Just came upon a Bible Baby Names book, and decided I'd check it out. Here are some names that although I may not (and probably won't) use, I like/intrigue me. Comments? Any you somewhat like/are interested in/might use? Any you'd like to add? And note that some names may have "evil" Biblical meanings. Not meaning to offend! Also, I'm trying not to put to many over-used ones on the list.
