Just out of courtesy (Joao is compiling a lexicon of names and he understandably wanted to take advantage of the fact that we have such a linguistically mixed company on the list). But I agree it's essentially OT, so if anyone else wants to help Joao, it would be preferable to do so off-list as of now.

One question (and I am honestly not meaning to be rude):
Why are we discussing non-IE names (and all their variant spellings)
borrowed into IE languages only after the spread of Christianity? I
thought this was an IE list, not a Biblical names list?
