Name the 24 Elders

[rockytopva]

And round about the throne were four and twenty seats: and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold. - Revelation 4:4

And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof. - Revelation 5:5

So we have 24 elders who appear to have been saved in the church ages. Can we come up with 24 righteous names that may have been worthy to occupy this position? (Only one name per post please)

1. John Bunyan
