Otto,
I agree with all you wrote and appreciate it very much.
Just one correction: 'Anna' (the mother of Mary) is a catholic indicator.

Typical Lutheran names were - out of Martin of course - Gottfried, 
Gottlieb, Christian ("the christianized"), Gustav (Gustav Adolf, king of 
Sweden) and a lot of old-testamentarian names like Adam, Daniel, Jonas 
and Elias.
