I am looking for a Biblical or hebrew baby name for a girl. I would love any and all suggestions, but I usually don't like names that are trendy or on the top 100 lists. I've already been on a bunch of baby name websites and just haven't found the right name yet.
My other daughter's name is Shoshannah, so something along those lines.
Thanks!

I am seriously considering using Hallel as a first or middle name. It goes along with Shoshannah since both are used in conjuntion with Psalms. Shoshannim (Lilly) is the title of a few psalms, Hallel (Praise) is a group of palms recited together as a prayer of joy and thanksgiving. Please give me your opinion of this. If you already answered the first part of my question, please edit your answer to include your opinion of using Hallel. Thank you to all that have answered so far. I appreciate it very much.

My name is Sara- Hebrew for "little princess". My mom didn't add the "h", though. Also, Ruth and Rebecca are biblical.

The most beautiful Hebrew name I've ever heard was "Ahava" (say it. It's as beautiful as a hymnal). It means "name of a river, love".
