1. Gabriel—The name of the archangel who appears to the prophet Daniel to explain his visions, Gabriel has seen a huge surge in popularity as a boy's name this century.
2. Gideon—Borne by the famous fifth Judge of Israel in the Old Testament, this name blends deep biblical roots with an appealing, modern sound.
3. Giovanni—John, Italian style.
4. Gad—The name of two biblical figures, rarely used as a baby name in America.
5. Gaddiel—One of the Twelve Spies dispatched by Moses to explore the land of Canaan—and a rare baby name.
6. Gadiel—A variation of Gaddiel.
7. Gaius—For some, this name immediately brings to mind Gaius Julius Caesar, but Gaius was also the name of a couple of early followers of Jesus mentioned in the New Testament.
8. Gamaliel—A scriptural name twice over: the first biblical Gamaliel is a chief of the tribe of Manasseh; the second one is a well-respected rabbi and a former teacher of the apostle Paul.
9. Gershom—A somewhat ponderous name that belongs to several biblical figures, including the firstborn son of Moses and Zipporah as well as the eldest son of Levi.
10. Gershon—Gershon, who is also called Gershom in some biblical books, is one of Levi's sons in the Old Testament. In the baby name world, it is a cool possibility full of unearthed potential.
11. Gilead—First and foremost a biblical place situated east of the Jordan River, but Gilead was also the name of a great-grandson of Joseph through Joseph's son Manasseh.
12. Golan—A biblical town—and a very rare baby name.
13. Gedaliah—Virtually unheard of in the contemporary U.S., the name Gedaliah is shared by several minor characters in the Old Testament.
14. Gomer—Perhaps best known as the promiscuous wife of Hosea the prophet, but the Bible also features a male character called Gomer (Noah's son Japheth had a son named Gomer).
15. Goshen—A biblical place that has lent its name to numerous cities and towns across the U.S.—but not many babies. Take that as a challenge!
