I don't think it's necessarily strange or ridiculous. A lot of people don't seem to do any research on the names they choose, so they have no idea these more popular names are even from the Bible.

I'm atheist and I actually like a lot of less popular Biblical names. I personally wouldn't use them because they're not really my style, but I could see someone else just liking a name enough to use it, or seeing it used somewhere else and therefore not associating it with the Bible, like Ebenezer used in honor of A Christmas Carol.
