Ishmael as a common male personal name during the time of Jeremiah and Lehi

The following leads to a PDF of

 

Nahman Avigad, Hebrew Bullae from the Time of Jeremiah: Remnants of a Burnt Archive (Jerusalem: Israel Exploration Society, 1986), 64-66, 69, 74

 

showing that “Ishmael” was a common name used during the time of Jeremiah (and Lehi). Not a huge issue in apologetics, but this source has been referenced here and there in a few articles, so I thought I would make a scan for those who wished to see the relevant pages themselves.
