But maybe you're thinking more of what names wouldn't be as common. I think that's a trickier question. Names that I think of as Christian may have origins in Hebrew, Greek, or Latin, and those influences may have spread to Europe and Britain even without Christianity.

And last of all an Admiral came,
A terrible man with a terrible name,—
A name which you all know by sight very well;
But which no one can speak, and no one can spell.
