Cool Biblical names needed

[Whizbang Dustyboots]

I'm fleshing out the past barons/baronesses of my Midwood setting and need names. The present baron is named Nicodemus and the founding knight-turned-baron was Gideon. I'd love to continue the Old Testament naming scheme. Hit me with some cool Biblical names, especially ones with evocative stories that go with the names. I need at least seven names.

Thanks.

Check out behindthename.com

They've got a ton of names grouped by language, type (literature, myth, etc.) and it includes a great deal of biblical names.

Here's the link to the biblical section.

The BBEG IMC is called 'Elymas' meaning "a magician, a corruptor".

Here's a complete list of names from Mormon Scripture, in case you find this to be of any use. I think the author(s) of the Book of Mormon (whoever that may be depending on your religious beliefs) had quite a flair for cool-sounding names:

Do you have meanings or stories you want to attach a name to? I know Hebrew, so can whip up some appropriate names for you if you give me something to work on.

As it is, here are 10 names off the cusp:

Kolshadai - loosely "the voice of god", the name of an Epic bard/cleric of mine, heavy into prosletyzing and followed around by a cadre of some 127,000 fanatic followers.

Barak - meaning "lightning". The name of my giant-blooded druid of Talos (god of storms, and storm giant blood).

Refaim - meaning "ghosts" or "spirits", but also "giant" in Biblical times. Rafa singular.

Tzelpahad - "shadow of fear", a descendant of Menashe.

Naval - "villain"

Aviyahu - "the father of god", stangely enough a Biblical name.

Hillelbenshachar - "praised, son of dawn", aka Lucifer, the Morningstar, the Devil.

Adon Rasha - "evil lord"

Avera - "anger", especially divine wrath

Paritz - "tyrant", especially a dictator or despit bad to Jews

JAIR

Gender: Masculine

Usage: Biblical

Other Scripts: יָאִיר (Hebrew)

Pronounced: JAY-ur [key]
Means "he shines" in Hebrew. In the Old Testament this is the name of both a son of Manasseh and one of the judges of the Israelites.

Heh. Pronounced ya-EER, actually. More accurately means "he who will shine";"he [who] shines" is ME-eer (Meir?), another fairly common name.
