Help[Opinions] Biblical.
Just came upon a Bible Baby Names book, and decided I'd check it out. Here are some names that although I may not (and probably won't) use, I like/intrigue me. Comments? Any you somewhat like/are interested in/might use? Any you'd like to add? And note that some names may have "evil" Biblical meanings. Not meaning to offend! Also, I'm trying not to put to many over-used ones on the list.

Barak (Hebrew, "lightning") is more like Barack than Baruch (bah-RUK), which I like alot - the name of the prophet Jeremiah's scribe. Yael is very popular in Israel right now - and another Biblical girl's name that isn't in your list is Merav, also gaining ground. Ditto Moriah.

I love Biblical names for boys but not so much for girls.
I love Asher, August, Elijah, James, Levi, Noah, Phillip, Seth and Delilah.
I would add though Samuel, Alexander, Ezekiel, Jedidiah, Malachi, Michael, Nathanael, Thomas, Tobiah, Zechariah, Chloe, Elisabeth, Shiloh and Sarah as other Biblical favourites. And I can assure you some of my kids will be getting these names!!
