Noami, Ruth, Joanna, Eve, Mary, Rebecca, Sarah, Hannah, Deliah, Ester, Leah.

Unfortunately, boys names outnumber girl's considerably inthe Bible. If you do to www.babynames.com and search for name meanings with the word "God" you will find many Hebrew names not in the Bible but with spiritual meanings such as Liana (my God has answered) and Jessica (God Beholds).

I like the name Deborah. She was a great person in the bible. But I do suggest that you look up the name your planning on naming your child in the bible and the backgrounds of these characters before you go naming them just anything you think sounds nice. Because delilah in the bible was not such a good lay (you should read about her).
