Most of us have met an Isaiah or two in our lifetime, or maybe even a Jeremiah, Esther, Adam, or Ruth. The practice of naming children after Bible figures isn't new and has existed for centuries. In fact, I remember watching the old classic Seven Brides for Seven Brothers growing up, where a set of backwoods parents humorously give all seven of their sons Bible names, alphabetically of course: Adam, Benjamin, Caleb, Daniel, Ephraim, Frank (short for Frankincense), and Gideon.
