I set a timer for five minutes and tried to list the name of a Biblical person starting with each letter of the English alphabet.
In five minutes, I got 18 out of 26. See how well you do. My answers are after the jump.

NOTE: while doing this, I put “Queen of Sheba” for Q, but I don’t think that should count as a name. Most of my ideas are Old Testament names, because that’s what I’ve been reading lately, which might explain why I didn’t think of easy names like Timothy or Titus. Also, I really, really wanted to put Xerxes but, alas, while it’s a great historical/graphic novel/action movie name, it isn’t in the Bible.
