Here's a little kid's lit trivia for you. In 'Twas the Night Before Christmas, we all remember it as saying Now, Dasher! Now, Dancer! Now, Prancer and Vixen! On, Comet! On, Cupid! On, Donner and Blitzen!
But here's the thing...the original text says Donder, not Donner. Sometimes popular culture changes things to suit itself (remember how Neverland became Never Neverland?) Personally, I like Donner better than Donder, though I can't agree with changing the author's words.
Now moving on to the Bible. The New Testaments never say there were three Wise Men, we just assume this since they brought three gifts. Maybe there were only two Wise Men...Maybe there were seven. Greg
