My God is Yahweh, the fiery prophet who rode a chariot to heaven — Elijah challenged the prophets of Baal on Mount Carmel, called fire from the sky, and was taken up to heaven in a whirlwind without dying. His name burns with the absolute devotion of a man who stood alone against an entire kingdom's apostasy and won, armed with nothing but conviction and the fire of the one true God

God is gracious, by way of Jankin, a medieval English pet form of John (from Hebrew Yohanan, 'Yahweh is gracious'). Once a familiar nickname, it long ago outgrew that role to stand on its own and has repeatedly topped boys' name charts across Britain.
