"My Father Is Joy" / "Puritan" / "The Scornful Lady" / "Graceful One"
2. Which of these names in not related to the name John?
Ian / Jack / Evan / Owen
It's Even or Owen. Guessing randomly, let's say Evan.
3. Which of these Biblical names means "God has heard"?
Joseph / Samuel / Caleb / Daniel
It has to be Samuel because I know it's not the others and I don't have a clue what Samuel means except that it has the -el/God element.
4. Which of these feminine names does not mean "sweet"?
Dulcie / Sadb / Pamela / Honey
Another guess.
5. Which of these masculine Irish names was more popular than the others in USA 2008?
Aidan / Riley / Connor / Patrick
I wish it had been any of the others. *sigh*
6. Which of these is not a common nickname for Charles?

I could be wrong, but I think that's for Christopher.
7. What does the feminine name Deborah mean?
"Poppy" / "Cornflower" / "Bee" / "Helper"

c. James is related to Hamilton but not Hamish
d. No Jane Austen heroes have been named James
9. Which of these feminine names has the meaning "princess"?
Isolde / Sarah / Sabrina / Cassandra
That could be wrong. It could mean "lady" or "queen" or something similar. Haha. It just came to mind first.
10. Which of these names does not have the meaning "gift of God"?

I believe it means "laughter" because in the Old Testament, it says he was named that because Sarah laughed.
I'm sure I'll kick myself over some of these.
