Yeah, the Jehovites, all versions, claimed names like... Well, if it's in the bible...
Mark, Luke, Paul, David, Solomon, Issaah, Mary, Ruth, Ester... You get the idea.
Old Testament=Jewish
New Testament=Christian, or just a "biblical name". Of course a Christian might chose a name from the Old Testament, and rather than saying "I picked a Jewish name", S/he would just say "I picked a 'biblical name' ".

There is power in names, and naming. And as Jehovah and his posse are all about grabbing as much power as they can...

But, hey I'm not bitter. lol :D

To me, they are just names though. To be honest it strikes me as a little weird to say they are [insert religion] names because they happen to be in the scriptures.
I assume Levi comes from Leviticus or something ?
