There are some names Christians don't bear because of their stories and d kind of lives they lived from the Bible, so they don't want a replica of what happened to them in their own lives. E.g Jonah, Jabesh, Judas, Job etc

Job is not a Christian name. Job was not a Christian. Not even an Israelite but a man from the east who feared God.

My grand father's name was Jonah, he did well as a Christian till his death.even the church honored him by burying him in the church grave yard instead of our compound. He served the church till his death.

Job and Jonah ar common names among the Northern Christians,I also have a cousin bearing Jonah too.
Infact,in Kaduna State there are a lot of Biblical uncommon names that the Southern Kaduna Christians bear e.g Kish,Hephzibah,Namah,Sheeba,Haggai and so,I have seen a man that name all his son chronologically with name of the old testament from Genesis, Leviticus Deuteronomy and Judges here in Sabo Ungwa Boro.
