Genesis
Noah (Noak)

Judah (Juda)
Joseph (Josef)
Benjamin

It's interesting to see which ones you listed under 1 and 2, because it wouldn't be the same in Sweden. I wouldn't have Gad, Asher (Aser) and Terah in 1, but I would include Ephraim, and maybe some others as well. And I love that you're doing this, obscure bible names are interesting. :)

There was a little girl in my sons pre-K class named Genesis and it made me really like it as a given name. It's funny how some things are easy to warm up to when you see them in use... Alot of these names are ones I like/love. I'm a real sucker for biblical names though.

I agree. Sometimes even a name you don't like can become one you do when you see it on someone that you like! :) And me too. I love looking through the Bible for names, just because they are so cool! :)
