How can such a law-breaking, poaching family end up with so many bible names?

Delilah,
Samson,
Shadrach
Cain,
Zachariah (Zak)
Solomon

Perhaps it's meant to be ironic?

They've got an Elvis too.

Is Elvis a biblical name? I know Mr Presley was born in Mississippi which is in the Bible belt, so maybe it is.

Any biblical scholars on here who can say yay or nay?

Sorry I seem to have put the wrong link up for the first Dingle family tree, as when I click it, the murder site keeps coming up.

Try here.

I think it is meant to be ironic that most of the Dingles have biblical names...after all, they aren't law abiding citizens.

What about the women though? Their names don't seem to be that biblicle!

Tina?
Lisa? (I know she was married in but she's still a Dingle)
Marilyn?
Nellie (Is that biblicle?)
Amanda (Mandy)

But then there is some...
Faith
Delilah

Regarding Faith, we know of Charity, is there a Hope too? I think there might be.

Lisa and Nellie are not Dingles by birth, although I am surprised there wasn't some Dingle law that made them change their name.
