HelpRe: Atheists giving their kids Biblical names
in reply to a message by Laslow
I don't think it's ridiculous for a couple of reasons. Most of Europe was controlled by the Church for hundreds of years, so Christian names are deeply embedded in the culture of those countries and, deplorable as their colonial pasts are, the names given in their former colonies.
Secondly, although a poster below has suggested that 'biblical' names are only known to us through the Bible, that simply isn't true for many of them. They are also preserved in Roman, Greek, Persian and Egyptian literature to mention a few.
