After taking the quizzie here, I too got Mary Magdalene. But it's a very generalized quiz, and it doesn't really do me justice.
Whereas my Hebrew name descriptives does come closer to who I am as a person.
Like bona dea below, I have a sister named Merrie, (long ago deceased,) but no relative named Magdalene I'm aware of.
And being Hebrew through my mum's side of the family, the biblical names on the Jewish side that go back a long ways, are sprinkled with OT names here and there like Abraham, Moses, Isaac, Sarah, Rivkah (for Rebecca,) etc.

According to that survey, I got Abigail! I like that name.
Eunice was a really tough one to allow to roll off my tongue. I had to do a lot of research to come to terms with it. In the process, I learned that I had relatives with the name Eunice, and they were pretty cool. So, I learned to tolerate the name.
Then, as I realized the fraud of Mormonism, I kind of lamented that my 'spiritual' name was so 'assigned' and non-original. Yet, I was relieved to realize that I wouldn't be standing, waiting for my husband to remember the name he'd long ago forgotten! And, I didn't have to worry that some abusive 'worthy' man had inherited me after all was said and done.
