Where else “shaul” appears- Jonathanיְהוֹנָתָןyehonatan

Abinadab
Abinadab: the name of several people; among them the man of Kiriath-jearim in whose house the ark stayed (1 Samuel 7:1), a brother of David (1 Samuel 16:8) and a son of Saul (1 Samuel 31:2). It means "my father is generous".
Where else “avinadav” appears- and Esh-baalאֶשְׁבָּעַלeshbaal
Esh-baal
Esh-baal: the son of Saul called Ish-bosheth in 2 Samuel. The name means "man of Baal"; "baal" means "lord, owner," and later the name became tied to the Canaanite god Baal, which is why in Samuel it was changed to "bosheth," "shame."

Translation note
In 1 Samuel 9:1 the father of Kish is called Abiel, and Ner is the brother of Kish (1 Samuel 14:51). “Esh-baal” (“man of Baal”) is the son of Saul whom 2 Samuel 2:8 calls “Ish-bosheth” (“man of shame”). “Baal” means “lord, owner”; later the name became bound to the Canaanite god Baal.
