baby names for a girl. Not odd as in weird, but maybe ones that I've never heard of that are very old. Dh found a boys name that is Hebrew that we're both tickled with and we're looking for a girl equivalent. The boys name is Adoniram.

Thought maybe someone hear would have some ideas.

Thanks,

Lisa

My sister's name is Dara, from the Bible (although not many people know that). It's not an unheard of name, but it's definitely unique. Just a thought! :)

Although Shoshannah is occasionally used, it is not too popular. I think it is beautiful.

I found some hebrew names on the web. Just typed in "Hebrew names" in my search engine and it pulled up a couple of web sites. May give you some ideas.
