I didn't get Jabez and am quite embarrassed as my grandmother did have a brother called Jabez!

You gave it as a hint...nevertheless, some more flexibility with the type-in would be great. I mean...with e.g. "Philip" already accepted there is little motivation to check for "Phillip", right?

Personally, I like that this quiz requires exact type-ins. And the clue gives you the motivation to try alternates.

I agree with TheLastFish. I find it annoying when quizzes require exact spelling for everything.

I like how you have to try the specific names, like that Nick does not give you Nicholas, like how in some quizzes one name gets you 5 answers. But I kind of sort of agree with Philip/Phillip, that feels more like a different spelling than a completely different name. I guess you have the draw the line somewhere, but yea

I read the caveat, hence I typed 'Phillip' straight after I did 'Philip'.

bottom line: know your biblical characters, go through a bunch of saints, and you will be at least halfway there ;) nice quiz!

Its there in the source at #101. Still surprising isn't it? I'd have thought it would have been in top 20.

I read the caveat and understood it meant that both spellings of Phillip and Philip would be required, but I didn't understand from the caveat that nicknames or shortened versions would be considered separately, such as Tom and Thomas, Sam and Samuel, etc. It would have been helpful if that info had been made more clear to those of us who are a bit dense. It was still a fun quiz, though. Thanks for making it.

Can't believe myself! I guessed Ephraim, Abel, Jeremiah, Enoch, and Isaiah; but I didn't guess Allen, Phillip, Patrick, Michael, Stephen, Benjamin, Alexander, Lewis, or even Henry!

To those concerned about contractions appearing in this quiz: Tom, Fred, Sam, Harry (and other examples, like Frank, Percy, Jack and even Bert) were acceptable names in their own right; they appear on birth certificates and baptismal records of the time as such. I know of at least one branch of my family that had both a Harry and a Henry in the family. Contractions like Mike, Steve and Nick etc., appear to be either more informal (and so were not accepted as baptismal names) or to have developed at a later date.
