Michal (pronounced Michelle or Michael) Was the name of King David's first wife, and Saul's youngest daughter. Maybe I'm biased, but I like it.

[Hannahbelle94]

My name is Hannah and it is certainly a biblical name, but I would not recommend it because I feel like it will be a tad bit outdated for your child. How about Gracie or Grace? These are cute names and don't seem old ladyish! Also ruthie is cute. Ive also heard of some people naming their daughters Nevaeh because it's heaven backwards. Naomi is an excellent choice as well bc it's biblical but not over used. Hope tho helps!
