@Kuvult: ujm did not say that children with Jewish names fare better in life than those with non-Jewish names.

He just pointed out that it is a positive change.

Yidden are less focused on integrating with the goyim, and more proud of our traditions. This is a beautiful thing. (Especially in light of the aforementioned Vayikra Rabba)


@Gadolhatorah
: It has been part of Jewish tradition for centuries to give Yiddishe nicknames, as apposed to goyishe names.
