Names you can't name your kids

I kid you not, a cousin of mine named her kids Jayden and Jaelin. I wanted to slap her, but I had to get in line behind a doctor, a nun, a stewardess, a boxer, a woman with a revolver...
 
I forget who made the joke, but our use of Biblical names is rather arbitrary.

Michael is quite popular. Noah was as well. But why aren't there more Methuselah's?
 
Or Hepzibah. Who would want their little girl named that?

I knew a Hezekiah. There's a Biblical name you hardly see.
