Names! I need help, suggestions please!

We are lost this time around and I was hoping to get a bunch of ideas! We like unique names, biblical names, nature names..boy and girl.

Thanks!

Check out Nymbler.com - you can enter the names of your other children and it will suggest similar names.

BabyNameWizard.com is another good one. Click NameFinder and you can set a bunch of parameters for the name you want (beginning letter, number of syllables, boy/girl, traditional/Biblical/Muslim/unusual, popularity, etc.

Ohhh thank you everyone!! We know if this is a girl she will be Zoey but not sure on a middle name. I LOVE the suggestion of "Azalea" so we're tossing around Zoey Azalea. We've always talked about Zoey Jewel, Zoey Rain, Zoey Azra, Zoey Clover...

For a boy we are tossing around Azrock, Azure, Linus...we are pretty set on the middle name being Judea. I LOVE the name suggestion of Azriel!! I'll have to tell my husband about that one!

Ok, just have to jump in here, because that is my name and I have NEVER heard that meaning before. Where did you find it? Mostly I hear rich, wealthy, dark, or "from around the Adriatic Sea". Interesting!

I got it from "Aaron to Zoe"...a name book I have. Both of the name books are in the hospital bag right now, or I'd go look up specifically what it says.

I did a quick google search for [Adrienne black earth] and it came up, so that must be a meaning that's at least somewhat common??

This might be an explanation of the name...sounds like Hadria is the root, and means "black earth":

Adrienne - French feminine form of a Latin place-name (Hadria) meaning "black earth." Variants: Adria, Adrian, Adrien.
