What are some cool Biblical names?

in Baby Names
I seem to like some Biblical names.
Some I know are: Jacob, Joseph, Abraham, Levi, Naphtali, Gad, Issachar, Zebulun, Reuben, Simeon, and Asher for boys and Rachel and Leah for girls.
What are some other ones you could see on a person now? Girls AND Boys please!
Not like some of those crazier names like Zebulun and Issachar..

My main stream favorites that I don't think were listed: Benjamin, Samuel, Nathaniel, David, Peter, Philip.
Girls that weren't listed: Anna, Dorcas (also known as Tabitha), Priscilla, Eve. I think that's it that I would recommend.
Caleb is Biblical.
I love Eliora!

Rebekah
Sarah
Rachel
Leah
Eve
Tabitha
Keziah (one of Job's daughters)
Ruth
Miriam
Boys:
David
Silas
Jonah
Noah
Luke
Aaron (my fave on this list)
Micah
(also love how your list basically covers the 12 tribes.)
Also, FWIW, always double check who the person was in the Bible if you're going that route. Delilah is very popular now, but she's not a person you should name your kid after. (Got Samson killed.) Likewise, most people avoid Jezebel.
Caleb, not a name I like aesthetically, but a great namesake: one of only two Israelite scouts who kept the faith and made it into the promised land after the exile/40 years of wandering. (Along with Joshua.)
Everyone on my list, I think, is safe! (Sure, Miriam got some white leprosy for a bit but was generally an amazing, strong woman. Sister of Aaron & Moses.)
Other strong women in the Bible: Deborah, Ruth, Naomi.
I love a lot of the New Testament names, like...
Jude
Lucius
Silas
Thaddeus
Titus
Me too.
Aquila was actually a man - husband of Priscilla. Acts 18:2
DS born at 34 weeks with (surprise!) gastroschisis turned short bowel syndrome.
131 days in the NICU, 7 trips to the OR, G-button, daily TPN....
Good point!
Caleb is biblical... he was one of the spies that went with Joshua into the Promised Land to see what it was like.
I like Ezra, Micah, Zecheriah, Elijah, Eli, Abraham, Solomon, Josiah, Jeremiah, Boaz, Ephraim, Hosea, Ishmael, Moses, Jonah, Enoch, Noah, & Obediah for boys (I like strong names!
For girls I like Ruth, Tirzah, Arielle (The last two were actually names of cities), Elisabeth, Jael, Miriam, Naomi, Phoebe, Sarai, Selah and Zipporah.
