I almost picked Assurbanipal but, despite the fact that he basically drove the Empire into the ground due to his bizarre religious predilictions, I still prefer the Neo-Babylonian Nabonidus to the Neo-Assyrian.
Of course, why Zoroaster didn't make the list, I'll never know.
Incidentally, I already know a man who named his son Gilgamesh. He's also coauthor of The Bible for Dummies.
