Hi!! DH and I are really struggling with a baby girl name. We have two boys, Noah and Isaac. Having a Biblical name is really important to me. I like Esther but DH thinks it is too old ladyish. I think Essie is a cute nn. I would love some honest opinions!!!

Esther reminds me of the creepy girl in Orphan but I don't know how many people have seen that movie.
Other Biblical names:
Elizabeth
Mary
Josephine
Dorthea
Tabitha
Delilah
Lilith
Jezebel
Nameberry and Behindthename both have a huge list of Biblical girl names if you want to look at those.

I love the name Esther, personally. It's a favourite of mine. Yes, it might sound a little old ladyish, but I also think it's kind of coming back too.

Abigail
Anna
Bethany
Deborah
Delilah
Eden
Edith
Elizabeth
Eve
Grace
Hannah
Hope
Joanna
Jordan
Josephine
Joy
Judith
Leah
Lydia
Martha
Mary
Miriam
Naomi
Phoebe
Rachel
Rebecca
Ruth
Sarah
Sharon
Susannah
Abigail
Anna
Bethany
Deborah
Delilah
