This has quite often been the case. Let's call the Bible a "fad" ... why not
... many names are Biblical in origin. Even Jesus comes up as a name ... ("Hey mom, if Jesus was jewish, how come he had a Mexican name?") ... Nationla heroes/heroines ... great leaders ... and why is it that suicide bombers are usually called Mohamed??????? Some names are invented by authors ... "Pamela", for example, was created by Sir Phillip Sydney for "The Countess of Pembroke's Arcadia" ... And the name really took off in popularity after the publication of Richardson's "Pamela". And now we have kids named after skanks who spend half their lives in rehab ... go figure, eh.
Still feel sorry for my buddy Jack Hoff tho ...
His mom was either naive or malacious ... probably the former.
