Sure, and many people do. Names like David, Nathan, John, Jonathan and Matthew have long been used in the non-Jewish world. If you name your child Elemelech or Betzelal, though, you might get some strange looks. Those who know their Bible will be really puzzled by people who give names like Cain and Ahab to their children.
