in reply to a message by Malin
Well, I guess there are worse biblical names, he could have been Zerubbabel, Methuselah, Bakbuk or Harhor...

Or Habakkuk. I wonder if that would have been allowed?
You mean because it includes a dirty word? ;)
At least there are no Habbakkuks in Sweden according to SCB (Statistic Sweden).
There are 69 Melchiors in Sweden, including two women, but they only have it as their middle name. Of the 67 male Melchior, only 9 use it as their first name.
There are 3 Melkisedek, but only one person who use it as his first name.
No Polyhymnia.
One guy called Metusalem (the Swedish version of Methuselah), but it's just a middle name.

I see that that one Metusalem has a very short and common first name. Good for him. And unsurprisingly, he's from the "Bible Belt" area. ;)
