Because the irony of atheists having Biblical names makes me laugh.
But if you do, you might as well tally up your score:
The Crazy Bible Name for Your Kid Score Sheet
1. You give your kid a name that doesn’t sound Biblical except for a slight letter difference that only Christians would notice, e.g. “Rebekah” with a k. = +1 point
2. Major prophets. = +1 point
3. Minor prophets.= +3 points
…
12. Their name can easily be turned into a brutal nickname. Zechariah for instance would become “Diarrhea” on the playground in about 2.4 seconds. = +2 points
13. You find a way to name your kid after the Bible and the movie Star Wars. Obadiah for instance. If you name your kid that but call him Obi, well done. = +10 points
“Hemant” gets no points. I lose. (Unless someone can find my name in the Bible, in which case, bonus points for you.)
On a side note, I heard that a guy I went to high school with had a son a couple years ago. He named it “Seyton.”
