Although the Roman (non-Christian) emperor Augustus is mentioned in the Bible, I would not consider the name as a "biblical name" but as one with historical connotations.

Many German (or rather Germanic) names, on the other hand, refer to Germanic mythology and gods.

•I'm an atheist. Therefore I'd like to give my future kids non-Christian and non-Biblical names. (nt) · Lucille · 8/2/2003, 4:04 PM

•Well then, you'd better steer clear of most Hindu names, too. As well as some lovely names from Classical Greek & Roman legend -- many of which have some association with god(s), ya know. ;) nt · Nanaea · 8/2/2003, 5:20 PM

•:-P I'll use Germanic names, the names of my ancestors (my family is originally from Germany). :-P (nt) · Lucille · 8/2/2003, 6:06 PM

•There are a whoooole lot of German saints' names you'll have to weed out then, not to mention names derived from the Teutonic pantheon... (more) · Nanaea · 8/2/2003, 6:29 PM
