Biblical names survey: Which of these old-fashioned names are in the Bible?
Hello! Would you like to help me out by taking this biblical name survey? Please look at the list of old-fashioned names below. Copy and paste the list into the response box. If you recognize it as being in the Bible, please write "yes" next to it. If you do not think it is in the Bible, then write "no" next to it.
I have grouped the names by initial sound or letter. Some of the groups may have ALL biblical names, some may have NO biblical names, and some may have a mix -- try not to let the groups influence you. Just write "yes" next to the names you think are in the Bible and "no" next to the ones that aren't. Do not look any of these up. I am interested in your first impressions.

Yay! I love these! :) As for my religious background, I'm a Christian... nondenominational if that's important.
Levi -- Definitely, yes.
Luke -- Definitely yes, since it is one of the gospels..
Linus -- No?
Leah -- Definitely, yes
Lucretia -- No?
Lucinda -- No...
Jude -- Definitely, yes. Another book of the Bible...right before Revelations.
James -- Definitely, yes...another book.
Joshua -- Definitely, yes.
Jonathan -- Yes, he was Saul's son, right? David's best friend.
Gaspar -- No
George -- No
Giles -- No?
Anastasia -- No
Abigail -- Yes
Abel -- Yes, like Cain and Abel
Abraham -- Definitely yes. He was the father of all nations...
Drusilla -- No
Deborah -- Definitely, yes. As in the story of Deborah.
Daniel -- Definitely, yes. As in Daniel in the Lion's den.
Felix -- No...Felix that cat...the wonderful, wonderful cat ;)
Francis -- No
Philip -- Definitely, yes.
Paul -- Definitely yes.
Rex -- No?
Reuben -- Definitely yes. He was a son of....David?
Rufus -- No
Clarissa -- No?
Claudia -- No
Cleo -- No?
Carolus -- No?
Cain -- Yes, as in Cain and Abel.
Clarence -- No
Clement -- No
Charles -- No
Benedict -- Haha, um...no?
Benjamin -- Yes
Mark -- Yes...another gospel
Matthias -- Yes
Matthew -- Yes, gospel
Micah -- Yes, book in the old testament...
I love these... I suppose I try to give reasons to make sure that I know they're in there... to try to convince myself. SoI'm probably wrong on some of them (by means of where they're at in the bible...who's son they are, etc).
But I love these. They test my knowledge, which isn't very good anyway... but they're fun and educational. :)

The yes ones I'm 100% sure about...the no ones I'm relatively sure about, but there are a couple that I wouldn't be too shocked to hear I was wrong about.
My religious background: Christian.
*ETA* gah, I'm thinking now I remember a Drusilla. Can I change my vote? haha
You have my second guessing my memory of the Bible with these surveys.
