I'm an atheist. Therefore I'd like to give my future kids non-Christian and non-Biblical names. (nt)

Well then, you'd better steer clear of most Hindu names, too. As well as some lovely names from Classical Greek & Roman legend -- many of which have some association with god(s), ya know. ;)

:-P I'll use Germanic names, the names of my ancestors (my family is originally from Germany). :-P

There are a whoooole lot of German saints' names you'll have to weed out then, not to mention names derived from the Teutonic pantheon...Such a shame, that your rigidly-imposed criteria will limit a world of possibilities which would otherwise be open to you.It's not too unlike what fundamentalist religious folk tend to do to themselves. ;)-- Nanaea
