~ Non-Biblical “Christian” Baby Names ~

I love baby names! 

It's for sure, one of my favorite things about having a new baby (other than the baby, of course)!

Often people don't desire to use Biblical names, but may still desire to pick a name that is rooted in the blessing of God's providence through history. 

Here are some (generally) non-biblical, yet still, distinctly Christian names... mostly after saints, missionaries, theologians and heroes of our faith!

Enjoy looking up these people and seeing the hand of God in their lives and how they were used in their time for His glory and the good of others!
