Catholic girl names?

stefani103

The hubs is Catholic and really wants a Catholic baby name (biblical, saint, etc). For boys, there are so. many. choices. For girls, I'm we're having trouble. There is still plenty of time, but we don't seem to agree on anything, so we need every minute we can get! 

He already has cousins Elizabeth and Madeline, so no on those. Also, no on Grace or Faith.

Other ideas? I like different but not too out there, while he's more traditional. 

I have looked through TB lists, as well as several name sites. 

Help!

Pop onto any Catholic saints website and you'll get a ton. Here's a link.

I would also try and find a saint with a story you like, or look to your H for ideas on what he likes (team effort and all)

ETA: Some of my favorites off the top of my head are Stella, Maria, Barbara, Rita, Catherine, Therese, Teresa, Anne, Bernadette, Frances (I'd use Francesca though), Helen, Irene, Felicity, Rose, Monica, Veronica, and I like the story of St Dymphna though I'd never use it for a girl.

(Some of these were mentioned above, but I'm re-mentioning the ones I think sound the most saint-like)

Mary, or a combo name like Mary Elizabeth, Mary Jane, Mary Catherine, Marianne, etc. You don't get more Catholic than Mary!

Catherine/Katherine

Margaret

Bernadette

Marie/Maria

Josephine

Brigid/Bridget

Patricia

Theresa/Therese
