What do you think of these names that either came after the holiday, or belong to a character in the Biblical account, or have some other connection?

If you have any more names to add, feel free!

In particular, I like:

James
Jude
Thaddeus- So bookish! And I love that it means "heart."

I like Thomas and Thaddeus a lot.

For a girl, I'd add Hosanna. A guilty pleasure of mine. :)
