Guessing Games (Clue 4)

I'm hoping the bambino comes soon, because I'm running out of clues for this name game! My apologies for yesterday's clue. It was a bit cruel and unhelpful, considering many of the Old Testament characters are mentioned in the New Testament. (For you budding Bible scholars out there, Hebrews 11 is just one of many examples in the New Testament where a whole load of names from the Old Testament appear... ...by the way, that's not another clue... ...or is it? Hehehe! I'm certainly not helping you out much, am I?!)

Clue Number One: It's a Hebrew-based name from the Bible.
Clue Number Two: It's a name from the Bible, but it's NOT a name of one of the books of the Bible.
Clue Number Three: The name appears in both the New and Old Testament.
Clue Number Four: The name was ranked in the top 200 names in both Canada and the USA during 2005.

[Note to Claire: Jesus is a Hebrew-based name from the Bible and does technically appear in both the old and new testament. AND it did rank in the top 200 names in Canada and the USA, but according to Wikipedia, Y'shua, Yeshua, Yehoshua, Jesus and Joshua, are pretty much adaptations of the same name. So, since Joshua is a name of one of the books of the Bible, it would fail clue number two! In other words, it's not Joshua, Yeshua, Y'shua, Yehoshua or Jesus! Good googling though! Hehe! We always were competetive eh? Keep trying!]
