Luke1:63
63 And he asked for a writing-table, and wrote, saying, His name is John. And they marvelled all.
It was the Parents place, the Fathers especially) to give Childdren their Names, Zachariah was Dumb as yet, they therefore make Signs to him, he by Writing declareth, that his Name was Iohn, that is, He was so named already by the Angel, therefore there was to be no further dispute about it. The Friends marvel at the consent of both the Parents in the case, declining all the Names of their kindred.
