Help[Opinions] Re: Some Biblically-Based Female Names
in reply to a message by LillieMae87
Biblical names are my thing, there are so many amazing options!
Adah - Such a lovely name, but I assume it would get pronounced like Ada (AY-dah) here in Australia, not AH-dah as it’s supposed to. Either way, a very pretty name.
Dinah - It’s ok, but it always reminds me of diner, as in somewhere where people in the US go to eat! There are plenty of other female biblical names that are nicer.
Eve - One of my faves! Such a simple, beautiful and understated name. I love the simplicity of this name and it’s definitely a name I’d consider using.
Junia - I like it, though I’m not 100% sure how it’s supposed to be pronounced! I’ve heard different opinions on that and not sure which is right. I do like it though.
Keturah - it’s ok, though not a fave and not as pretty as others.
Keziah - Love it, another fave of mine! Also on my list and just a sweet name. I’ve only ever met one and that made me very happy! She has younger brothers named Judah, Eliezer and Nehemiah, I mean, what a gorgeous set!
Lydia - I like it, but the meaning does nothing for me. It’s a shame the meaning isn’t something more interesting and nice.
Ophira - Not for me, I can easily pass on this one. The sound is unappealing to me.
Penninah - Great meaning, great character, great for a mn.
Sapphira - I like the sound of it, but the biblical character was less than impressive or admirable. It’s a no from me.
Susannah - I don’t love it, I don’t hate it, but I wouldn’t use it.
Zelpha - It’s alright, better for a mn.
Zipporah - I like it, but it’s a complicated looking name and would confuse a lot of people! Better for a mn.
