Default David and Goliath? - 05-01-2008, 06:43 AM

Even though my name is in pink, I do know enough of the Bible to know that (King) David had a fight with Goliath, and defeated him. Is that maybe the reason, that there are a fair amount of kids that are named David, but none (or at least very few) named Goliath? Because, most people have names of people from the Bible i.e Mark, Matthew, John, Peter, Ruth, etc. . But Goliath is mentioned in the Bible as well, albeit not in a good way. Is it just that because the Bible portrayed Goliath as a nere-do-weller, that many parents do not choose to name their child that?

I really don't get that either though, I know some people named Cain, and Cain killed Abel in the Bible. So why does he have more "rep", so to speak, with names, than Goliath?
