I'm orthodox jewish. as an Israeli, I would only pick names in Hebrew, Aramaic, Ladino or Yiddish and specifically more traditional jewish names (nor necessarily biblical). If I was a diaspora jew, I would give my kids two sets of names, one jewish and one in the local language, as is custom in many jewish communities since the middle ages.
and still, I wouldn't use names that distinctively belong to other religions (Ahmad, Christopher, Chandra), because they don't represent what I stand for or what I'd want my kids to stand for.
