Sarah is of course a biblical name, and I really like the unconventional traditional spelling of Sarai. Here are some female bible names of women with admirable character that I really like:
Abigail (wife of Nabal and King David), Anna, Deborah, Elisabeth, Euodias, Joanna, Lydia, Milcah, and Phebe. Milcah is totally unusual, but I really dig the name, and she was like an early women’s rights advocate: she was the one who made it so women could inherit property and land in hebrew times.

Here is the best biblical name:
Boy: Caleb
Caleb, son of Jephunneh, is an important figure in the Hebrew Bible, noted for his faith in God when the Hebrews refused to enter the "promised land" of Canaan. When the Hebrews came to the outskirts of Canaan, the land that had been promised them by God, after having fled slavery in Egypt, Moses (the Hebrew leader) sent twelve messengers, scouts (or spies, meraglim in Hebrew) into Canaan to report on what was there—one spy representing each of the twelve (landed) tribes. Ten of the scouts returned to say that the land would be impossible to claim, and that giants lived there who would crush the Hebrew army. Only two, Joshua (from the tribe of Ephraim) and Caleb (representing Judah), returned and said that God would be able to deliver Canaan into the hands of the Hebrew nation.
Boy: Asher
Girl: Asha or Ashla
Means "happy" or "blessed" in Hebrew
Girl: Beulah
Means "married" in Hebrew
Boy: Ethan
Means "solid, enduring" in Hebrew
