Nowadays everyone is trying to one-up everyone else with the originality of their baby name choices. Nothing is off limits. You wanna name your kid Basket? There is probably somebody else who named their kid Canasta, which is really just basket in another language. That's cool and all, but there is something to be said for traditional names, don't you think?
Maybe it has to do with growing up Mexican and under the heavy influence of Catholicism, but I have a soft spot for Biblical baby names. Not because I'm religious, just because these are the names I grew up with and I like them, they are beautiful so let's not forget about them.

Now of course there are many, many names in the Bible and I am no Biblical scholar, just ask my mom, but I have some favorites to share with you. Here are thirty beautiful Biblical names for boys and girls that will never go out of style.
I love that so many of them can be pronounced easily in both English and Spanish and I also really tend to prefer the Spanish versions of some of the names. Like Moisés and Noé as opposed to Moses and Noah. My preference could perhaps have something to do with having a cousin named Moisés and a brother named Noé.
