What's in a name?

My brother recently posted about his favorite names. I was thinking about how biblical names are often so popular. Eli, Micah, Jonathan. Samuel, David, Jacob. My reading in 2 Samuel prompted me to add some to the pool: Eleazar, Dodo, Ahohi, Shammah, Agee, Josheb-basshebeth, Zeruiah, Abiezer, Mebunnai, Zalmon, Maharai, Heleb, Baanah and Ittai. I wonder why those aren't sweeping the nation?
I especially like Ahohi. Sort of rolls off the tongue... or the back of the throat.

Here's a chuckle in honor of Hallmark Goosh Day.

"Ahohi" with a short "a" sounds rather...obscene. Hopefully, no one called him "Aho" as a nick-name.

Dodo??!! How could you keep a straight face while talking to a Dodo?

"Dodo, would you be able to go over those reports with me this afternoon?" I know I couldn't do it.
