My vote's for Zephaniah (Zeph for short,
but in something like a census it would have been written like so: Zephaniah son of Cushi, the son of Gedaliah, the son of Amariah, the son of Hezekiah...now that's a mouthful!)
Oh, and I like Delilah...sure, she wasn't exactly the most upright of people...but isn't that name just perfect for a sultry temptress?

Japheth : son of Noah.
Don't forget his brother Ham - the inventor of the famous sandwich that still bears his name.

Melchizedek. Definately. Because if you burp a lot, people can call you "Belch-izedek," and it's funny. Unless they do it because they hate you. Then it's not.

NIMROD
Verse 9:8-10, refer to Cush's son Nimrod. Nimrod's name means "to rebel" or "let us rebel". Nimrod, is called a "mighty hunter". This is in sharp contrast to the prophecy of Noah, that Ham's descendants would be servants to Shem and Japheth. Nimrod built and apparently ruled the first great city after the Floor, Babylon. Afterward he extended his rule into Assyria and built Nineveh, Rehoboth and Calah. Nimrod was the first world ruler.
(and Bush is the Last? The Alpha & Omega Nimrod?)
The Bible does not say that Nimrod was responsible for the Tower of Babel, but it seems logical that he was being the founder and ruler of the city. The Babylonians invented the first false religion which was a worship of the stars, astrology. Babylon is infamous in Scripture as being a wicked city openly rebelling and fighting against God. The people of these great cities were major enemies of Israel throughout history. Nimrod was not a servant as Noah had prophesied, but the opposite a "mighty hunter".(2) It seems Nimrod's goal in life was to disprove the prophecy of his grandfather and it is possible Ham's resentment of his father Noah was kindled in his grandson.
