Name for Jonah's sister...?

[Anonymous]

We're having a tough time coming up with girl names. Any thoughts? As you may guess from my son's name, Jonah, I like names that are classic and fairly simple but not overused.

I think Baby Name Wizard is pretty good at sibling suggestions: http://www.babynamewizard.com/baby-name/boy/jonah. From this list, I like Lydia a lot. You could also try Susanna, or any of its related spellings, which is also from the Old Testament...I also think Helen, Vera and Willa are nice classic names.

to go with a name that ends in a "-nah" sound, I prefer something that ends differently, like

Claire
Elizabeth
Laurel
Lauren
Eve

I love Jonah, and think you've got lots of great suggestions here.

I generally like sibling names to match in terms of popularity and ethnicity, so I'd probably choose another biblical name that isn't either unheard of or very common.

For example:

Susannah
Lydia
Eve or Eva
Naomi
Esther
Miriam

I immediately thought of Elizabeth. I don't think it's overused, especially if you go by the full name, instead of a nickname.

You have lots of good Biblical options: Leah, Sarah, Rebecca, Ruth, Naomi...
