Answer 1

try the bible.

there are so many "begats" in it you are sure to fnd a name that has not been heard

Answer 2

Here is a website you might try. You have to log in to use it, but they have so many names from so many cultures, you are sure to find one that is interesting.

Kabalarian Philosophy Baby Names:
http://babynames.kabalarians.com/
[The Kabalarian philosophy is a sort of New Age interpretation of the Kabbalah, which is an old world mystical Jewish tradition. If any of that strikes you as inappropriate for you, feel free to ignore this part of my suggestion.]

Another idea, from a more mainstream source, is this list of baby names from a Catholic group called Acta Publications:
http://www.actapublications.com/names.html

This list is a lot more limited than the Kabalarian one, being Western/European in orientation. Lots of good names on it, though.

As for whether a particular name has any sort of "demonic" connotations, you can research that in the Bible, or ask your pastor or spiritual advisor to help you figure it out.

Remember that how a person's name sounds matters to others, and that having an unusual name can at times be an obstacle to success. So even if a name is associated with positive spirituality based solely on its ancient meaning or Biblical usage, more recent usage in pop culture might make it sound sinister. (Damian, for example, will remind people of the movie "The Omen" even though it is not traditionally the name of an evil character. That has not, however, stopped it from becoming one of the top 200 boys' names in the US in recent years!)

Ultimately, your baby's name should be one that resonates with you personally, one that you will enjoy saying over and over again, and one that suits your baby's spirit. You could choose a couple of different options, then pick the right name when you see the baby for the first time.

This website has lists of popular names in various English-speaking countries, and also lets you search for a name based on meaning:

If you want to read up on the process in some more detail rather than just looking up lists of baby names, this is a fun site that discusses it at great length:

Best of luck with everything, and blessings to you and your baby.

Answer 3

Well I'd rule out "Damian" or "Agarth". I don't know. There must all-Christian web sites for names. Or you could be original and just make one up. Just please don't go for one of those OT ones. Obadiah. No,don't,don't do that to a baby.

Answer 4

BABYNAMES.COM or you might try the BIBLE....ALOT of good names there
