I'm quite sure this has been asked before, but isn't Jacob considered a biblical name as well? It only comes up as English, Dutch, and Scandinavian.

.....just wondering. Since, that is what Israel was originally called.

Wow, I didn't realize I had missed that. Yes, Jacob should definitely be marked as Biblical, but it won't be fixed until I do my next update.
