[Opinions] Re: Daphne Dinah or Delilah
Looking at there Bible stories, Delilah sold her boyfriend, and Dinah was a rape victim. Wasn't Daphne used as a place name in the Bible? Her story from classical myth is also tragic. Daphne is the best of the trio. Delilah is the worst unless it is for a treacherous cat.What do you think of Damaris or Drusilla? They are women briefly mentioned in the Bible. Deborah (a judge and prophetess) might be dated as a name, but she was an interesting character. Other Biblical girl names you may like: Miriam, Jemima, Huldah, Hadassah, Esther, Lydia, Phoebe, Chloe, Joanna, Susanna.

Esther is the only Big character name I like for girls but I don't like that it is just myrtle tree. I also dislike that it was her babylonian name not her actual name. I would consider Haddasah as a name not sure what middle names I would select we have done family names as middle names. We were going to name my son Chloe if he was a girl but I had a friend name her daughter basically the same name we had picked out a month before he was born fn and mn so we had the dilemma of do we find a new name or not. I don't think we would have changed it but we didn't consider it again for my 2nd. I would still like Chloe but we would need to do a new middle name with it so I'm not sure I would find one I prefer over our original choice. I don't really like Joanna but there is enough family names like Johanne Joanne Anne etc I would maybe consider using it. Maybe more in a middle name place. I do kind of like Zipporah and Jacobed (less so than Zipporah) but I don't think I would realistically use either
Esther meaning star is niceWhat mn did you have decided on previously
Chloe Faye
Not that I couldn't use it again but my daughters middle name is Faye so it would be used for 2 kids.
My great Grandmother was a Stella (star). Her name would be fun as a middle name but I'm not sure I know what would complement it.
Hannah Stella
Haddasah Stella
Anne Stella
Esther Stella would probably be a bit much.
I also like Sophie which was another great grandmother.
Our last name is an S but I don't care as much for girls about the flow because they get married and traditionally change it. My name went really well together with my maiden name not so much after I got married
If you don't care for the sound of Chloe Stella, what about Chloe Estelle?
