Re: Why are so many biblical names rarely used in continental Europe, unlike English-speaking countries?
in reply to a message by WilhelmReichelt
I am European and there is plenty of biblical name usage here? At least my country. Even more in past. I do not think we have all same as English countries but we still use. We used even more before 1917, after Russian Revolution when my country became Soviet and a lot of name of saints were then not normal as first name, they were like old man name. But there is plenty of biblical name usage here. Now in very long time ago we did not use these, but that is because it was before Christianisation of Rus.
