We've had the chat on Biblical parallels a couple of times before, and there are a lot of names that are simply not Biblical or where the parallel doesn't fit the character. Simon is pretty unlike Simon Peter or Simon Magus.

There's another cognate for "Anak" in Greek. It was the title of King or High King as "Wanax/Anax/Anak". There's debate as to whether the Biblical Anakim was borrowed from the Philistines, or some earlier Indo-European group. It's best not to misunderguesstimate SL's Book Learnin'.
