This Or That? Biblical Girl Names...?

Just a 'This or That' game. Similar to the one I held the other day (with a Shakespearean theme) but this time I'm using Biblical names instead. Please don't say neither or both - choose the one that you prefer more, or find bearable.

Abigail OR Adah

Adina OR Anna

Bethany OR Bernice

Chloe OR Claudia

Delilah OR Dinah

Eden OR Esther

Elizabeth OR Eve

Hagar OR Hannah

Joanna OR Julia

Leah OR Lydia

Mary OR Magdalene

Myra OR Martha

Naomi OR Neriah

Phoebe OR Priscilla

Rachel OR Rebekah

Rhoda OR Ruth

Sarah OR Susannah

Zilpah OR Zipporah

-- BQ: Using names you've chosen from the list above (first and middle) what would you name a set of triplet girls? --

    Favorite Answer

    Adah -- I've never been too fond of Abigail. I know far too many for me to find the name even a little bit appealing. It's not terrible though, and I can certainly see the appeal. Adah is beautiful.

    Anna -- Adina's interesting sounding, but I'll aways have a soft spot for the name Anna. It's truly lovely, and can be appreciated for its simplicity.

    Bethany -- I really dislike the name Bernice. It sounds so dated and stuffy. The nickname Bern isn't too appealing, either. Bethany is beautiful.

    Claudia -- Chloe is far too popular for me to like. Claudia is nice and underused. Not a favorite, but I still prefer it over Chloe by a lot.

    Delilah -- Both of these are wonderful. Delilah has been a favorite of mine forever though, so I chose that one. I like Dinah for its uncommonness, though.

    Esther -- Most people don't like the name Esther because they think it's too old fashioned, or they can only imagine it on a grandmother, but I quite like it. I can actually imagine it on a little girl. Eden, I prefer on a boy.

    Eve -- Eve is so innocent and soft, it's absolutely beautiful. I have trouble coming up with middle names for it, however. Elizabeth is quite nice, but far too common. I go to school with a bunch of Elizabeths / Ellies.

    Hannah -- Not too big on either of these (and it surprises me that I love Anna but dislike Hannah), but Hannah is definitely the one I favor. Hagar doesn't have an attractive sound to it.

    Joanna -- Really sweet sounding. Julia is nice too, but it's not as lovely as Joanna.

    Leah -- Love love love Leah. I used to not like it because it was so popular, but it actually died down in popularity where I live so I decided to add it to my name list. Lydia's wonderful, too.

    Mary -- Mary is *such* a gorgeous name. I'd be ecstatic to see it on a little girl. I didn't choose the name Magdalene because that's my name, but I do like that name as well (trying not to be biased).

    Myra -- Beautiful. I'd add it to my name list, but I already have Maya on there and I'm afraid the two names are too similar. Martha's nice, but not a favorite.

    Naomi -- I do have a soft spot for this name because it's my best friend's name, and I love her to death. I'm actually not sure if I'd like it if it weren't for her, but since I do know her, I love it. Neriah doesn't appeal to me.

    Phoebe -- Phoebe's such a cute name. Might be a little *too* cutesy for my liking, but it's better than Priscilla which I dislike a lot.

    Rachel -- I'm never been able to bring myself to like Rebekah / Rebecca because I knew a not so great girl with the name. Rachel on the other hand, is a nice name. It's familiar and simple without being exceedingly popular (where I live, anyway).

    Ruth -- Both of these names are great in my opinion, but Ruth won by a little bit. I have it on my name list as a middle name. Rhoda is one of my guilty pleasures because I thought it sounded too much like Yoda, haha!

    Susannah -- I prefer it spelled Susanna, without the 'h' at the end, but both are really nice. Sarah is way too popular for my taste. I know at least ten.

    Zipporah -- These are both really...interesting. Can't say I'm too fond of either, but Zipporah is the one I can tolerate the most.
