I doubt that Pope Francis has anything to do with it. Of the five names listed above, only Abigail is non-biblical, I believe.
Last year Jacob and Sophia were the favorites. They are both biblical. I have a friend whose one-year-old grandson is named Elijah. Now that is truly and ancient, prophetic name!
Two of my friends from school were Gabriel and Paul. And ironically, my own first and middle names are saints’ names, even though my parents aren’t Christians.
You're wrong. Abigail is Biblical (Hebrew).
