What would you think of these Biblical Names? It's for a relative and the last name starts with a D and ends in an -EE Sound.
 
Nathaniel
Tobiah
Tobias
Samson
Cornelius
Omar
Uriah
Cain
Gilead
 
Which ones are your favourites?

Nathaniel - I like this one, my favorite on this list
Tobiah - Not a fan of this one, nor Tobias. But, growing up the only Toby's I knew were girls. As an adult I met a man named Toby who was a complete jerk. 
Tobias - So, I'm a bit skewed on this name.
Samson - My second choice on this list.
Cornelius - Not terrible, just not my style. 
Omar - Again, not my style.
Uriah - Another one that is not my style.
Cain - While Biblical, I just can't get over the fact that Cain was the first person to commit murder. The sound of the name is ok, though.
Gilead - The more I say this one, the more it is growing on me. Plus, I like the nickname possibility of Gil. I would put it at number 3 from this list.
 
Other Biblical names you may like...
 
Abel
Asher
Boaz
Ezekiel
Ezra
Gabriel
Gideon
Lemuel
Levi
Obadiah - nickname Obie
Reuben
Silas
Simon
Solomon
Thaddeus - nickname Thad
 
Best wishes!

My favorite on your list is Nathaniel. Other biblical names for boys not on your list but some of my favorites that you may like also are, Asher, Solomon, Levi, Abel, and Ezekiel. My least favorite on your list is Cain just because of the connection to that name, being that he was the first murderer.

I also like Nathaniel best and Cain least (do to association). Other names I would suggest (I realize some are repeats):
Asher
Jude/Judah
Levi
Hezekiah "Kai"

My favorite name of the ones listed is Tobias. I love the nickname Toby. But of all the biblical names I love the name Abel. It has grown on me a lot over the years and if we were expecting a boy that would be in my top 3.
