Who's got a religious name?

I hadn't really thought about this until another post brought it to light.
My first name is Ian, Scottish for John who wrote a gospel and is also a saint
My second name is Patrick, patron saint of Ireland.
My third name is Declan, another Irish saint
And my surname starts with GOD

Any advances? 🙂

I also have names of Gaelic orgination. My middle name is also conflated with John. It is not John, Nor does its meaning coincide with the meaning in Aramaic of John. Check your head, you have been conned by the Angles again. Take it for what you will. My cognomen is the anglish bastardization of the title of the last king of Erie, 3rd century CE. Fuck the anglish and their bloody jesus.

Both my middle and first names are from the bible. I actually never really think about it.

Not my name, nor either of my siblings, derive from the bible; but, oddly enough, my father's name, Eber, did. His parents were Adventists, so...

Also my Dad was born in 1925. His first name was Joseph. Every boys first name was Joseph. The only place he was known as Joe was in the military. He actually went by his third name with two initials in front of it. "Rodolphe". I think his Mum might have liked Valentino?

When I had my girls I was looking for strong classic names, and not named after any immediate family members. Apparently several of my cousins had the same idea because some of the cousins used the same names about that time as well. I have Sarah, Michelle, Rebecca; which are all really biblical. My name is Paula, so feminized of the Apostle Paul, the miscogynist of the century. However I was a shortened version of Pauline, or Paulina who were my grandmother and great aunt.

I've always wanted three daughters so I could call them Rebekah (because I love the name), Athene and Artemis.

@Jnei I wanted to go with that spelling of Rebekah but ex thought it was too weird. But I got my way in that she is called Becca.

My full birth name means "Defender of men from the royal field" and is NOT from the Bible 🙂

Level 9

My Mom always said she pulled "Adele" from the Bible. I don't know where in the Bible? lol

Adele looks quite Hebrew, but apparently it comes from the German Adel meaning "noble" 🙂

@Jnei I know I dated a guy whose Mom was German - she said it was the same as naming your kid "Jesus" in German?

@RavenCT Not sure why. I thought maybe Adelheid (the name from which Adele comes, via Adel) was a Germanic goddess or something, but it seems not. Heidi is short for Adelheid too, incidently, so you can use that name too!

@Jnei Oh nope! Nope nope.... rofl

@RavenCT Adele and Adelheid are good names. Heidi's nice for a girl, but to me it doesn't sound right for an adult.

@Jnei I'm very very French. Heidi does not do it for me. lol

I'm Matthew. First of the 4 gospels in the NT. It doesn't really inform anyone of much about me. Probably says something about my parents. Or my mother in particular. I've never been a huge fan of it. I'm not a big fan of the gospel or saint names.

My middle name is James
My son has two biblicl christian names, but was named after my great grand father.

My name is Joseph, which is Hebrew for "God will increase". I like the sound of the name, and do my best not to think about its meaning. Most of the time, I manage.
