Like what are some pagan names?

My understanding of a "Christian name" would be a name found in the Bible, especially the new testament. I would then think a pagan name would be one found in paganism, such as the names of gods and goddesses.

Sherry is a pagan name. Its the Anglicization of "Shiraz"which was a city founded by Darius I in 518 B.C.
Some baby name web sites claim that its from the French "cherie", but Sherry wine is still labeled "Shiraz" by many vintners.

Avery- an ancient form of Fredrick. It means Elfin Ruler or High Councilman.
I would think that any of the names of Ancient Gods & Goddess' would be considered "Pagan".

Uther Pendragon has the ring of old magic to it (or even just dragon but less so). Beowulf is another. If you get a slight shiver when you read it, then its really pagan.

Christian names are the given first names of people. I think you might be confused. Unless of course you are thinking of people of the bible that change their name as God calls them by a different one.

The Church doesn´t use the term "pagan", since Pope John XVIII. It was used by many as a nonspecific term for secularism.
