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.

The baby girl name Nevaeh is heaven spelled backwards. Jessica Alba gave both her daughters the spiritual names Honor and Haven, as did Gwyneth Paltrow who named her son Moses. Many parents of siblings or twins are opting to give all their children spiritual names.
