Spiritual baby names
Another idea when searching for a biblical baby name is to consider a spiritual or a virtue baby name that describes a characteristic you hope your child will have. For girls, some great names include Faith, Hope, Grace, Mercy, Trinity or Charity. There aren’t quite as many options for boys with virtue names, however the names Justice or Chance are both great options.
