Help[Opinions] Until very, very recently
in reply to a message by Cora
60 years ago, actually Catholics were not encouraged to read the bible, and Saints played a very large role in worship. On top of this some Churches did not let parents use names unless they were the name of a Saint or relative. This lead to Catholics using names that are significantly different from Protestants.
For years my favorite name was Katherine. I told my brother this and he stated "That's too Catholic of a name." I've honestly seen this division between my family and X's. My family does not like names like Magdalene, Theresa, Catherine, Judith, etc and his family doesn't really like names like Abel, Josiah, Naomi, Miriam, etc. My family, on the other hand, does.
