How many names in the New Testament mention those of the Old Testament? We know Jesus mentions Abraham and Moses, for example. How many other names (prophets / important persons) are mentioned? Is Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, etc mentioned anywhere in the New Testment?

Isaiah is mentioned in John:
Jhn 12:37 But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on him: Jhn 12:38 That the saying of Esaias the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spake, Lord, who hath believed our report? and to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed? Jhn 12:39 Therefore they could not believe, because that Esaias said again, Jhn 12:40 He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; that they should not see with [their] eyes, nor understand with [their] heart, and be converted, and I should heal them. Jhn 12:41 These things said Esaias, when he saw his glory, and spake of him. Jhn 12:42 Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess [him], lest they should be put out of the synagogue: Jhn 12:43 For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God. -

Hebrews chapter 11 mentions a whole mess of 'em.
Jude mentions Enoch. Gospel writers mention Noah, Elijah, Daniel, Solomon, David....
That's just off the top of my head.
