It's not "biblical," like Matt, Mark, Luke, or John, but there is a pretty cool dude in the OT named that.
2 Samuel 23:14 At that time David was in the stronghold, and the Philistine garrison was at Bethlehem. 15 David longed for water and said, "Oh, that someone would get me a drink of water from the well near the gate of Bethlehem!" 16 So the three mighty men broke through the Philistine lines, drew water from the well near the gate of Bethlehem and carried it back to David. But he refused to drink it; instead, he poured it out before the LORD. 17 "Far be it from me, O LORD, to do this!" he said. "Is it not the blood of men who went at the risk of their lives?" And David would not drink it. Such were the exploits of the three mighty men. (...) 20 Benaiah son of Jehoiada was a valiant fighter from Kabzeel, who performed great exploits. He struck down two of Moab's best men. He also went down into a pit on a snowy day and killed a lion. 21 And he struck down a huge Egyptian. Although the Egyptian had a spear in his hand, Benaiah went against him with a club. He snatched the spear from the Egyptian's hand and killed him with his own spear. 22 Such were the exploits of Benaiah son of Jehoiada; he too was as famous as the three mighty men.
Okay, let me give it a shot, although I usually have problems even naming RPG characters properly...
Calhenheri (short maybe Cal)
Feanor (can't go wrong with LOTR)
Erekose (no, not a girl's name, but I guess it doesn't sound that good in english, try it the german way... E (as in <u>E</u>ric) - re (as in <u>re</u>ssurection) and the ending like the mexican Hozeee or whatever that name is.

"Scissors cut paper! I win! His name's gonna be Optimus!"
well if the guy ends up not liking his first name, be sure to give him a good backup of a middle name. Though in my family it is traditional that the first born son get the first name of the father as a middle name and the first born daughter the first name of the mother as a middle name.
That said, I know a guy who's first name is Ashlie, didn't know that till I had to look him up though, he goes by his middle name of Banjamin.
