How to Choose a Biblical Baby Girl Name
Regardless of what type of name you choose, actually settling on one can be really difficult. Your spouse, family, and friends are all throwing their opinions into the mix… which can make the decision even harder.
When we were naming our second daughter, we couldn’t find a name that we LOVED.We ended up deciding on Josie Quinn because we liked the meaning and how it flowed with our oldest, Emmie Kay.

What you don’t know is we spent months creating a “Master List” of our favorite baby girl names. This decision wasn’t as simple aswe like the meaning…. there was a lot of thought… and tough conversations involved in choosing her name.
So here is what we did to choose the perfect name for our daughter:
1. Write Down YOUR Favorite Names
Both you and your spouse should keep lists of your favorite names. Every so often go through the list. Keep the maybes and yeses… get rid of the NOs.
Josie was actually on the maybe list and (eventually) we both ended up loving it!
2. Take Meaning into Consideration
With most Biblical baby girl names, the meaning is really sweet and God-honoring. Although there may be certain meanings that just don’t align with your life… and that’s totally okay!
3. Say the Names Out Loud
Sometimes just hearing a name will give you clarity. This is actually what helped us to choose Josie. We loved the way it sounded, especially with our older daughter’s name! This leads me to my next tip….
4. Think About Sibling Names
Even if this is your first, you may want to consider how this name will sound with sibling names. Truthfully, your kids’ names don’t need to flow… but let’s say you are introducing them… are their names easy to say?
5. Pray About It
God already knows your daughter’s name, isn’t that crazy to think about?! Begin praying and asking God to reveal the name that your daughter should be named.
My Thoughts….
Choosing a unique Biblical baby girl’s name isn’t an easy task. I hope this list gave you some ideas and hopefully will help you to find a name that suits your daughter.
I am SO Excited for you and your spouse….. the journey of parenthood is absolutely precious and I know you are going to enjoy it ❤️
