazael. I also like Gabriel a lot but don't know if I would use it because I really don't like the nickname Gabe.
Females:
Susannah is pretty. Tamar is interesting. Michal is also very interesting for a female. Abigail has one of the best meanings.

I love traditional names like David and Daniel, but there are so many really unique Biblical names, too: Javan, Asher (happy), Gideon (powerful warrior), Micah (who resembles God), Silas (forest). There are many more here:
