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'.

The source you listed had different spellings for names number 78 and 98.

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

I was surprised to find that there were more Ephraims and Amoses than there were Pauls!

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!

Thank you and I understand, but this is not my decision - it is the decision of the site owner.
